YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING STORY

Authentically Told

On your wedding day, I’m on the hunt for love, laughter, and the little moments that matter. Live it up with your guests knowing I’ll take care of the rest.

Most people want to be in the moment.

without worrying about capturing it.

While other photographers might direct your every move, I believe in letting your wedding day unfold naturally.

AUTHENTIC MOMENTS, ARTFULLY PRESERVED FOR GENERATIONS

You want to be fully present at your Costa Rica destination wedding

not missing precious moments with loved ones because you’re busy posing for photos.

FULLY ENJOY YOUR WEDDING DAY

And I’ll preserve the memories for a lifetime.

My approach is simple: I let the day happen and artfully capture genuine emotions and unscripted moments that tell your unique story.

No awkward poses, no interruptions – just real, honest photography that preserves the true essence of your celebration.

Genuine, photos that capture the heart and soul of your destination wedding in Costa Rica.

Don’t let your wedding  become more about posed photos than genuine moments.

Be Present, joyful, and completely immersed in your wedding day with loved ones.

I believe your wedding memories should be present in real life

not just as pixels on your phone or computer

This is why all my wedding collections include an album as well as options for custom-designed wall art.

Imagine years from now going through your wedding album and reliving these special moments, totally honest and un-staged.

WEDDING ALBUMS
People want to have tangible memories they can hold in their hands

This is why all my collections include a wedding album. An album is the ultimate keepsake to show loved ones your favorite memories from the day. The best part is you will find yourself talking about the day more, and even hear stories you’ve never heard before.

COSTA RICA WEDDING PACKAGES

My Costa Rica wedding packages are designed to be simple, flexible, and have absolutely no hidden costs. In the Guanacaste region my collections start at just two hours for $1,500 and include a highlight wedding album.  I also offer half day, full day, and multi-day packages that include welcome dinner coverage or a Trash the Dress Session.  As I document all these amazing moments on your wedding day,  I am photographing with the album layout and narrative in mind, which is why all my Costa Rica wedding packages include a wedding album.

These albums are works of art and are custom hand-designed specific to your wedding. I totally understand that after the wedding it is very difficult for couples to go through hundreds of moments and choose which ones to crop, print, and display in color or black and white. So let me do the heavy lifting and a few weeks after the wedding I will have a design draft ready for a virtual viewing session.

At this session, we can tweak the album design to make it your perfect family heirloom.  Best of all, you can approve the design during the viewing and I can have the album ordered and in your hands faster than many couples who will get married 6 months after you.

Got some questions?

01.

Yes, I travel throughout Costa Rica for weddings, and I love photographing various beautiful destinations across the country. Whether it’s a beachside ceremony, a mountain backdrop, or a lush rainforest, I’m available to capture your wedding in the location of your dreams.

02.

After your wedding, you can expect a beautifully curated collection of edited photos. The number of photos varies depending on the package, and I usually deliver them within 4–6 weeks, ensuring you receive a stunning gallery that reflects the story of your day.

03.

Pre-wedding and engagement sessions are a great way to capture special memories leading up to your wedding day. Some packages include engagement sessions to give you a chance to feel comfortable in front of the camera and create some beautiful, relaxed images.

04.

My photography style combines candid and editorial elements to bring out authentic moments and timeless elegance. I focus on capturing genuine emotions throughout your wedding day, along with a few guided shots to create natural yet polished portraits.

05.

I offer several wedding photography packages to suit different needs, including full-day coverage, partial-day coverage, and elopement options. Each package is customizable to help bring your unique wedding vision to life.

06.

This is why planning is key 🙂  During our green and rainy season, we try to start the ceremonies earlier so we can do the ceremony and portrait session when there is less chance of rain.  If there is a reception, normally this is in an area with some kind of rain back up.  But anyway, if  it rains on your wedding day, rest assured we’ll make the best of it.  I can work with you to create stunning photos regardless of the conditions.
