Planning a wedding in Costa Rica?
Before you start booking vendors, use this free budget tracker to get a clearer idea of what your wedding could realistically cost. Enter your guest count, set your overall budget, and adjust each category to see where your money is going. It also helps you account for Costa Rica-specific costs like IVA, service charges and vendor travel, so there are fewer surprises later.

Costa Rica Taxes & Additional Costs
These costs do not automatically get added to your wedding budget. Instead, use this section to check whether they are already included in your vendor quotes.

If you’d like to keep a more detailed record as you plan, you can also download the Costa Rica Wedding Budget Tracker spreadsheet. Use the interactive tracker above to get a quick picture of your budget, then use the spreadsheet to keep track of quotes, payments, and actual spending throughout the planning process.
You’ve got the budget. Now let’s make sure the memories are covered.
Your flowers will fade, dinner will be eaten, and the party will eventually end. Your photographs are what bring you back to the people, the place, and how it all felt.
If you’re planning a Costa Rica wedding and want photography that feels natural, thoughtful and true to the day rather than a collection of forced poses, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
As a bonus for couples who book their wedding photography with me, I’ll include a complimentary pre- or post-wedding mini session in Costa Rica. It can be a relaxed adventure, a beach session, or simply time together somewhere meaningful, without the pressure of the wedding day.
Tell me about your wedding and let’s see what makes sense for you.
Christopher was amazing!! Everything he planned and all the photos he took turned out amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and we got our photos back super quickly!
Chris was an incredible photographer/person who made us feel super comfortable and took amazing engagement photos for us. He captured everything beautifully and was extremely flexible. Best photographer in Costa Rica!
Highly recommend Crissorama! He went above and beyond while helping to plan my surprise proposal and did an amazing job capturing the moment. I was a first time tourist to Costa Rica, so he suggested multiple scenic locations/hidden gems and even called several on my behalf to make sure all my questions were answered. He was incredibly responsive, flexible, and truly talented with a camera. Thanks Christopher!
