I just wanted to share this little piece of blog love. Nina + Gorka's Mal Pais wedding (coming soon to this blog) was featured on Style Me Pretty today. If you haven't been over to that site yet and are planning a wedding, I highly recommend it for volumes of wedding inspiration. Anyway, please check it out by clicking on the image:

I love it when couples decide to do Day After or Trash the Dress sessions (or in this case, a combination of the two). Even though the weather was kind of crappy, we had a good time exploring the area surrounding Playa Chiquita looking for some cool jungle-y spots for cool photos. And since we got to know each other a bit outside the context of the wedding day, Emily + Jeff are now among the few clients who have seen me drive, drink (not at the same time), and hang out with my family. Good times. Thanks, guys, I hope you make it back to CR soon.

The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is often neglected as a destination for weddings, but it shouldn't be. Emily + Jeff are definitely brave for choosing the wetter side of the country for their wedding, but a little rain couldn't take away from the awesome, laid back atmosphere of Playa Cocles, near Puerto Viejo. Definitely my new favorite destination in Costa Rica.

A quick trip to disney

julie comfort — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:32:19 +0000

Disney World was not our first choice for our family vacation destination, but when JetBlue started service from San Jose to Orlando for $99 each way, it seemed like our best bet. I spent a lot of time there as a kid, and was kind of excited about taking Tully there. I was a bit disappointed, however, when I realized that nothing has changed at the Magic Kingdom in the 15 years since I was last there. It was actually kind of sad. And, unlike the commercials, Tully did not have that wide-eyed wonderment we hoped for, but rather a mildly amused curiosity mixed with long periods of detached boredom. On the other hand, Epcot was still fresh and far less crowded, so we probably enjoyed our time there the most. Other highlights of our time in Orlando included a fun night out with Joi and Mark of Pennington Photography, a couple visits to a fully stocked American supermarket, and spending time with three out of four of our parents. All in all, a fun time, but at the end we were really happy to return home to Costa Rica.

This was a phenomenally stunning wedding, and one that I had been looking forward to for a long time. I was lucky enough to have the talented Ale Sura shooting with me, you can see more photos over on her blog. As per usual, here is a random selection of images from the day.

This was the last shot I captured of the night, and I think it pretty much sums up the kind of fun this crew was having...

Photo Auction for Haiti

julie comfort — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:45:54 +0000

I just wanted to share this great auction that's happeneing online right now to benefit the relief efforts in Haiti. You can get yourself an awesome limited edition photo print and support some wonderful charities at the same time. I think it's a great way to raise awareness and funds and I am super excited that the talented photographers of Switch Cities have decided to do this. I hope people will recognize the gravity of the situation and bid what they can for a critical cause. We are bidding on a few images, and Joe and I are looking into other ways we can help as well. Our hearts go out to the people in Haiti, with a particular soft spot for the children. If you've been looking for a way to get involved, even in a small way, please check it out. But hurry up, the auction ends tomorrow.

As luck would have it, I was already planning on being in Santa Teresa when these guys booked me for the 2nd. If the first wedding of the year is any indication of the season to come, it's gonna be a good one. This was really fun, warm, and beautiful. Nice folks, good vibes, and a gorgeous sunset. 2010 is off to a great start.

A very good ending to a very great year. Renee and Ben met in my home town of Montclair, NJ, so it felt meant to be that they found me. I had so much fun at this very intimate wedding (only four guests!). Here are a few moments from their wedding day:

Weddings like this only happen once in a blue moon. OK, that was corny. But it was lovely. Happy New Year, everyone. And Pura Vida.
