Colorful Garden Wedding / Sarah & Joey at El Mangroove

There is a bit of nostalgia in these posts of mine. It took me more than a year to get to sharing some of our 2020 weddings, not because they weren't worth sharing (au contraire!!), but because for someone in the celebration business, it has been tough to suddenly have to live in a world in which celebrations became a taboo.

Yes, things are slowly getting back to a semblance of normality (more in some places than others, but that is a whole different story) and I feel the need to go back to fun times and smiles, and beautiful couples sharing their love for each other with their nearest and dearest. After all, life is about living. I think the past 15 months have been a crash course in understanding that.

Which is why I am back to sharing the happy moments again. I hope that images of happy celebrations in Costa Rica inspire at least one person to enjoy the moment, to take a leap, to believe that we are the makers of our own happiness. I hope that Sarah & Joey’s colorful garden wedding makes you smile and dream.

Tropical Bohemian Beachfront Celebration / Liz & Pat at Sueno del Mar

Imagine renting out an intimate beachfront B&B with your closest friends and family. Imagine a beachfront ceremony, with the waves crashing behind you. Imagine dining under the trees and the stars, with love and laughter all around. Imagine.

Liz and Pat’s gorgeous wedding was one of the last ones we did in 2020, and I am so happy it happened when it did, because just looking at their photos, with all the smiles and the love and the gorgeous sunset glow… makes my heart sing. Hope it makes yours sing too.
