What’s so Great About Beach Weddings? You’ll See…
Beach weddings are where it’s at. The splash of the surf, the feel of sand between your toes, and the gentle breeze tousling your hair add magic to the wedding ceremony.
For me as a photographer, it’s one of the best things about living near the award-winning Manuel Antonio National Park and its beaches. There is no shortage of spectacular beach weddings in my portfolio.
Erica and Eddie’s lovely wedding is just one example of how gorgeous a beach wedding ceremony can be. Let’s take a look!
Ceremony on the Beach
Have you dreamed of exchanging vows at the water’s edge? Erica and Eddie decided to make that dream a reality for them and brought along all their favorite people to help them celebrate their beach wedding.
As you’ll see from the ceremony photos, the backdrop was exquisite. There’s a reason that Manuel Antonio is famous for its beaches! Erica and Eddie decided to have their ceremony on the beach near the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park.
Standing in a ring of flowers, surrounded by their loved ones, these two were delighted to make their pledges to one another.
La Mariposa
They decided to have their wedding at La Mariposa Hotel, which is an experience in and of itself. The views offered by this hilltop hotel of the ocean and the jungle are absolutely stunning. Plus, every evening you can enjoy nature’s spectacular display as the sun dips down into the ocean.
La Mariposa is a long-standing hotel that offers simple wedding packages and boasts having helped over 1500 couples. The stellar staff took care of all the details so all that Erica and Eddie had to do was enjoy their day!
After the beach ceremony, everyone went back to the hotel to enjoy an evening filled with fun and dancing. Le Papillon Restaurant at La Mariposa offers a spectacular view of the sunset, along with delicious dishes prepared by an internationally recognized chef.
Erica and Eddie and their guests took full advantage of the delicious food and toe-tapping music at their reception. This is the way weddings are supposed to be, fun and full of laughter.

Erica and Eddie were excited to preserve the memories of this day with a customized wedding album. In addition to all the great candid shots we got during the day we also made sure to get photos a bunch of group photos with friends and family.
