Shooting a three year old with a manual-focus lens is surprisingly challenging actually.

Katherine + Geoff. Zephyr Palace, Costa Rica Wedding.

Katherine and Geoff have one of the most romantic stories I have heard. It took them 25 years to get to this day, but they both seemed to know all along it would come. So incredibly touching, fun, and beautiful.

Shira + Richie. Osa, Costa Rica Wedding

First off, a few from the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding:

And onto a few from the wedding... Osa is pretty much the most remote corner of Costa Rica and it takes a fun, adventerous couple and an intrepid planner to pull off a wedding this awesome. This view pretty much makes you forget you just drove down the scariest road in Central America:

Emily + Scott. Hacienda Pinilla, Costa Rica Wedding.

This wedding completely caught me off guard. I didn't get a chance to really get to know Emily and Scott before their wedding day so I had no idea what to expect, but these guys just blew me away. It's times like this that words just fail me, so hopefully the photos tell the story, but I will add that evenings like these are the reason I wear waterproof mascara.

Natalie + Eric. Reserva Conchal, Costa Rica Wedding.

A few favorites from Natalie and Eric's awesome wedding. It rained quite a bit before and during the ceremony, but when it stopped, the sky looked amazing and we had the beach all to ourselves. It was so pink and hazy it was almost surreal. One of the most colorful weddings I have seen, and I LOVE color.

Jodi + Rich. Avondale, Pennsylvania Wedding.

I knew about a year in advance that this wedding was going to be awesome, because I met these guys at another awesome wedding I shot last year. I was so so flattered when Jodi + Rich asked me to come all the way from Costa Rica to shoot their wedding in PA. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces there, and great to be back "home" for a few days. Everything was beautiful and full of love and I felt very luck to be a part of it.

One thing I totally forgot about East Coast summers is that it doesn't get dark until, like, 9 o'clock at night. Considering it gets dark here every day at 6 on the dot, all year long, it was really funny to me that I had to wait until I was leaving to get these next two shots.

Thanks, guys, for a wonderful evening, it was so wonderful to see you again. Pura vida.

Irina + Robb. Nosara, Costa Rica Wedding.

I was so excited when Irina and Robb first contacted me and told me they were getting married in Nosara, because it is by far one of my favorite places in Costa Rica and the first town we lived in when we first arrived here two years ago. This wedding turned out perfectly in every possible way. The whole week was stormy, but these guys lucked out with perfect weather. I think it's obvious they are so in love, have amazing taste, and know how to throw a beach wedding.

Mande + Joe. Santa Teresa, Costa Rica Wedding

julie comfort — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:00:13 +0000

Running off to Costa Rica with just a few friends as witnesses is pretty much the most romantic thing ever. This couple was so lovely and never stopped smiling the whole afternoon.

Venues: Latitude 10 and Milarepa
