Lovely Beach Wedding in Costa Rica
As told by the Photographer: Trisha and Cary are living proof that two worlds can collide slowly. Love isn’t always a whirlwind that comes through and sweeps you off your feet. Sometimes it’s a small flame that grows in the dark until it becomes stronger and more deeply passionate.
This radiant couple has known each other for 10 years. They finally began dating 5 years ago and now here they are, all dressed up and ready to say ‘I do’.
They had been to Costa Rica a couple years ago and absolutely loved their visit. After working with Susan La Reau the fabulous wedding planner and visiting Arenas del Mar, they knew this would be the perfect place to start their new adventure together.
To make their wedding even more memorable, Trisha and Cary had several special wedding details including beautiful agate stones with the names of their guests inscribed on them.
The written word was also an important element of their wedding. Not only did they have a special little wedding vow book, but also Trisha’s gift to Cary was a touching, handwritten book of all the reasons why she loves him. They also had their beautifully designed invitations on display.
For getting ready, the bridesmaids all had lovely, embroidered robes for before they donned their dresses. Plus, each wore a turquoise necklace.
I suppose that all brides love their dresses and accessories but Trisha was especially in love with her dress, tiara, and veil and wanted good photos to remember them by. So we had fun playing with her veil and getting some creative shots.
And check out her epic bouquet of flowers. Can anything be more lovely than that cascade of purple orchids?
During the ceremony, the couple opted for a sand ceremony, representing their two lives becoming one.
At the reception, you can see the fun they had with their huge, wedding cake shaped piñata! For this part, Trisha donned her traditional Vietnamese dress. This was more comfortable for dancing, whacking at that piñata, and all around enjoying herself.
