Camille & Chrisie's Sweet Wedding, Dominical, Costa Rica

Camille and Chrisie brought their family and very best friends to share a week together in Dominical, Costa Rica. During that week the two married one another while overlooking the blue pacific waters. It was an intimate and laid back affair, just like Camille and Chrisie wanted it to be.

Chrisie and Camille wanted to include a few items into their celebration that represented gay pride, but they didn't want it to overtake the ceremony and the meaning of what the two were doing that day. So, before the wedding, the entire group took some fun photos surrounding the gay pride theme. 

Afterwards Camille and Chrisie both made their preparations for the wedding ceremony. The weather couldn't make up its mind that day. One moment it was raining, the next it wasn't and then again 5 minutes later it was. But the weather didn't damper the spirit of anyone, which was really amazing to see.

In another area of the house Camille was getting ready with her sisters and friends.

The ceremony was held on a small platform overlooking the ocean. Luckily the rain held off for the ceremony, which was simply beautiful. The guests waded into the pool to create an intimate and supportive setting. 

After the ceremony the entire group jumped into a few different cars and headed down to the beach for photos. We went to Dominicalito, one of my favorite beaches in the area. The waves were tremendous and came crashing in and splashing up against the rocks. A few times my heart dropped as I thought, oh no, this wave is going to wash the newlyweds away. But luckily the water just shot up and made for magical photos. 

The session ended with their feet up and beers in their hands. I don't think it could have been a more perfect day for these two.
