Andres and Rachel both live in Cost Rica. Andres is from here originally, and Rachel is from Northern Ireland. The couple live in San Jose, but brought their families to the beautiful beaches of Uvita to celebrate their marriage. The reception was held at La Cusinga Hotel, with the ceremony on a secluded beach that borders the National Park of Playa Ballena.
The reception was setup beautifully. Tropical flowers adorned the tables, and each seating had a hand painted wooden souvenir cup. The cups were painted with a Tucan, which was very fitting as the theme of the hotel is Tucans.

The bride arrived first and we decided to do a very impromptu first look.
Who can resist a wedding day selfie?
Andres and Rachel had a unique day planned. They really loved the idea of getting married by a waterfall on the property, but there was not much room for family and friends to comfortably sit and watch the ceremony. They decided to do the legal part of the ceremony in front of the waterfall, with only their witnesses present. The actual ceremony took place right after on the beach.
I jumped on the opportunity to take some beautiful portraits in the midst of the jungle before heading back to the beach ceremony.
The hike to and from the beach was very steep. On the way back guests were invited to stop at a lookout point and dehydrate with some cool agua de pipa.
