Alys and Manuel have been a family already for many years, raising their beautiful daughters together. They decided to make their marriage official by saying "I do" in Arenal, Costa Rica, a mountainous volcano town. Religion is a very important part of their lives and so they held their wedding ceremony in the Catholic Church of La Fortuna. The reception was held at, The Springs Resort. 

Manuel, his groomsmen, and both dads were getting ready in one of the rooms at The Springs. Everyone was in good spirits as the last preparations were made before heading to the church.

Alysa was getting ready with her bridesmaids, daughters and family members. She was calm as could be, and just went about doing what needed to be done.

We headed to the church attempting to beat the rain, which we did. The church was large and beautiful, and Manuel was nervously awaiting his bride.

After the ceremony we took family photos at the church and then headed back for newlywed portraits at the hotel. The volcano cleared for just long enough to get some beautiful photos. It is very rare for the volcano to clear, so Alysa and Manuel were really lucky that it happened while we were taking photos.

We made our way down to the reception area which was down by the river at The Springs. A small waterfall made the perfect setting to finish out our photo session. Cocktail hour was held on the river bank, with the reception in a large thatch roofed rancho.

There was a special table and place seating in honor of Manuel deceased brother. It was very apparent just how much this tragic event had affected Manuel and his entire family.
