Natalia + Ryan's Big Wedding Bash at Costa Verde Hotel

1/5/2016

Natalia and Ryan traveled from Arizona with friends and family to celebrate their marriage in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Ryan had been to Costa Rica a few times and with Natalia's spirit for adventure it was an easy decision to marry here. They tied the knot at Costa Verde Hotel, on the brand new wedding deck there where the sky and ocean meet. They partied it up at La Cantina Restaurant, where they had the whole bottom floor to themselves. Needless to say, this group knew how to have fun, and it definitely came through in the photos.

This wedding was a last minute one for me, as I was filling in for another photographer who suddenly fell ill. Because of this I really didn't know the couple, or had a chance to communicate with them beforehand. But really, it didn't matter. Natalia and Ryan were so easy going and easy to get along with, it all worked out perfectly. 

I started the day with Natalia getting ready. Her bridesmaids, both mothers and her grandma were all there as well.

The ceremony, like I said, was held on the new wedding deck at Costa Verde. This was my first time shooting on wedding on the deck and it was just awesome! You feel as if you are at the beach, but with more privacy and without the sand getting stuck in your dress shoes. The deck floats out of the mountain and has views of the ocean almost every way you look.

After the ceremony the bride, groom, wedding party and family headed down to the beach for photos. I always encourage couples to go to the beach for pictures, if you travel all the way to Costa Rica to get married you must take advantage of the beautiful beach for a background!
