Rainbow at Destination Wedding Photo Shoot at Llanos de Cortes Waterfall
The Perfect Post-Wedding Photoshoot
Planning a destination wedding at a luxury hotel like Andaz Papagayo, the Marriott W Costa Rica, Riu Palace or Dreams Las Mareas in Costa Rica? Consider extending the magic of your special day with a photoshoot at the stunning Llanos de Cortes Waterfall. Many couples opt for a Trash the Dress / Day After Session to capture their love in a unique and breathtaking setting, without the stress and time constraints of their wedding day.
Why Choose a Day After Session?
A Day After Session allows you to focus on your guests during the wedding day and saves the most creative and relaxed photo moments for the following day. This approach offers the perfect opportunity to diversify your wedding album, combining beach shots from your big day with enchanting waterfall photos.
Discovering Llanos de Cortes Waterfall
Guanacaste is known for its flat, dry landscape, but Llanos de Cortes (also spelled Llanos de Cortez) is a hidden gem that defies the region’s typical scenery. Just over an hour’s drive from resorts like Riu Palace and Dreams Las Mareas, this easily accessible waterfall is an ideal location for a memorable photo session.
Easy Access and Natural Beauty
The simplicity of reaching Llanos de Cortes adds to its appeal. A short 5-minute hike from the parking area leads you to the waterfall. This convenience makes it popular, so visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon ensures a more private experience.
The waterfall itself is a sight to behold—wide and delicate streams of water cascade into a large pool, with rocky cliffs peeking through the shimmering curtain of water. The surrounding lush forest is alive with birds and, occasionally, monkeys, creating a picturesque backdrop for your photos.
The Perfect Spot for Stunning Photos
At the base of the falls, a serene pool invites you to swim or wade, while a sandy area provides a spot to relax. To fully enjoy this experience, wear good water shoes or old sneakers, as the rocks can be slippery.
During the photoshoot, we’ll explore various angles and spots to capture truly spectacular images. If you’re up for it, taking a dip in the water adds a fun and unique twist to your photos, making them stand out even more.
Conclusion
A post-wedding photoshoot at Llanos de Cortes Waterfall offers a unique and serene setting, allowing you to create unforgettable memories without the rush of your wedding day. The combination of beach and waterfall photos will make your wedding album truly special. So, embrace the beauty of Guanacaste and let the enchanting Llanos de Cortes Waterfall be the backdrop for your love story.
