Wow, what a fun and relaxing wedding with great company! This was my first out of the country destination wedding and I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity to experience and capture it all. Our stay and the wedding was set on the west coastal region of Costa Rica. To the north, where our stay was located, was filled with white sand and peaceful sounds of waves crashing. To the south was Tamarindo, where most tourists visited was filled with restaurants and bars. Our location was perfect with easy access to the beach to surf, which the guys took advantage of right before the wedding, while the girls did yoga on top of the large ocean view relaxation area. If I was planning my wedding again, this is exactly what I would want. It’s not only cheaper, but what a fun way to have your closest family and friends on vacation while enjoying all the wedding festivities. I was lucky enough to experience it all with this family. I was able to capture a lot of in between moments before and after the wedding while getting to know each and every one of them. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and also, inspirational. So if you happen to plan a wedding in Costa Rica, remember me because I would love to do more of these.

When Gretchen and Zach first spoken to me, they made it a point that they would rather skip the whole lovey dovey stuff and instead would rather have candids photos of everyone there.  They also made it a point they wanted to just have fun relax and to make sure capture all of the musicians that will be performing.  We definitely captured all that and more.  With the help of my new friend and second shooter for the day, Danielle, she captured exactly what they were thinking.  It was beautiful day in a beautiful venue.  Couldn't ask for more.
