Costa Rica Elopement Galleries
Real Elopements photographed across Costa Rica and beyond
Elopement Galleries
These galleries feature real elopements in Costa Rica, photographed in rainforests, beaches, volcanoes, and remote corners of the country. Each story reflects a different way of choosing something personal and intentional, whether that means hiking at sunrise, exchanging vows barefoot on the coast, or keeping things simple and private.
This collection is meant to give you a feel for how an elopement can unfold and how I document it, quietly, honestly, and with a focus on connection rather than posing.
While Costa Rica is home base, many of these elopements are part of a larger destination journey, working with couples traveling from around the world and celebrating in places that feel meaningful to them.
