Dinnia and Patrizio's Sweet Wedding at Alma del Pacifico

Dinnia and Patrizio tied the knot in front of family and friends on Esterillos beach at Hotel Alma del Pacifico. Dinnia is Costa Rican and Patrizio is Italian. These are my favorite kinds of weddings. When two people, from completely different parts of the world, with completely different cultures, fall in love and make it work. It also makes for an interesting group of people, as the guests are normally from all over the world as well. One big melting pot of a party.

Dinnia was getting ready with her mother and close friends. I just loved her fun personality, she was completely authentic. We were a little short on time but that didn't damper Dinnia's mood one bit, she was excited and ready to get married!

The ceremony was just steps away from Dinnia's room. A beautiful arch was setup with views of the Pacific Ocean. A creative honeymoon table was created by the bride's friend Nancy.

Immediately after the ceremony we headed to the beach for photos, as the sun was quickly setting. One of the things that I love about the beach at Alma del Pacifico is that it is very secluded and the bride and groom almost always have the beach entirely to themselves. 

Once it started getting dark the couple joined back in for cocktail hour under the stars. Dinnia and Patrizio had a surprise performance to entertain their guests. The reception was also held outdoors, close enough to the beach to hear the waves crashing. 

The bride's sister designed and created this beautiful dessert table fit for a king! It was such a ¨sweet¨ addition to the evening.
