Karyla & Scott's Glamorous Wedding at Dreams las Mareas

Scott and Karyla traveled to Costa Rica with a substantial group of friends and family to celebrate their marriage to one another. It has been overcast all morning and started raining while Karyla was getting ready. She was completely calm about it and in the most casual voice ever just said, "Hey look, it's raining." Without a hint of worry or stress. It was obvious that she was only focused on marrying the man of her dreams and nothing else would damper her excitement about that. 

The day started with Scott and his groomsmen getting ready. I had a little more time to spend with them than I normally do which was great because I got to take them outside for some group shots. 

Karyla and her bridesmaids were getting ready in another room in the resort. The group of girls are very close knit and always laughing when together. 

Due to the rain the ceremony was moved inside last minute. It was held in the Rendezvous Bar which had really beautiful lighting and was private for just the wedding group. There was not a dry eye in the room as Karyla walked down the aisle, it was such a special moment.

Just after the couple said, "I Do" the clouds parted and the rain cleared away. We headed to the beach to get some beautiful photos. 

The reception was held in the ballroom at Dreams. The crowd roared as the newlyweds made their entrance into the party. Speeches were made by a few different people and dinner was served. 

All of the speeches that evening were heartfelt and humorous. But I don't think anyone would disagree in saying that the bridesmaids went above and beyond with their speech. The changed the lyrics to one of Karla's favorite Disney songs, making the song about the Bride and Groom. Then they belted it out for everyone to enjoy, it was a very impressive performance and I know Karyla will never forget it.
