Chris and Brittany's Sweet Wedding at Costa Verde Hotel

I first met Brittany and Chris while they were here on a trip, scouting out venues for their wedding. We decided to take advantage of them being here and took some beautiful engagement photos. From the very first moment we met, I knew their wedding would be perfect. They are such a laid back couple and so full of joy, there was nothing that could make their day any less than perfect. 

Chris and some friends were getting ready in one of the casitas at Costa Verde, just a short walk from the ceremony area. He wore a navy blue suit with brown accents. Brittany gifted him a beautiful wooden watch, which went perfectly with the Costa Rica vibe.

Brittany was getting ready in the Penthouse with her mother. She looked absolutely stunning with a classic curly updo and a sheath beaded dress.

On our way to the ceremony we were able to pop into the reception area and get some beautiful detail shots of the setup. Pineapples were a bit of a theme for Brittany and Chris's wedding, and miniature pineapples were found in florals, they were so cute. 

The ceremony was set on the grassy knoll at Costa Verde. Surrounded by jungle yet with a view of the ocean, the grassy knoll works perfectly for intimate weddings. Chris and Brittany released bright blue Morpho butterflies at the end of their ceremony, it was a beautiful way to begin the celebration of this new chapter in their lives. 

After some family photos at the ceremony space the bride and groom made their way to the Manuel Antonio Beach, just in time for sunset. It was low tide and the volcanic rocks were exposed and accessible, making for some beautiful shots.
