Anais + Chris

The third trip was the charm. The first time Anais and Chris came to Costa Rica, they traveled as friends together with a friend group. The second they came as boyfriend and girlfriend. And on the third, overlooking the cloud forest in Costa Rica, Chris knew the moment was perfect to ask Anais to marry him. The sun was starting to set and Anais enthusiastically said yes.

And that’s where there story crosses paths with mine. With their third time a charm luck, Anais emailed to see if I happened to have last minute availability for golden hour engagement photos on the beach in Tamarindo. And as luck would have it, I just so happened to have an opening in my schedule that aligned with their travel plans. Serendipitous!

From dancing under palm trees to playing in the ocean, the love and happiness that radiated from Anais and Chris during their engagement photos in Tamarindo was magnetic. They effortlessly are in sync and a dream to photograph together.

Thank you Anais and Chris for asking me to capture such a special moment in your story!

As a California girl, Elizabeth loves the beach and loves to surf even more. So when we first chatted after Elizabeth’s senior photos in Tamarindo, we both agreed that 100% the beach was the perfect place to take her photos and we had to do photos with a surfboard too!
