Missy and Ben's Beach Wedding in Jaco, Costa Rica

 Missy and Ben hosted a beautiful wedding at a beach front vacation house in Jaco. I was so surprised when I showed up at the house, because I had never bee to that far end of the beach and it was just beautiful! The house sits directly on the beach, which made the access extremely easy. It also allowed for them to have their dinner reception on the beach which was so intimate and romantic. 

Missy was getting ready when I arrived and was sweet as can be. Her bridesmaids and both moms were also there. The weather was great with blue skies and all, which was awesome as it had been a bit rainy a few days before.

Ben and his groomsmen were getting ready downstairs and doing fireball shots together to celebrate. I was only with them for a short amount of time, but in just those few minutes I could tell they were a fun group.

A beautiful ceremony was setup just in front of the house. Pale colored roses and beautiful succulents adorned the corner of the arch. The eucalyptus smelt wonderful! Missy left an empty chair in the front row with a rose and photo, to honor her deceased father. It was such a unique and touching way to honor him. 

Everything aligned perfectly just before the ceremony started. The sun was blazing hot, but right before it moved behind a cloud and stayed there for the whole ceremony, creating beautiful soft light for the photos. Also, just as the musicians began to play, a pair of scarlet macaws (who mate for life) flew over the ceremony area. I don't think there is a better omen than that.

After the ceremony we took photos with the family and bridal party. We then walked down the beach towards the rocky edge which made for beautiful photos of the newlyweds.

The sun made its dramatic exit just as we finished up the portrait session.

Like I mentioned earlier the reception was set directly on the beach. It was beautiful and perfect for Missy and Ben's close group of family and friends.
