romantic proposal on the beach in
Tamarindo
CostA Rica

Katie + Brett

Katie + Brett first met at a music festival in Brett’s hometown of New Orleans. The two of them hit it off, and soon Brett was giving Katie the local New Orleans experience, as Katie was studying at Tulane. Five years later, Katie + Brett landed in Costa Rica for another music festival. They had a great time dancing the nights away, and on the last day of the festival, Brett had something very special planned. As the sun was starting to set, Brett led Katie down to the beach and asked her to spend forever with him. It was everything Katie had dreamed of and more — a romantic proposal on the beach in Tamarindo Costa Rica. 

Congrats you two!

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?!

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…
