destination tropical wedding in tamarindo costA Rica

Jenny + Karl

There’s just something special about witnessing two of your friends get married, and it’s even more specially when you get to capture that special day for them. I first met Karl a couple of years ago through a mutual surf friend, and every time Karl was able to hop down to CR from Canada, we always were out in the water surfing. And over those countless hours in the water together, we talked about Karl’s desire to find an amazing partner and have a beautiful family. If you know Karl, you know that he sets his heart on, he will for sure knock it out of the park.

Enter Jenny, a stunning and vivacious blonde. From the moment I saw Karl with Jenny, I just had this feeling that she was it for Karl. Then baby Vera cake along, followed by Luca, and I was just so happy for my friend Karl who had found his girl and had two adorable babies. So   what was next for Karl? To make it official official with a destination tropical wedding in Costa Rica, a place Karl holds near + dear to his heart?

Congrats you two!

But when I do have the opportunity to work with a returning family client, it melts my heart that they ask me again to capture their precious family moments — and I also love seeing how much the kiddies have grown! Three and a half years ago I had the privilige to photograph six month old Señorita Bryson…
