© 2024 C0STA RICA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Real Costa Rica Weddings, Documentary Style
Every gallery here is a real Costa Rica wedding or elopement, photographed and filmed by our in-house team. We shoot documentary-style: candid moments, natural light, and the wild backdrops that make this country unforgettable, from Guanacaste beaches and Papagayo resorts to Manuel Antonio jungle and the waterfalls of La Fortuna. Because we cover both photography and video under one roof, one team captures your whole day in stills and motion, so nothing gets missed and the story stays consistent.
We are a bilingual (English and Spanish) photo and video team based in Costa Rica, and Junebug Weddings’ most-featured wedding team in the country. If you see a venue or a mood here that feels like yours, we would love to hear your story and how you imagine the day. Pura Vida.
What You Will See in Our Costa Rica Wedding Photographer Portfolio
A portfolio should show you how a photographer actually works, not just their ten best frames. Therefore we publish full galleries rather than a highlight reel, because the quiet moments between the big ones are usually the images couples keep longest.
Real weddings, start to finish
Most of the work here comes from full wedding days across Guanacaste, the Central Valley, and the Pacific coast. Specifically, you will see getting ready, ceremonies in hard midday light, portraits at sunset, and parties that ran late. As a result, you can judge how we handle the conditions your own day will actually have.
Weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions
The portfolio mixes full weddings with elopements and engagement sessions, because each calls for different pacing. For instance, an elopement gives us hours to explore a beach or a waterfall, while a 120 guest wedding is a tighter and faster day. Consequently the images from each look distinct on purpose.
Photo and film from one team
Because we shoot both stills and film in-house, the galleries and the films share one look. Meanwhile neither side has to fight for position on the aisle, which keeps the day calm for you and for your guests.
Bilingual and based here
We are a four-person team based in Guanacaste and Costa Rica’s Central Valley, and we answer in English or Spanish. Because we live here, we know which beaches face the sunset and how long the transfer from Liberia airport really takes. That local knowledge shows up in the timing of these photos.
How to Use This Portfolio
Look for weddings at venues similar to yours, and at the same time of year. In addition, pay attention to the light, since a February beach ceremony and a September garden ceremony look nothing alike. If you want to see a complete gallery from a specific venue, simply ask and we will send one.
If the work here feels like yours, we would love to hear about your wedding. Tell us your date and your venue and we will confirm availability. Photography collections start at $2,680, and travel and lodging within Costa Rica and Nicaragua are included. Across 26 combined years we have photographed and filmed more than 700 destination weddings.
If something here looks like your day, tell us about it on our contact page, or read what each collection includes under services. For help choosing a region, the official Costa Rica tourism site is a useful starting point.
