Baylee & Chad · Palácio de Tancos
Chad and Baylee's wedding at Palácio de Tancos was three days of pure intention, a celebration designed from the ground up by a couple who knew exactly what they wanted and had the vision and the team to bring it to life in Lisbon.
The venue, a baroque palace in the heart of Lisbon, provided the kind of architectural grandeur that makes editorial documentary photography feel effortless. Baylee wore a custom gown by Adam Zohar, complemented by vintage Chanel shoes and Hermès accessories. The planning and full creative direction was led by Lovversstudio, whose signature approach to layered storytelling shaped every element of the three-day programme.
The weekend opened with a rooftop welcome cocktail, moved into a poolside party with a custom pizza setup and full bar, and culminated in a ceremony and reception within the palace's storied walls.
