Carol + Sean's Adventurous Nuptials at La Fortuna Waterfall

9/15/2016

Carol and Sean didn't want a big over the top wedding, instead they wanted something that truly represented who they are as a couple, and they got just that. The couple married one another in front of a stunning yet powerful waterfall amidst a jungle and at the foot of a volcano in Costa Rica. It was extremely intimate and emotional. 

The couple stayed at Hotel Nayara, and that is where Carol was getting ready and we held the first look. Carol is highly educated and is studying for her PhD in Spanish Linguistics. It was fantastic because she was able to directly communicate with the stylist and other vendors involved who only spoke Spanish. She was so sweet and down to earth. Her dress was absolutely to die for, soft and romantic and just perfect for a waterfall wedding.

The first look took place along side of the hidden fish ponds at Hotel Nayara.

After the first look we all headed to La Fortuna Waterfall. On the steep hike down I was able to capture photos of the couple.

At the bottom of the hike sits the waterfall. The couple stood on a narrow wooden deck overlooking the fall for the ceremony. I was looking forward to hearing Sean's vows, as Carol had talked up his writing skills, but the crashing waterfall drowned his words, at least for my ears. I could tell from Carol's facial expressions and tears that they were better than she thought they would be.

Just next to the waterfall is a massive rock wall. It was beautiful for photos.
