Matthew McConaughey and his fiance Camila Alves are reportedly "scoping out venues" for their upcoming nuptials.

The pair went to Camila's native Brazil earlier this month so Matthew could take part in a fashion photoshoot.

But they were also there to start preparations for their big day, according to Star magazine.

"Matthew and Camila were scoping out venues in Brazil," a friend told the publication. "Camila is definitely the one in control of the wedding planning.

"Matthew likes to act as if she's dragging' him here and there, but really he enjoys it."

Camila has apparently also wanted to tie the knot in her home country and Matthew thinks that would be really special.

"Camila always dreamed of getting married in Brazil, and Matthew didn't need much convincing. He'd pretty much do anything for her, and he's come to love the country," the insider added.

"Camila's been working hard to incorporate him into the lifestyle there, going to parties and hanging out with her old friends."

The pair are also settling into their new $4 million, seven-bedroom mansion in Austin, Texas with son Levi, three, and two-year-old daughter Vida.
