Love Blooms in Costa Rica

Not everyone’s love story is the same. Some are long, some short. Some are simple, and some epic. And sometimes love blooms slowly, beautifully, when the time is just right.

That’s how it was for Bree and Aaron. Their relationship traveled a winding path that began as platonic friends helping each other with their love lives. Eventually, as best friends they fell in love with each other.

Love Blooms in Costa Rica

Costa Rica holds an incredibly special place in the hearts of this couple. They came to visit last year and fell in love with the country and its warm-hearted people. Both of them love the outdoors and the ocean, which Costa Rica’s beach towns offer plenty of both! 

But something even more special happened while they were here. During their trip, Aaron decided that he wanted to take the next step with their relationship and propose to Bree. Aaron popped the question while they were at a concert for one of their favorite bands- Thievery Corporation (so we know they have good taste).   Bree called it one of the most magical nights of her life!  Love blooms in magical places like this!

Trash the Dress Session

Bree and Aaron decided to have a trash the dress session the morning after the ceremony. This was a great idea as we had some rain during the wedding ceremony. With this extra portrait session we had a chance to capture some amazing memories.
