Elopement on the Beach in Tamarindo CostA Rica
Lora + John
From the moment Lora met John online, she knew right away that John was the one. In her words, it was love at first sight. John on the other hand took some convincing. Both of them had been in prior marriages, so John took some convincing to venture into another relationship. But love knows how to find its way. Both of them have little girls, and their lives just just easily fit together. As their relationship grew, so did their love for one another, and they welcomed another baby girl. It all just felt so right. Almost a year after they welcomed their third baby girl into the world, Lora and John decided to make it official as husband and wife with an elopement on the beach in Tamarindo Costa Rica. Even though the rain teased with a downpour earlier in the day, the weather cleared up and Lora + John’s ceremony was simply beautiful. With two of their closest friends as witnesses, the couple exchanged their vows right on the shoreline with a romantic, tropical alter. Congrats you two!

A special thanks to the amazing Los Primos Designs for the beautiful altar setup + flowers!
Pura Vida,

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…
