Real Wedding - Jenny and Steven

A big Felicidades to Jenny and Steven who were married in the gardens at the Los Suenos Marriott in Playa Herradura on December 6! Lots of gorgeous details to this wedding, which had a mix of Jewish and Catholic traditions in the outdoor ceremony.

The ballroom was mesmerizing with tons of orchids, stunning lighting and lots of carefully thought-out touches throughout. Jenny is an event planner and her attention to detail ensured the day was perfectly gorgeous!

Costa Rica Name a BioGem!

Woo hoo! Costa Rica was named a BioGem of the World last week by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), in recognition of the country's efforts to protect the vast flora and fauna found in its tiny territory. This is outstanding as it is the first time an entire country has been given this designation (prior recipients have been national parks or reserves). BioGems is a worldwide initiative that has garnered support from over 400,000 activists. Each BioGem is an area that has an exceptional amount of biodiversity and endangered species within it.

How exciting for the land of Pura Vida!

Real Wedding - Carrie & John

Felicidades to Carrie and John, who married on Sunday, February 8 at the Tamarindo Diria. It was a fun, intimate wedding and the bride - stunning!! Nothing like a couture dress on a beautiful bride.

The day was perfect, with a gorgeous blue sky and just enough puffy white clouds to create a breathtaking sunset. Carrie spent a lot of time perfecting the details with me and the result was fabulous.

Big thanks to the wonderful Sean Davis at Lifetime Digital for his great shots.

Take a look...

Real Wedding Blogged - Lindsay & AJ

Thrilled to see Linday & AJs stylish wedding at Zephyr Palace, Villa Caletas, blogged today at Weddings Unveiled. 

It was a truly wonderful event and Lindsay was such a joy to work with as she had a strong idea of what she wanted but allowed me room for creative freedom. The result? I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves ;)

Earth Quake Relief in Costa Rica

As you may have heard, Costa Rica suffered a very devastating earthquake last Thursday at 1:21 PM around the Poas volcano, just outside of San Jose. Registering 6.2, it's left 18 dead, dozens missing and thousands homeless. Four villages, including the beautiful La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Peace Lodge Hotel, have been literally wiped off the face of the Earth. Sadly, this agricultural area is home to some of the most humble and poorest families in the land. They have lost everything and most do not have the benefit of insurance to help them rebuild their lives. 

Weddings Costa Rica, in addition to donating clothing, food and money through our employees and company, is also collecting donations of money which will be deposited to the Red Cross to help with the relief efforts. If you'd like to help, in whatever way you can big or small, please click on the PayPal button below, which will direct you to the account we've set up. Please be sure to include your address so we can send you a thank you card.

Many thanks for your support.
