Kellie + Bryan Take the Plunge, La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Kellie and Bryan wanted to do something that completely represented them as a couple for their wedding, so they went on a adventure to Costa Rica, hiked down a steep mountain and married one another in front of a thundering waterfall. The vastness of the rock cliff in the photo above shows only a glimpse of the immense jungle they were married in.

When I first met Kellie is was like we had known each other for years. Kellie, myself and the wedding planner were just chatting it up, as if we were on some sort of ladies reunion. It continued throughout the day and was as if we were all just hanging out and hiking a mountain together. Both Kellie and Bryan have a way of making people feel good, feel welcomed and feel important.

Kellie was so excited she could hardly contain herself. From the getting ready photos I have a handful of images of her just about to burst with excitement. It was so sweet to see just how ready she was to marry the man of her dreams.

Bryan was patiently waiting for his beautiful bride to reveal herself. His reaction was nothing short of perfect, the type of reaction every bride wants from a first look. I could almost read his lips as he turned around and was blown away by Kellie's beauty.

After the first look we all headed toward La Fortuna Waterfall. The hike down to the fall is not to be taken lightly, and Kellie gracefully made her way down in her floor length dress. The ceremony took place on a private wooden deck, only feet away from the waterfall.

After the ceremony we took photos around the waterfall and jungle.

There was school group of kids who were touring the waterfall area. Kellie thought it would be fun to throw her bouquet to the girls. Interestingly enough, about a week from Kellie and Bryan's wedding, I took a flight back home and the entire school group was on my flight. I reminisced with the teacher who caught the bouquet.

When I said Kellie and Bryan took the plunge, I wasn't only using it as a figure of speech. The couple waded into the cool river waters for some romantic trash the dress-style photos.
