Elopement Photography
Elopement on the beach in

Amanda + Adam
You know the classic story “a girl walks into a bar”?
Well, six years ago Adam just so happened to look across the bar right at a smiling Amanda. Adam was instantly intrigued by Amanda´s radiating smile. Except for he was a little shy to make the first move. A little later in the night, Adam just so happened to be at the bar right next to Amanda. And that’s when Amanda made the first move.
“I feel like I know you from somewhere,” Amanda asked Adam. Adam replied that he didn’t think so, but he secretly was excited that this gorgeous girl Amanda had started the conversation.
So now you know another beautiful version of “a girl walks into a bar”, and this story happens to continue to one magical elopement on the beach in Playa Langosta at Cala Luna Boutique Hotel this past week. And coincidentally enough, I just so happened to photograph Amanda + Adam’s friends Becca + Tyler’s wedding at Langosta Beach Club a couple of months ago!
Congrats you two!

Playing on the Beach in Tamarindo || Hern Family
The majority of family vacations in Costa Rica typically are for one week. But, there is so much to do and see in Pura Vidadise that the time goes by so fast. My first week long trip to Costa Rica, I definitely felt like I didn’t have enough time, so my second trip I booked for 10 days. And then my third trip…well I ended up packing up my NYC apartment and hopped a flight to Costa Rica for however long I wanted to!!!
Family Vacation Beach Photos in Costa Rica || Pusch Family
The month of November by far is my favorite month in Costa Rica. The earth is super lush and green from six months of rainy season and the temperatures “cooler”, but with the beautiful weather of dry season. And having been away from Pura Vidadise for 8 months thanks to the ‘Rona, it felt good to arrive back during my favorite month. And to top that off, what better way to get back into the photography swing than with some of the most fun clients?!
Historic Savannah Georgia Family Photos || Daughtrey Family
One of the things I love the most about being a photographer in Savannah, Georgia is that there is so many different, beautiful places to photograph. You can go from historic downtown Savannah, the beach on Tybee Island, majestic Oak lined nature trails, to picturesque marsh views. No wonder the Daughtrey Family had a hard time picking…
