Nicole and Chuck's Tropical Costa Rican Wedding

Chuck and Nicole traveled from Minnesota to marry one another in tropical Costa Rica. They decided on Costa Verde Hotel for their wedding venue because of the jungle like grounds and beautiful ocean views. An intimate ceremony was held on a grassy hilltop overlooking the warm Pacific waters. Afterwards, a dinner reception took place in La Cantina restaurant, one of Costa Verde's 4 restaurants. 

Nicole was getting ready with her mom and bridesmaids. She was calm, cool and collected and just enjoying being pampered. Her dress was a slim fitted with lots of delicate lace patterns, it looked beautiful on her and had a stunning train. 

Chuck got dressed adjacent to where the ceremony was taking place. His father and best man joined him. He sported a really nice pair of suspenders that were custom made for his wedding day. 

An intimate ceremony was set on the grassy knoll at Costa Verde. In the distance guests could enjoy the view of the ocean and islands. Tropical flowers adorned the arch where Nicole and Chuck said their vows to one another.

After the couple was pronounced husband and wife we headed towards the beach for portraits. We grabbed a few photos on the jungle pathways of Costa Verde just for good measure.

With a small wedding group Nicole and Chuck were really able to enjoy and relax at the laid back reception. They still included all of the normal traditions, but the evening really had this nice easy going feel to it.
