Gloria + Erik's Sweet Union at Villa Caletas, Costa Rica

If you love something, let it go. If it was meant to be, it will come back to you. - Cecelia Ahern

I only caught bits and pieces of Erik's vows to Gloria, but what I did gather is that life had a way of bringing these two people together over and over, and then again moving them apart. Whether it be for school, work, family or whatever the case, their lives were separated from each other, until this day, their wedding day. This was the day that they vowed to one another to never live apart. 

Gloria and Erik traveled from California to the beautiful coast of Costa Rica with a small group of family and friends. They married one another at the Mirador Terrace at Villa Caletas. Their sweet daughter was a huge part of their special day, and brought sparks to both of their eyes every time she was around.

The ceremony was held on a covered terrace overlooking the Pacific waters. A beautiful floral cross stood as the alter. 

Gloria and Erik didn't want to leave their guests for very long so we did a mini-portrait session on the hotel grounds near the ceremony site. Their family and friends had traveled so far so they wanted to spend every possible minute enjoying their company. 

The reception was held adjacent to the ceremony. One grand table was set for the entire wedding group, with the bride and groom appropriately at the head of the table.
