Elopement Packages Built Around Experience, Not Hours

Planning an elopement in Costa Rica from abroad can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s why every package is designed as a complete, all-inclusive experience, not a set number of hours.

You’re not booking time. You’re choosing how your day unfolds.

Whether you want a full-day adventure across multiple locations or a simple, focused ceremony in one place, everything is built to adapt to real conditions, not force your elopement into a rigid timeline.

What this means for you:

  • No clock pressure or rushed moments
  • No hidden costs or unexpected add-ons
  • Full planning guidance from start to finish
  • A day that flows naturally around light, weather, and your pace

Show up, be present, and enjoy the experience. I’ll take care of the rest.

Elopement Video Included in Full-Day Experiences

Your day, not just in photos, but in motion.

Alongside photography, I quietly document parts of your elopement on video to create a short cinematic highlight, without turning the day into a production.

What this looks like:

  • A short, documentary-style highlight film
  • Real moments, natural sound, and atmosphere
  • Clips from your ceremony, exploration, and in-between moments
  • A film designed to complement your photos, not replace them

Most couples love having a way to relive the feeling of the day and share it with family and friends who weren’t there.

Half-Day or Full-Day Elopement?

Most Costa Rica elopements fall into one of two approaches, depending on how much time, flexibility, and experience you want from your day.

Full-Day Elopements in Costa Rica

For couples who want the day to feel like an experience, not just a ceremony.

  • Multiple locations (waterfall, jungle, beach, or volcano)
  • Time to move slowly without rushing
  • Space for real moments, breaks, and spontaneity
  • A complete story from morning to sunset

This is how most couples imagine their elopement when they first start planning.

Imagine starting the morning in the mist of a cloud forest, exchanging vows beside a waterfall, and ending the day barefoot on a Pacific beach as the sun disappears into the ocean.

Half-Day Elopements in Costa Rica

For couples who want something simple, focused, and intentional.

  • One meaningful location
  • Sunrise or sunset ceremony
  • Just the essentials, without rushing
  • A relaxed, intimate pace

Half-day elopements work beautifully when you already know exactly where and how you want to get married.

If you’re unsure, most couples choose a full-day experience once they realize how much more space it gives them to actually enjoy Costa Rica rather than just passing through it.

That said, there’s no wrong choice here, just the one that fits how you want your day to feel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Costa Rica Elopement Packages

 

How far in advance should we book our elopement?

Most couples book between 6 and 12 months in advance, especially for full-day experiences or popular locations.
If your plans are flexible, shorter timelines can still work, particularly for intimate or half-day elopements.

Do you help us choose the location?

Yes. Once I understand what you’re drawn to, I recommend locations based on scenery, accessibility, season, and light.
This is especially helpful if you’re planning from abroad and don’t know Costa Rica yet.

Are permits included in the packages?

Yes. I handle the process and include my permit coordination in the package.
Any official park or government fees are always discussed in advance so there are no surprises.

What happens if it rains?

Rain is part of Costa Rica, especially in green season.
I plan timelines with flexibility built in, and we adapt as needed. Some of the most atmospheric and emotional elopements happen in these conditions.

Can we include family or friends?

Absolutely. Most elopements include anywhere from just the two of you up to around 20 guests.
I help you choose locations and timelines that feel comfortable for your group.

We’re awkward in photos… is that a problem?

Not at all. Almost every couple says this at first.
There’s no stiff posing or forced moments, just simple guidance so you can interact naturally and forget about the camera.

What’s the next step if we want to move forward?

The next step is a quick consultation call.
We talk through your ideas, answer your questions, and see if everything feels like a good fit, no pressure, no commitment.

Ready to Plan Your Costa Rica Elopement?

Most couples who reach out don’t have everything figured out yet.
You might have a rough date, a place in mind, or just a feeling that Costa Rica is where this should happen.

That’s enough to start.

My role is to help you turn that idea into a clear, grounded plan and document the experience as it naturally unfolds.

If you’re looking for a Costa Rica elopement photographer who understands the country, the light, and how these days actually work, I’d love to hear what you’re imagining.

No pressure. No sales calls. Just a simple conversation to see if it feels right.
