Not ever a hurricane could damper the spirits of Jordan and Kenady and their wedding group. The day after Hurricane Otto made landfall in Costa Rica these two wonderful people married one another and threw a party that no one will forget. 

Kenady and Jordan married one another on a surprisely beautiful day. The sky was clear, the storms had passed and the beach ceremony was carried out as planned. The wedding was held at Langosta Beach Club, right outside of Tamarindo. Jordan was getting ready on a hilltop hotel with beautiful views on the ocean and town below.

Kenady and her bridemaids were getting ready just across the street from the Beach Club. Kenady was very laid back and relaxed as she effortlessly got ready. Her dress was the most perfect beach dress I could ever imagine. In seemed to be inspired by the ocean and had sweet and timeless waistline to it.

The intimate ceremony was held on the beach. Green garlands linned the aisle and draped the arch. It was simply perfect.

And they were married! I already had an idea that it was going to be a fun night, but this was the moment I became sure of it. Kenady and Jordan ran through the brige created by their bridal party to start the celebration off right!

The reception was also held beach-side under a tent. The rectangular wooden tables were beautifully decorated with natural greens and golden accents. I loved the unique table numbers on the coconuts, it was a true representaton of Costa Rica.

Speeched were given during a beautiful candlelit dinner. The afternoon storms finally caught up with us and the rain began, but that did not dampen the spirit of the celebration. If anything it made it stronger. Shots of tequila flowed as the group banged the tables and cheered on guests who would empty the pockets of water pooled in the tent edges. The great thing about getting stuck in the rain in Costa Rica is that it is warm rain!

The party was moved pool side where the DJ was setup and dancing began. There is nothing like dancing in Costa Rica with your feet a little wet. The couple shared a first dance and followed it with high fives from their guests who rallied for them.

Jenny & Kevin's Oh So Sweet Wedding at Capitan Suiza

12/19/2016

Comments

Jenny and Kevin were just as sweet as could be. They are a Texan couple and their southern hospitality was apparent throughout their wedding day. A great group of friends and family joined this couple on their wedding adventure. They chose to have their wedding in Tamarindo at Capitan Suizo, a beachfront hotel well groomed with tropical plants and flowers. The wedding was just in front of the sandy shores with the reception a stones throw away from the beach. When you think of the Costa Rican destination wedding, this is exactly what one would imagine. Pure natural beauty, simplicity, sandy toes, tropical breezes and stunning sunsets.

Jenny was getting ready in a room overlooking the ceremony setup and ocean. She was joined by her bridesmaids who were all giddy with excitement. I think being able to see the progress of the ceremony setup made everything that much more real. Jenny chose to wear a simple cotton dress, adorned with lace sleeves, the perfect dress to compliment her classic beauty and ringlet curls.

Jenny's mom surprised Jenny with a gift of a beautiful diamond necklace from her husband to be. The gift was accompanied by a very special story.

Kevin had requested to meet with Jenny's parents because he wanted to get their opinion about a gift he had gotten her, her parents assumed he was going to ask for her hand in marriage. When he pulled out the gift it was the diamond necklace. Jenny's mom's heart skipped a beat as she thought Kevin wasn't ready to take that next step. Kevin asked what they thought about the gift, and then said it was the gift he wanted to give Jenny on their wedding day. He then pulled out the stunning engagement ring as Jenny's parents gave him a loving appoval. He kept his word and surprised Jenny with the lovely gift and a touching note to accompany it.

Kevin and his groomsmen were getting ready on the other side of the resort. I have never tried "fireball" but it must be super amazing as I have seen it recently at many weddings during the guys getting ready moments.

For the ceremony a beautiful green arch was set overlooking the Pacific waters of the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. Palms leaves and petals created an aisle for the bride to walk down.

After the ceremony the bridal party took to the beach for photos. The lighting was magical as the sun had ducked behind the jungle lined beach, creating a beautiful golden hour.

The tented reception was setup beautifully. Driftwood, succulents and eucalyptus adorned the tables and created a romantic space for everyone to celebrate. Toasts were given, smiles were shared and tears were shed.

The couple thanked their guests for joining them, which I believe is such an important part of a wedding but even more so a destination wedding. Couples don't often think about the sacrifice their guests make to join them in a foreign country. The costs involved, vacation time from work spent, travel time, etc. But the wonderful thing about it all is that it really isn't a sacrifice for the people there. They truly want to be there because they love the couple so much that they would do anything to be apart of such a special moment in their lives.

12/7/2016

Zarina and Allan traveled to the beautiful town of Manuel Antonio with a large group of family and friends to celebrate their marriage. The couple originally thought family and and a handful of friends would be able to attend the wedding, but were happily surprised when many more were eager to make the trip in honor of the couple.

I started the day with Allan and his groomsmen at Villa Pelicano where they were getting ready. I love the printed shirts that they all wore, they looked great and fitted the theme. The groomsmen were hanging out and having fun.

Zarina and her bridesmaids were getting ready just across the street at another villa. The group was just as sweet as could be, it was so fun to get to work with them. Zarina and Allan planned to surprise each other with the wedding rings. They both were very pleased with the others choice when they got to see them for the first time during the ceremony.

The reception was held at a nearby restaurant called el Largato. Natural wooden tables and chairs made from locally sourced tree trunks add a rustic feel to the atmosphere. Tropical flowers adorned the tables and trinkle lights made the perfect overhead accent to the recepton.

I left just as the party was really kicking off. I was able to capture this fun group "shot" (no pun intended) before leaving.
