Nick and Maya were married at the beautiful all inclusive Westin Resort on Playa Conchal. Playa Conchal is located in the northern part of Costa Rica. Maya travels for a living, so it was no surprise that her and Nick planned a destination wedding. An intimate group of about 20 friends and family joined the couple in celebrating this important step in their relationship.
The day started as usual with the girls getting ready. I had a second photographer working with me who took over getting photos of Nick getting ready.

Nick and Maya's reception was held in the Mangler room at the Westin. The room looked dreamy and delicate by day, but just wait until you see the beautiful night time photo, it is gorgeous!
While I was taking photos of Maya, Jorge, the second photographer, was able to get some photos of Nick preparing.
The ceremony was held in the most beautiful little cove of trees, looking out to the beach horizon that was spotted with small mountains in the distance. A beautiful aisle of ombre flower petals awaiting Maya.
After the ceremony we took family portraits. I stayed with the couple a little longer to take these beautiful newlywed portraits of the two of them.
People say it is good luck if it rains on your wedding day, but really no bride ever hopes for rain. During the beginning of the ceremony it began to sprinkle, just enough to bring out this beautiful rainbow for our portrait session. If that isn't a sign of good luck I don't know what is.
I gave Nick a little break and took some beautiful portraits of the bride by herself.
Jorge was able to run ahead and take this stunning photo of the reception room all lit up and ready for dinner.
The peony on this cake just amazed me, it was so detailled and so real looking, yet made of sugar. Speaking of sugar, the extensive dessert bar Nick and Maya had setup was impressive to say the least.
The couple made their entrance and the dinner began. Considering the small group that they had, their were quite a few speeches. I think that goes to show something about Nick and Maya.
