Katie + Jeremy's Sweet Wedding Surprise at Vista Hermosa

Katie and Jeremy were so excited to be getting married. I was so excited to be documenting their wedding day. A week or so before the wedding Katie sent me an even more exciting email, that she was expecting! The couple planned to tell their parents on their wedding day and were thinking of ways of how they could creatively tell them. A sweet plan was devised and only a few were in know. 

Katie and Jeremy stayed with their wedding group at a beautiful new villa called Vista Hermosa. The getting ready took place their as well as the reception. I started the day with Katie and her maid of honor getting ready. Katie was so excited, double checking that she had everything she needed and that all the details were taken care of.

Katie surprised her fiance Jeremy with a hand written note. She was laughing the whole time knowing that he would have to write her one back, out of obligation. She was right, shortly after Jeremy's note was delivered Katie received a response. It is so adorable how well this couple knows each other.

The ceremony was held on the Manuel Antonio beach, under the wild almond trees that grow along the shore. I love Katie's expression of excitement as she made her way down the aisle to meet her husband to be.

After the ceremony guests were treated to a delightful cocktail hour at the beach. Delicious food and drinks were served while the couple went off with me for a few portraits. The beach was really crowded, but thanks to a handy little thing I call Photoshop the photos came out beautifully.

After sunset we headed back to the villa for an intimate dinner reception. I had snapped a few day time detail photos of the tropically set dinner table. The night time photos came out beautiful as well.

Katie and Jeremy cut their cake, and shared in a first dance. After that the garter was in place and ready to go. Katie and the best man were going to play a trick on Jeremy and have him search for the garter blind folded, but on the best man's leg instead of Katie's. Jeremy somehow discovered what was going on and so luckily for him he only went searching on his wife's leg.

After all the traditions were over with the couple revealed the big surprise to their parents. The couple stood facing them all, holding little onsies behind their backs. Once revealed it took a split second for everyone to realize that they were showing and telling them. Everyone was surprised and had even more to celebrate that night.
