Ariel and Dustin | Small Intimate Wedding in Manuel Antonio
Ariel and Dustin
When I first talked to Ariel and Dustin, they told me the most important thing when it came to their wedding was family. They wanted to be able to enjoy the day with their family and closest friends and not have to worry about posing for photographs.
They did tell me that it was also very important for them to have photos by the ocean, so we planned on having a very quick portrait session with them at the beach after the ceremony.
Ariel got ready with the girls, and had a special note and gift for each of them.
The ceremony took place on the Sky Deck, which had a panorama view of Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach.
After the ceremony Ariel and Dustin and I went to the beach as planned for a few photos. They didn’t want to be away from their guests for too long, and it turned out to be the perfect amount of time for a mini session.
When we got back up to the hotel, they immediately went in to their first dance and parent dances. The night finished with a lively dance party.
