Erin and Dave have known one another for a long time, and dated each other in high school. They grew apart and grew up and then were reunited as adults. The same spark was still there as adults, and Dave was able to make Erin laugh just as much as he did back in high school.
The couple took a trip to Iceland, where Dave proposed to Erin with her grandmothers ring. The fact that Dave was trusted with grandma's ring already tells a lot about who he is, and how much Erin's family already loved and trusts him, All of which was very apparent the day of the wedding. The couple wore custom bracelets that day of the wedding, with the coordinates of where Dave proposed to Erin, and rumor has it that they may get tattoos of the coordinates of where they married one another, here in Costa Rica.
For their wedding the couple invited a handful of family and friends to join them at Casa de las Brisas in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Erin and her beautiful daughter Sian were getting ready at the house, along with Erin's mother, sister and her niece. Upon arriving I noticed Sian playing on her tablet, she seemed like a very quiet and to herself kind of kid. A little later she woke up and proudly displayed her awesome and outgoing personality. She was so excited and has such a fun-loving spirit.

My encounter with Dave is slightly embarrassing for myself...no, it is very embarrassing. Dave was the first person I met upon arriving to the house. He greeted me with a big smile and a great attitude. He was taking it easy, wearing a brimmed fishing hat and just lounging with the guys.
Later on I went to find him, to take a few photos of the guys getting ready. I ran into another groomsman, or so I thought, I asked him his name and he replied, Dave. It took me a few minutes before I realized that this "groomsman" was actually Dave, the groom, that I had just met an hour or so earlier. All I will say is that Dave cleaned up really well, to the point where I hardly recognized him.

The ceremony was held on the rooftop deck, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Dave stood at the alter, patiently awaiting his beautiful bride.
After the ceremony guests were invited to join in a cocktail hour on the lower terrace. We took a few photos around the house and then headed down to the beach for the newlywed portraits. I am so glad Erin and Dave decided to go to the beach as it was one of the most beautiful sunsets of the season.
While guests were enjoying cocktail hour, Chelsea and her team from Oasis Destination Weddings transformed the rooftop ceremony space into a dinner reception. Vibrant tropical arrangements were set on the tables, while twinkle lights shone overhead. Speeches were given which brought people to tears with laughter,
After dinner the party moved down to the lower terrace, this time for cake and dancing under the stars.
