Suzan and Steve's Catholic Wedding in Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica

Suzan and Steve traveled with friends and family to marry one another in the "Catedral de San Isidro" up in the mountains of Costa Rica. The sacrament of marriage was important to them both.  Suzan felt it was important to celebrate the blessing of Steven and the Sacrament of marriage in the church. But marrying in the church didn't stop them from getting beautiful beach portraits, as the reception was held at the waterfront restaurant La Parcela. 

One thing that I learned about Steve and Suzan, even in the short amount of time that I was with them, is how important their family is to them. In marrying one another they were blending two families together, and I could just see the love that they had for all of their children was so strong and apparent. 

I started the day by driving up the winding mountain road to the town of San Isidro. Suzan was getting ready in a room at the church house.

The church was beautiful, much larger than needed for the intimate group of friends and family, but that didn't matter. Locals and passerby's also joined in to watch and pray for the couple.

Suzan and Lauren each presented a pink glassy baby to the Blessed Mother in remembrance of their Mothers and their love, it was a very touching moment for everyone.

After the ceremony everyone headed back towards the coast, to join in at the reception at La Parcela restaurant, located in Uvita. The monkeys were there waiting to greet everyone as they arrived.

​The table was set beautifully, the brass and chrome colors worked flawlessly with the blue hues that the venue already had. The couple had creatively used pages from their favorite book as place mats, and a photo of each guest as a child marked their seat.

While guests enjoyed cocktails at the restaurant, the couple and I headed to the beach to take some portraits of the two of them.
