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!

Surfer Family Photos in Tamarindo || Casey Family

Costa Rica is one of the Casey family’s favorite places to visit, especially to surf. I first had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Casey’s in 2018. Two years later we planned on meeting up again on the beach in Tamarindo for surfer family photos, but that was March 2020 and COVID had other plans.
