Travis and Kellie

Wondering what a wedding would look like in Dominical? Check out Travis and Kellie’s amazing micro-wedding in Costa Rica that I photographed in this small coastal town recently.

Memories of Costa Rica

Costa Rica always had a special place in Kellie’s heart. Back in the day, her dad owned a hardware store in the small, sleepy community of Barú. It is located just inland from Dominical, and she has fond memories of going to the beach there as a child.

When it came time for her and Travis to tie the knot, coming back to her roots just seemed like the right place. 

A Beautiful Ceremony Spot

Perfection for Travis and Kellie meant being surrounded by the lush beauty of Costa Rica on their wedding day. To that end, they rented a gorgeous house surrounded by lovely grounds and beyond that the jungle. 

The house, Casa Antigua, is situated up on a hill, allowing for a stunning view of the ocean over the tops of the trees.

They chose a ceremony site on a grassy knoll that gave them both the ocean and the jungle as the backdrop while they said their vows. It was a stunning sight to behold!

The Beach Session

After the ceremony, we went to the beach, Roca Verde, where Kellie had spent so many wonderful childhood days. Then we filled her memory book with gorgeous images of her and Travis celebrating their love in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Travis and Kellie had made it clear that they weren’t super into the traditional posed wedding images. We still got a few for the photo album, of course. 

However, once we got down to the beach, it was all about the two of them enjoying one another and I got creative with my camera. It’s always fun to look for different angles, reflections, and other tidbits to make the photos a little different from your typical wedding photos.
