Ariane & Chris' Romantic Elopement at Arenas del Mar

Nothing is more romantic than a soft and slow kiss from your newly married wife. The only thing that could possibly be more romantic is running away to Costa Rica with your lover and marrying them with your toes in the sand and without a care in the world. 

Ariane and Chris traveled from Tampa, Florida to do just that. Ariane was so sweet and excited to be getting married. She opted not to do getting ready photos so I met her at the hotel reception and we made our way down to the secluded beach at Arenas del Mar. There Chris was waiting for her, under a beautifully decorated arch.

Just before the bride and groom kissed each other, Marcelo, the officiant, read a rather interesting passage to the couple. It was a message from Ariane's father, a rather threatening message from her father to Chris. It was all in good humor as the couple began laughing at what seemed a normal behavior from the bride's dad. They kissed on a happy note, and with smiles on their faces.

After the ceremony we took to the beach of Areanas del Mar. The tide was a bit high but it made the sand perfect for footprints.

I love how the photo below came out, especially considering what the area looked like in person. I think Ariane and Chris probably thought I was crazy to have them sit on this log with a very messy background full of dead leaves and branches. But with the right settings and the right lighting this stunning image was created.
