My world is where Creativity meets Excellence"
All my work begins with a blank sheet, and all my weddings are like a script of a love story
Like a book ... A BOOK OF LOVE! More than just tendencies, my Weddings are Love Stories, where all the couple story is incorporated and where the identity of each couple and my own fingerprint are always present. I love traveling, I love the sea, I love theater and I love Cirque du Soleil. All these influences are part of my creations, so I believe there should be no limits on how we think and create a wedding. Everything is possible and we should dream as much as we wish and make it happen on the day of the wedding! I love culture and to have been born in a country so rich in heritage and culture, the cultural aspects of each place and each couple are important for me to be present on the day of the wedding as part of each love story. I believe that we all fall in love in different ways, so I believe that all weddings must also be different, just as our passion is! I do not believe in impossible ideas. I believe that certain ideas need to be adapted and reorganized to materialize. In the end a "A Wedding is a Past, a Present and a Future" and just as a writer my job is to tell that Story of Love that happens through the time until the day of the wedding. Started my career in event industry at 19 years old and at 26 years old I started my career as a Wedding Planner constructed until nowadays from experience, specialized training and certification, passion and a natural talent for transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. During the past years i launched several innovative projects and wedding services in Portugal being a Wedding Activist and one of the professionals that most contributed for the recognition of Portugal in the International Wedding Industry

Welcome to Guedjland

What if a wedding wasn’t just an event — but a portal?

In the heart of this celebration, I created something far beyond decor or design. We opened a doorway. A passage. A moment where every guest crossed from the real world into a place suspended between dream and memory — a realm where time stops, youth is eternal, and imagination is law.

We called it Guedjland.

It wasn’t about entering a ceremony. It was about stepping into wonder. A sensory, emotional, and visual transformation. From enchanted forests to secret melodies, from silent lights to golden dust, every detail whispered: you are not in the real world anymore.

This is how I create.
This is what I believe weddings can be.
Not just beautiful. But transcendent.

I design weddings around the world for those who dare to dream differently.
If you're ready to open the portal, I'm here to build the world on the other side.

Some weddings are just events.
This one was a cinematic rebirth — and the most personal statement I’ve ever created.
REBORN wasn’t just a name. It was a journey.
A process of deep creation, born from emotion, resilience, and the privilege of being entrusted — fully — with a couple’s story, dreams, and truth.
The entire concept was anchored in a vision of rebirth and of taking flight into a new future.
Every geometry, moment, light, performance, dynamic and image was designed with a single intention: to reflect the movement of wings and the rise of a heart — symbols of renewal, of courage, of transformation.
After five years of waiting, of postponed plans and suspended hopes since 2020, Ana and David finally stepped into the day that was always meant to be theirs. And with them, I too stepped into the light of one of the most meaningful works of my career.
Set at the iconic Penha Longa Resort, this wedding was not only a celebration of love — it was a reflection of rebirth.
One of its most remarkable elements was the wedding cake — a true masterpiece by cake artist Sophia Fox. Inspired by the creative intention that guided my vision for the entire event, she designed a sculptural piece that became a highlight. A bold, emotional, and artistic interpretation of REBORN itself.
From ethereal aesthetics to fire-drenched performances, every detail pulsed with soul, intention, and meaning.
This was not just a wedding.
It was a creative and emotional destiny fulfilled.
A moment where love, art, and meaning rose — together, that I will be sharing during the next days.
My deep gratitude to my incredible team that made all this possible
A huge thanks to all the fabulous partners that helped to make this an unforgetable day.

If I were an action figure I’d come with strategic vision glasses, a notebook where ideas take flight, and a look ready to design dreams. But in real life, my gear to support my creativity is a little different: it’s called technology.

Being a wedding professional today is more than just having good taste. It’s about turning abstract ideas into visual, tangible, testable concepts. It’s about using the new technology so the client can see, feel, and experience what hasn’t happened yet.

Staying updated isn’t vanity. It’s a responsibility. Because if you’re the one imagining it, you should also be the one bringing it to life — with every tool the future has already placed in your hands.

Creativity has no limits. But it definitely deserves powerful allies.

Desafiar o presente para construir o futuro.
Foi esse o mote da minha participação no ZankYou Wedding Club no icónico onde tive o privilégio de estar como speaker ao lado do meu amigo e talento da fotografia, .

Falámos sobre Inteligência Artificial e o seu impacto no mundo dos casamentos — das potencialidades no workflow de trabalho à sua influência no design conceptual e criação de novas tendências. A tecnologia está a transformar a nossa indústria, e quem a abraça com visão e estratégia tem nas mãos a possibilidade de criar experiências verdadeiramente memoráveis.

Estes eventos são cada vez mais importantes porque é no conhecimento partilhado que fortalecemos a nossa indústria.
Porque é na procura constante da inovação que conseguimos elevar, todos os dias, a experiência do cliente a novos patamares de excelência.

Foi uma honra fazer parte deste momento.
Um enorme obrigado à e à ZankYou pelo convite, e ao SUD pela incrível receção.

A excelência não é um destino — é um caminho.
E é esse caminho que percorro diariamente, desenvolvendo novas competências e incorporando as mais recentes tecnologias nos meus serviços.
Tudo para desenhar casamentos únicos, personalizados, e onde cada detalhe é pensado para surpreender desde o primeiro minuto.

"Beyond Planning: Designing Your Love Story"

A wedding isn’t just an event—it’s an experience, a feeling, a vision brought to life. As a Wedding Designer, I don’t just plan weddings; I design them, shaping atmospheres, crafting moods, and creating immersive settings that tell your unique story.

Every space has a soul, every backdrop holds potential, and every couple deserves a wedding that is truly theirs—not just organized, but imagined, projected, and brought to life in real-time. With an artistic eye and an intuitive approach, I see beyond the obvious, transforming locations into breathtaking scenes that reflect your emotions, personalities, and dreams.

Your wedding should be more than just a date on the calendar. It should be a work of art, a vision made reality, a moment you step into and feel truly at home.

These photos were taken during a visit with a couple, as part of a project in partnership with Priti Raichura, a journey of creativity, vision, and storytelling in motion.

Let’s design the magic together. ✨

"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄✨

This Christmas season is a time to reflect on the beauty of togetherness, the warmth of family, and the importance of spreading love. It reminds us that we are not just creators of events or planners of dreams, but also storytellers of unforgettable moments, weaving memories that last a lifetime.

As we step into 2025, I reaffirm my unwavering commitment as a professional to design experiences of love that transcend borders and cultures. But more than that, I believe that we, as professionals, carry a greater responsibility: to be active voices in the pursuit of peace, to inspire the spread of compassion, and to contribute to a world where love and joy know no bounds.

Together, let us work towards creating a future where happiness is shared, where memories are cherished, and where sustainability and solidarity guide our actions. Let us use our voices and our craft to make a real difference in the world, one moment, one experience, and one heart at a time.

May this Christmas bring you peace, joy, and love, and may 2025 be a year filled with success, inspiration, and purpose. Let’s continue to dream, to create, and to make this world a more beautiful place—together.

Merry Christmas! 🌍❤️
