Justin + Lindsay's Lavish Wedding at Villa Caletas, Costa Rica

12/3/2014

Lindsay and Justin were married in the beautiful and unique Villa Caletas amphitheater. About 20 friends and family flew in to celebrate this joyous occasion with the couple. The day was beautiful and the weather stayed rain free right up until we finished the family portraits. 

The reception was held in one of Villa Caletas many event spaces with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. The space was literally steps away from the ceremony location so it was very convenient to get to. The details were beautiful but what really took my breath away was the flowers. Beautiful, robust centerpieces of different shades of purple orchids were places on each table, surrounding by smaller arrangements and then submersed orchids in tall glass vases on the ends of every table.

The couple opted to do a first look with one another, so that they would be able to spend more time with their guests following the ceremony. I love first looks because it is very intimate, and also the portraits session doesn't need to be as rushed. Being that the wedding took place during the rainy season, it was also a smart thing to do since the weather is normally clear until the afternoon. 
After the couple saw each other I gave them a few minutes to themselves. I think it is important for every couple to have at least a few minutes alone with one another on such a special but busy day.

I snuck a few photos of Lindsay alone, she looked stunning.

Like I said earlier the amphitheater is a very unique place to have a ceremony. It is super beautiful and you can get interesting perspectives for photos, but the stairs are really steep and therefore a little bit dangerous.

I loved to see how Justin's three kids just lite up his and Lindsay's faces. It was touching to watch him share a dance with his eldest daughter. I am sure he was thinking about how one day he will be dancing with her in a white dress, I know I sure was.

Here they are belting out "Let it go" from Frozen, his youngest daughter's favorite song. If you have young girls you know exactly what this moment feels like, I know I sure do.

The night concluded with the most AMAZING fireworks show I have EVER seen. When they told me they were doing fireworks I was just expecting a few, but WOW this show was really over the top. Everyone was commenting on how it was the BEST show they had ever seen.
