Shaunessy and Alec traveled with a close group of family and friends to marry one another in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. They wanted the event to be easy going and fun, just like the two of them. The group all stayed near to one another in rental houses all in the Manuel Antonio Estates Property, allowing frequent pool parties and get togethers to happen throughout the week. 
​
The day started with Alec and his friends making some pre-ceremony celebratory toasts. Alec chose to honor his Scottish heritage by wearing a formal kilt, complete with a traditional dagger which is called a sgian-dubh.

​Shaunessy was getting ready with her mom, her sister and a few of her friends. She didn't need to do much to look absolutely stunning, as her natural beauty shone right through.

The ceremony was held in the garden area of the Manuel Antonio Estates Spa. Shaunessy and Alec asked for the guests to form a big circle around the couple as they exchanges their vows to one another.

Alec and Shaunessy really wanted to spend as much time enjoying their wedding day as they possibly could. In light of that they had decided to go to the beach the evening before their wedding, to take portraits so that they wouldn't have to leave the wedding for photos. It worked out really well as the wedding day was just relaxed as could be.

We took just a few portraits on the wedding day as well, for good measure.

A large empty room upstairs from the spa was transformed into a beautiful tropical reception.

The newlyweds were warmly welcomed into the party, and everyone feasted on a potluck meal lovingly prepared by the whole group. Many toasts were made in honor of Shaunessy and Alec, and it was no surprise the number of nice things that people had to say about these two.
