I had the absolute pleasure to photograph Lindsey & Chris’ destination wedding in Costa Rica this winter. There were so many amazing, beautiful moments over the two days I spent documenting their destination wedding I decided to break up my blog posts into two days. Day 1 was spent on a fantastic sailing trip that set sail from Playa Conchal and took a group of about 30 people to a quiet cove for swimming, snorkeling, snacks and, of coarse, tropical libations.

Costa Rica Destination Wedding | Laura & Adrian
I couldn’t imagine a better way to end the year but with a destination wedding in Costa Rica! Costa Rican native, Adrian, never thought a tall, crimson haired, gringa from Wisconsin would steal his heart but fate brought him and Laura together in Peru while hiking the Inca trail to the sacred grounds of Machu Picchu. After a long distance courtship Laura & Adrian knew it was love and the bride to be left her cold, snowy home for the tropical paradise that is Costa Rica.
This December, an exuberant group of family and friends traveled to the small village of Manuel Antonio where they watched the overjoyed couple recite their vows as the sun set at the beautiful Hotel Costa Verde. The steamy night was full of flaming shots, Latin dancing, copious amounts of tequila and a surprise drum band that heightened the already raging party to a whole other level.
Thank you so much Laura & Adrian, it was an honor and privilege to be invited down to Costa Rica to help document your truly special day!

Mexico Wedding in the Riviera Maya | Travel Tuesdays
I absolutely love Mexico. I’ve only seen a fraction of the huge country but just completely adore everything about it. The beaches, the temples, the language, the yummy street tacos, the music… the list is long. Mexico is one of the very few places I have gone back to mutiple times. With so many places to see and so many things to do in this world, it says a lot that I have been back numerous times.
One of my favorite trips to Mexico was to photograph Kerra & Patrick’s destination wedding in the Riviera Maya. They were married on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Maroma Beach, at the all-inclusive resort El Dorado Maroma. The wedding was everything I imagined it would be and we even did a trash the dress session at a cenote near Playa del Carmen.
There is something special about the light in Mexico. Colors just seem more vibrant down there against the white sand beaches and crystal-clear water. They were an amazing couple to work with and I feel so fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to work in a country I love so much.
