Maddie + Jake
Maddie first met Jake at work. At first they were just friends working at a super fun beverage distributor in Seattle, and then their friendship evolved into a relationship. And after Jake proposed to Maddie + their families decided to do a joint family vacation in Costa Rica to celebrate thier parents’ birthdays, Maddie of course could not pass up doing engagement photos in Tamarindo Beach! Despite rainy season starting a little earlier this year in early April, the weather stayed beautiful for one gorgeous afternoon of engagement photos on the beach!
Congrats you two — have a beautiful wedding on New Year’s Eve!
Pura Vida,
Kristen

Dear Nikon
Dear Nikon, My name is Kristen and I live in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. I am a dreamer and a doer. I love to dance with waves {surf}, chase sunsets, stand on my head, and laugh my butt off. I am also head-over-heels in love with taking photographs with my Nikon DSLR...
