Andrea, being from Costa Rica, and Gilbert, being from Mexico, had an action packed celebration full of cultural traditions from both of their origin countries. This sweet couple chose Villa Caletas as their venue, a beautiful and unique venue situated on a cliff with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.

The day started with Andrea getting ready with her bridesmaids and closest female friends and family. She was calm yet joyful and looked so beautiful.

While the girls finished up the final touches of hair and makeup we headed over to Gilbert who was getting ready with his groomsmen. He was very easy going and also didn't seem to have any sense of nervousness.

By the time we were back with Andrea the celebrations were in full swing. Champagne popping and lots of giggles were what we were welcomed back to. Andrea put on her lace dress and prepared herself for a first touch with Gilbert.

After family photos at the church we made our way back to Villa Caletas for the portrait session. I love all the different areas that the hotel has for photos, they are all so beautiful. Andrea and Gilbert were naturals in front of the camera and it really shows in their photos.

The reception was held in the Rancho at Villa Caletas, a huge thatch roof gazebo. Beautiful tropical flowers overflowed from every corner of the reception, it was a truly stunning setup. Andrea and Gilbert made their entrance just as the sun began to set.

A mariachi band surprised the guests and serenaded the couple. Gilberto was given the sombrero and invited to sing along, which made the crowd go wild.

Just before we left for the evening the bride's mother surprised the newlyweds with some fireworks. This was not the end of the celebrating though, as the dancing continued on into the evening along with performances by a Costa Rican comparsa group. The evening was full of love and surprises, it will surely be a night to remember.
