Thomas & Qian's Classy Wedding at Punto de Vista

4/8/2016

Thomas and Qian traveled to Costa Rica from New York City to marry one another. A small group of close family and friends were there to witness and celebrate with the couple. Thomas and Qian chose Punto de Vista as their venue, a luxury villa located in Manuel Antonio. The villa boasts 5 stories and includes a formal ballroom and a beautiful terrace that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and National Park. 

Thomas and Qian are both doctors. I really enjoy photographing weddings of young professionals. It is so great getting to see such educated people loosen up and have a good time. 

The day began with Qian and her girlfriends getting ready. Qian has such a classic beauty about her, and her hair and makeup that day complimented that look perfectly.

Thomas and his groomsmen were hanging out and getting ready in the billiards room. I loved the blue suits that the group wore for the wedding day.

The ceremony was held on the rooftop deck, a perfect spot for an intimate wedding. Large jungle leaves and tropical flowers lined the aisle.

After the ceremony family and bridal party photos were taken on the 4th floor of the villa. The couple joined in for the cocktail hour before heading down to the beach for portraits.

We ended the portrait session with the photo below. I just LOVE it. We took so many beautiful, romantic, soft images, and then this photo. It just shows how fun Qian and Thomas are, and that they don't take themselves too seriously.

Karen Ogden, from Tropical Occasions, used her magic wand to transform the rooftop deck from the ceremony space to a stunning dinner reception. Honestly she must have some magic to make it look this beautiful in just the hour we are gone taking photos.

After dinner and cutting the cake the party headed downstairs to the ballroom where Qian and Thomas shared their first dance.

Qian's friends surprised her with a flash mob dance. I am not sure how they pulled this off, as every single person at the wedding, including the groom, knew the rehearsed dance. It was truly an awesome surprise for the beautiful bride.
