Sasha and Arun took their celebration to northern Portugal and Quinta Lago dos Cisnes, the Lake of the Swans estate near Braga, a quinta of still water, terraced gardens and rolling green hills. The couple married by the lake, with the celebration spilling across the gardens and into a night lit by chandeliers and stage lighting. Founding Kudos DJ ITCH and DJ Chonkx carried the floor through the night, reading an international crowd and keeping the energy from the first dance to the last record.
