Helene + Adam

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.

PARTY is one word to describe this wedding. It started from “Take a shot, take a seat” and from there it went nuts! I think we took more dance shots than anything. The surprise mob dance for the groom topped it all off!

I love Spreafico Farms with their amazing views on top of the hill during the ceremony and the amazing backdrops during golden hour for portraits.  You can 't go wrong choosing this venue.  Not only that, but the owners are truly hospitable and super friendly which makes the entire day much more accommodating.  Kelsey and Nick are such an easy couple to work with.  They trusted my eye and let the day flow, which makes any photographer's job easier.  Thanks again, guys!
