Tropical Wedding in Tamarindo Costa Rica || Elana + Eric:

It all started over bikes and pizza. Eric was intrigued. So intrigued with adventurous and one heck of a cyclist Elana, that he asked her out on a second date. This time it was sushi. One thing led to another and soon Elana and Eric were a couple, sharing more bike rides and home cooked pizza, compliments of Elana’s killer pizza making skills in her hand built pizza oven. As Elana’s family likes to say, she just doesn’t do something, she goes big.

So when Eric and Elana got engaged, of course their wedding location was going to be epic. And what could be more epic than an intimate, tropical wedding in Costa Rica?! How about a stunning, turquoise blue wedding dress flowing with a crimson red floral pattern by Sachin & Babi Noir? Go big or go home, right Elana?! Most importantly though, as Elana’s brother John so eloquently stated (compliments of one of  his favorite philosophers, Rocky Balboa), Elana and Eric fill each other’s gaps. Congrats + felicidades you two!!
