sunrise beach engagement photos in Tamarindo
Sintha + Vinny
Dating apps can get a bad rap. But then there are dating app couples like Sintha and Vinny who just make you smile when you hear their stories. You see, Sintha wasn’t even on Tinder a week before she met Vinny…yes the quote on quote “hookup app” Tinder! It didn’t take Vinny too long to take Sintha and himself off of Tinder and become a couple. Three years and many travel adventures later, SIntha and Vinny landed in Costa Rica. As part of the trip, Sintha wanted to do beach photos with Vinny, so she planned a session with yours truly. What Sintha didn’t know is that Vinny had other plans for this shoot…other plans as in the night before their sunrise beach photos in Tamarindo, Vinny messaged me letting me know he was going to propose to Sintha! The early morning lighting and sunrise sky couldn’t have been more magical for what was about to unfold — as the full moon was starting to set over the ocean, with the sunrise sky a pastel pink, Vinny dropped to one knee on the beach and popped the question to Sintha. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful, and Sintha’s red dress was perfect for the couple’s sunrise beach engagement photos in Tamarindo. Congrats you two!

Pura Vida,
Kristen

Tamarindo, Costa Rica Honeymoon Photos: Melissa & Francis
