Gabby and Cory were married on a windy day on the shores of beautiful Costa Rica. Gabby is originally from Costa Rica so it made sense for the New York based couple to travel here for their destination wedding. The wedding took place at the all inclusive resort Casa Conde, where friends and family joined the couple for a week of celebrations.
In Cory's vows to his wife he talked about the first time he met her, and how her beautiful smile drew him in. Gabby's smile was something I noticed as well, even before I heard Cory's vows. It is so beautiful and almost constantly in use. She was for sure a very happy bride!
I started the day with Gabby and her bridesmaids, a few of whom were her sisters. Gabby had really put a lot of thought and effort into the details of the wedding day. Many of the items were handmade by the bride herself.

The ceremony was held under the trees on the edge of the beach. The groom met his bride half way down the long aisle and they finished the walk in together as one.
The reception was held in a tented area near the resorts pool. The couple's wedding planner, Costa Rica Paradise Wedding, did a wonderful job with the decor.
Cory and Gabby both lost their mothers much too soon. It was something that brought the couple even closer together as they could both relate to the pain of losing a mother at a young age. Both mothers were honored though out the day and I am sure that they were both smiling down on their children that day.
After all of the formalities the party was moved from the tent to the pool deck.
Gabby surprised her guests with some amazing entertainment that is traditional to Costa Rica. These giant puppet like creatures known as ¨Mascaradas¨ joined the party to the beat of the drums and brought the celebrating to a whole new level. It was so much fun to see them dance around, and the smaller ones would chase after the woman as the shrieked and ran away.
