Costa Rica Weddings / Noelle & Will at Reserva Conchal Beach Club

I think there is a reason for everything that happens in our lives. I had just hired our wonderful wedding photographer a few months back when she reached out to me and told me she was thinking of coming to Costa Rica, and asked if I would be interested in doing a shoot together... At that time, Noelle & Will were looking a for a photographer.... and Les Amis Photo was just the right style they were looking for. So that is how a lovely Italian photographer came to shoot a wedding for US clients in Costa Rica. Things always happen for a reason (and you will get the chance to see more of Les Amis' FABULOUS work here in the near future)!!!

We had such a great time helping Noelle and Will plan their wedding. The ceremony was officiated by Will's brother, and it was truly one of those tear-jerker but also quite funny ceremonies that guest will remember forever.  A truly lovely couple (Noelle is a stunner, and quite stylish too.. we all just LOVED her electric blue shoes), their wedding was just the right amount of rustic simplicity with a classical touch, incorporating whites and pinks with a little pop of darker hues here and there to just catch the eye in the perfect way.

I am sharing a few of the lovely photos but we are happy to have had this wedding featured on Aisle Planner and Brides Without Borders (click on the buttons below to check out the features).

Costa Rica Weddings / Grace & Stephen at El Mangroove

And to start of the week, here is another lovely El Mangroove wedding! Grace and Stephen were well into their planning process when they decided to enlist our help. They had already secured some fabulous vendors such as Jonathan Yonkers and Artflower, and I was more than happy to help them make their dream day a reality!

Grace and Stephen were quite the fun  couple with a love for gummy bears (their "table numbers" were giant light up gummy bears) and dancing (their first dance was quite a feat!). They wanted their wedding to be lots of fun (and it certainly was) and have a classical elegance with a funky edge (enter light up gummy bears!!).... And I would say they nailed it!
