HERDADE DA
MALHADINA NOVA
hallie x jason
The alentejo region in Portugal is home to unique, immaculate and endless landscapes of inestimable beauty. Hallie & Jason celebrated their wedding at the wonderful estate Herdade Da Malhadina Nova. It is a place of endless horizons where the family's passion and dedication turned long-abandoned land into fields where authentic Alentejo products grow and blossom. As an homage to the excellent food and wines, respect for environmental sustainability and the preservation of ancient traditions. Martha from Tales Wpt created an authentic experience & design in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings. Contrasting the sleek and raw architecture of the estate with lush and airy florals as valuable elements of a unique aesthetic.
Thanks to a wonderful team of talented humans who made this day in this incredible place a reality.
Set within a dreamscape of rolling hills in the Portuguese countryside, Hallie & Jason’s wedding was a beautiful contrast of elegance and whimsy against rustic surrounds.
For my jewellery I liked the classic nature of pearls, but my earrings in particular also had a unique touch in the shape of the hoops. I also knew I wanted a lariat necklace to complement the shape of the dress. The fact that this one featured sustainable lab-grown diamonds and a modular design made it even more perfect. Finally, I wore my mother-in-law’s diamond tennis bracelet – something she had gifted me the first time we visited Jason’s parents in Chicago together.
I loved that the raw silk dress was structured but soft, very light, and that it had pockets! I was also very much inspired by Kate Moss’s garden wedding when she got married surrounded by bridesmaids and flower girls in matching delicate white dresses. So my bridesmaid wore a dress in broderie anglaise with daisy floral embroidery. For my shoes I chose Chanel slingbacks in beige and black. I wanted to treat myself something I already wanted – a pair of classic shoes that I would also wear long after the wedding.
WELCOME EVENT
It's amazing to think that our family and friends came all the way here from all different parts of the world to celebrate us. We loved seeing how everyone was falling in love with the country just as we did. We chose Portugal because it was one of the first trips we’d taken together and we loved everything it had to offer, from great weather to delicious food and wine to the beautiful landscapes.
Ikebana symbolizes the beauty of all components of the natural world working in harmony. I always liked the look of arrangements that are a bit wild but subtle, much like Ikebana. To balance out the more airy and erratic nature of that kind of composition, I asked for white florals with lots of greenery.
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
For Hallie and Jasons engagement session it was all about discovering the beauty and hidden gems of Portugal.
So we simply explored the soaring cliffs and golden bays of the natural, unspoiled coastline of the Algarve together. The poetic color collision between the golden limestone, the turquoise ocean water and the endless horizons will forever have a lasting impression in our hearts.

"There will never be enough words in any language to express our gratitude to Jasmin and Tim at Flora&Grace. We were introduced to them through our wedding planners and as soon as I saw their work I knew we would be working together. Every image tells a story and takes you right back to that day. They captured our wedding weekend completely. When we saw our photos and videos for the first time we couldn’t even speak right away. They are an absolute dream."

"Jasmin and Tim of Flora & Grace really captured our
attention because their photography was so elegant, stylish, yet without pretense. We really loved their aesthetic and the fact that their shots looked
more like fashion editorials than typical wedding photos. We really loved how positive and excited they were about the wedding and the fact that their
shooting style was to simply capture us as we were naturally."

FROM NEW YORK
"Dear Jasmin and Tim,
thank you so much for your wonderful work. It's incredible where you've been, what you've captured, what you've seen and how you've orchestrated it. And the way you selected it, edited it - we’re honestly deeply impressed. You have created art "en passant", which in our perception on the day, we hardly noticed - and if then only as very pleasant. You have far exceeded our expectations and given us a wonderful gallery of memories to last a lifetime. We cannot thank you enough.
See you soon - hopefully in Mallorca."

"On a wedding day, multiple things can be stressful, but with Jasmin, photography was not one of them. She talked with us a lot before and understood what we wanted out of it and what we're comfortable with. She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural. She was smiling, laughing and open to all our needs. We trusted her art and she trusted our story. Once we saw the final pictures, we actually got to relive our entire day which was priceless. Everything was captured with the same energy it happened, from the location, to getting ready, to the first look, the ceremony, the guests, the hugs, the tears and the smiles."
"She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural."
FROM CALIFORNIA

"Their images are so incredibly beautiful and touching. They documented their bond perfectly. Just wanted to say how grateful I am that they accepted to come and capture Josephine and Micke's wedding. They were such a joy to be around and brought lots of happiness, laughter and positivity to the day - it would've been entirely different without them there! They made Josephine and Micke feel so relaxed and just blended into the day and celebrations seamlessly. The photos look sensational. I can't thank them enough."

FROM JAPAN
"We were instantly thrilled with Jasmin style: emotional, with a timeless beauty and a dedication to capture even the smallest details with her sense of aesthetics. After our first phone call, I was very happy that Jasmin was also very relaxed and funny. We quickly realized that we were united by a penchant for little details, so I was very sure that she was the right photographer for us. This was finally confirmed on our wedding day: with her cheerful and relaxed nature she did not let an initial tension arise. ..
The pictures of our wedding have become really beautiful, each one is a work of art!"
"each picture is a work of art!"
