Costa Rica Wedding Photography Packages
Planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica already comes with enough moving parts.
Travel logistics, unfamiliar vendors, time zones, and a place you may not know yet.
Your photography shouldn’t add stress to that.
That’s why my packages are built around clarity and calm, not hourly limits or hidden costs.
- No surprise fees
- No clock-watching
- No wondering if you booked “enough hours”
Just complete, honest coverage of your day as it naturally unfolds.
A Different Way to Think About Coverage
Most photographers sell hours.
Six. Eight. Ten.
I don’t.
Your wedding doesn’t happen in fixed blocks, and your photography shouldn’t feel like a meter running in the background.
- Coverage adapts to your day, not the other way around
- No pressure if things run late or shift
- A calmer experience where you stay present
This matters even more in Costa Rica, where light, weather, and timing are always changing.
Why Couples Choose This Approach
After 15+ years and 300+ weddings, most couples tell me the same thing:
It wasn’t just the photos.
It was how easy everything felt.
They could relax, be themselves, and trust the process.
If you’re looking for something natural, without pressure or performance, we’ll likely work very well together.

What Your Wedding Day Feels Like
What It Feels Like to Be Photographed This Way
One thing couples often tell me after their wedding is simple:
“I didn’t feel photographed. I just felt present.”
That’s intentional.
Getting Ready
I arrive quietly and document what’s already happening, the anticipation, the atmosphere, the small moments you don’t notice. Nothing is staged or repeated.
The Ceremony
I move with intention and stay out of the way. Your guests experience the moment fully, and your photos reflect it exactly as it felt.
Portraits (20–30 minutes)
This isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a pause in the day.
We walk, talk, and let everything settle. I guide you with light and positioning, then step back so your connection leads.
The Reception
I follow the energy of the room. No interruptions, no pulling you away. Just honest moments as they unfold.
Throughout the Day
You stay present. I take care of the rest.
Most couples tell me afterward they barely noticed me, and later realized everything was captured.
That balance comes from experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel anywhere in Costa Rica?
Yes. Travel across all of Costa Rica is included in every package. No additional fees.
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
Almost every couple says this at first. You don’t need to know how to pose. I guide you naturally so you can just be yourselves. Most people forget the camera is there within minutes.
What happens if something unexpected happens?
You’re covered. I work with a small group of trusted photographers in Costa Rica. In the rare case of an emergency, you’ll be fully supported with a seamless backup plan.
Do you help with timeline planning?
Yes. I help you build a timeline around light, location, and flow so the day feels natural and relaxed.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payments can be split in a way that fits your planning process.
Can we see full wedding galleries?
Absolutely. I’ll share complete galleries during our consultation so you can see how a full day is documented from start to finish.
One Final Thought Before You Decide
You don’t need to choose the “perfect” package.
Every collection is designed to document your wedding fully and honestly. The difference is simply how much of your story you want captured.
If you’re not sure which option fits best, that’s completely normal.
That’s exactly what the consultation is for.
I’ll help you figure out what actually makes sense for your day, without pressure or upselling.
If you value honest coverage, calm guidance, and a photography experience that feels natural rather than staged, we’ll likely work very well together.
I take a limited number of weddings each year to stay fully present for each couple.
