Elope in Costa Rica || Alice + Ryan:

Ahhhhh, Costa Rica. It’s a place that always has you coming back to explore even more. And Tamarindo, Costa Rica just so happens to be one of Alice + Ryan’s favorite places. So when Ryan proposed to Alice, wanting to bypass the craziness of planning a wedding, they knew it was perfect to elope in Costa Rica. Flying into San Jose, the couple slowly made their way to Tamarindo, exploring the Costa Rican rainforest before making it down to the beach.

After a perfect morning spent surfing and relaxing on the beach in Tamarindo, Alice and Ryan ventured down a hidden beach path that afternoon to symbolically say their “I-Dos” and exchange rings. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect, with the soft light of the late afternoon sun and peacefulness of a quiet beach at low tide. After exchanging rings, I took Alice + Ryan to my favorite lookout in Tamarindo, with beautiful views of Costa Rica’s mountains and the Pacific Ocean. And as the sunset started to light up the sky in a pretty pink, we made it back down to the beach by the Tamarindo estuary. Congrats you two!
