I love this first photo. If you follow my blog you have probably noticed that I love taking back-lit photos. They are just so magical to me. I love how they portray something different than what the eye sees. To me this photo is especially magical. Just like Oscar and Chelsea's wedding day.
Oscar is Tico, or more formally known as Costa Rican. Chelsea is from Wisconsin and has been living here in Costa Rica for the past 4 years. I don't blame her for escaping from the cold to this beautiful country! Oscar and Chelsea's day was magical because both of their families, from two totally different places and with totally different backgrounds and cultures were together today celebrating a wonderful thing.
They chose Alma del Pacifico as their wedding venue, which is a beautiful hotel located on the Esterillos beach. The hotel itself is painted with bold colors and has tropical gardens scattered throughout the property. It is really a beautiful place for a beach wedding.

Chelsea and Oscar opted to do a first look. They wanted their guests to be as cool and comfortable as possible, which means having the ceremony as close to sun down as possible. Chelsea was brimming with excitement as she approached Oscar.
The ceremony was held on a grassy area of the hotels property, front and center with the beautiful and expansive beach. One great thing about this location is that the beach is very quiet. There are no people wandering through the background during the ceremony, or uninvited guests watching the show.
Chelsea and Oscar had wish lanterns for all of their guests to do as a closing to the reception. Unfortunately this was happening after my end time, so I had just the couple set off one lantern for photos. It was extremely windy and the lantern wouldn't fill right, even if it had taken off it would have been dangerous.
The couple had a beautiful outdoor reception. Perfect for a Costa Rican summer night.
