Engagement Photos in
playa guiones CostA Rica

Trixee + Chris

Five years ago Trixee and Chris met at work. Little did they know then that a work friendship would lead to an engagement and wedding in Trixee’s home island state of Hawaii next year. So with a planned trip to Costa Rica, what better place (besides Hawaii that is!) to do engagement photos for their Hawaii wedding announcement? I know, I know…you can’t go wrong with engagement photos in Playa Guiones Costa Rica orrrrrr in Hawaii!

I met up with Trixee + Chris at Mona Surf Resort in Nosara just as they were fresh off of their road trip up from Santa Teresa…a sketchy river crossing and flat tire included. (We call that the full Costa Rica road trip experience! 🙈) And even though the couple had an adventurous drive, Trixee + Chris were all smiles throughout their engagement photo session, laughing and just radiating with love for each other. Congrats you two!!!

As a destination family photographer in Costa Rica, I don’t often have the opportunity to work with families year after year, capturing their family photos. 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…
