Emily and JP brought family and friends to the tropical area of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. They were there to celebrate all week together, including fun tours and beach days, all climaxing with the marriage between these two love birds. The couple stayed at Villa Pelicano, a large luxuary villa that is great for entertaining. The wedding ceremony was held their on the lawn, and the reception on the terrace. It was perfect for this down to earth couple who just liked to have fun.
The say started with Emily getting ready. She was so sweet and eager to marry JP, the man of her dreams. Her dress was a beautiful all lace gown that she had purchase on a whim while vacationing with JP in Rome. He also purchased his handsome navy suit in Rome as well. A stunning sapphire ring served as Emily's something blue.

On the other side of the villa JP was getting ready with his groomsmen. The couple wrote letters to each other to read before seeing each other at their first look.
Emily and JP did a first look out in the garden area in front of the villa. We took a few portraits there and then had the bridal party join for a few more fun photos.
JP escorted his lovely wife to be down the aisle, just after the two grown flower boys sprinkled it with petals. I loved how this couple kept things lighthearted the entire day. And even though they had some fun things throughout the ceremony, the ceremony wording itself was very beautiful and meaningful.
After taking their first selfie as Mr. and Mrs. we headed down to the beach for a few more portraits. It was high tide at the beach which left us with only a small space to work with, but it was still beautiful.
The reception was bright and tropical, beautiful handmade table runners added a special touch to the decor.
Emily and JP started the party off with a bang, dancing a salsa dance with each other as their first dance. Speeches and dinner followed.
