Mellany + Niek's Beach-Side Wedding, Manuel Antonio

Mellany and Niek wanted to have a small, intimate wedding. They wanted to celebrate this most special moment in their lives among family and close friends. They traveled from the Netherlands all the way to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica to do this. They rented a large vacation villa called Casa de las brisas. This villa is perfect for wedding parties as their is enough space to have the reception at the villa.

The day started with Niek and his parents who were helping him prepare before the wedding. I love the color of his suit and shoes, something a little different than the normal sandy tones of beach weddings.

One of the really wonderful things about getting married in a villa or vacation home is that everything is within close proximity. For me it makes things so much easier, as I am able to pop back and fourth between the bride and groom's room as needed. I am also easily able to photograph beautiful daytime details of the reception area since it is all together in the same building.

The girls were all about having a little fun before the ceremony started.

Niek and Mellany decided to do a private first look before the ceremony. They sent all of their guests off to the beach in a shuttle and as soon as the house was empty they saw each other.

The ceremony was held on the Manuel Antonio Beach, under the shade of the palms.

Mellany did a second first look with her father before he walked her down the aisle, it was a very touching moment for the both of them.

The couple had a cake cutting and champagne toast on the beach before starting their family portraits. It was nice for everyone to immediately have something sweet to celebrate their marriage.
