This wedding took place at  one of my new favorite spots for small wedding groups looking for an ultra private luxurious location with stunning views, in Manuel Antonio.  Casa Maravilla has some of the best views in the area and you truly feel like the entire jungle is all yours when you are here.   The house can sleep up to 18 and host parties for groups of upto 25 people, and you are just minutes away from the world class beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park.   The gardens are perfect for a romantic photo shoot of the bride and groom, as you can see so beautifully captured below by A Brit & A Blonde Photography (also one of my new favorites!!!).  Thank you to Jason & Jessica Hill for the truly gorgeous photographs.   And also a huge thank you to Abby & Rob for allowing me to help with your desitination wedding.  I hope you two are having a blast traveling the world for the next three months!  




                                                 
                                                 
 
 

Just got these in!  What a young fun couple!  Kristina & Derek and their closest family and friends stayed at Casa Fantastica and were married on Manuel Antonio Beach.   The young volunteers deciding they wanted to tie the knot and so with not too much notice, we made it happen!  So fun, full of life, ...and love.  Here are some of the moments captured by Miss Sarah Yunker, local to Manuel Antonio. 
 

This was a fun wedding!  I met Laura the year before and we settled on the incredible Casa Fantastica for their Valentine's Day wedding.  Laura is half Tica (or Costa Rican) herself and was expecting around 60 people, including here family and friends in Costa Rica.   She had a sexy tropical vibe and we showcased that with colors of lime green, turquoise, & silver.  Her dress was great- very Latina and dramatic (just like Laura herself, lol).   She wore it so well!  We had a simple beach ceremony followed by a fun filled reception back at the casa.  At the end of the night, Laura's Costa Rican grandmother insisted each guest pin dollar bills to the bride, before she was allowed to go for the night!  It is a Costa Rican tradition and one I think most brides would not mind incorporating into their Costa Rica wedding :) So cute.  Please enjoy the photos shot by Lifetime Digital Imaging.   Thank you!
 
 
 
 
 
 

  
Another fabulous & romantic wedding at the best house in town for wedding- Casa Fantastica.  Tania & Shane and 30 of their closest friends and family gathered at 4pm on the poolside patio for the ceremony, with the islands of Manuel Antonio and the Pacific ocean as their backdrop.  The reception was held on the otherside of the house, again with magnificent ocean and jungle views from all angles.   We used pineapples and local tropical flowers in colors or purple, white, reds, and oranges through out the decor and incorporated professional lighting and draping to create a very intimate and warm ambiance.   Local chefs catered the event, providing super fresh and delicious dishes with local fish, shrimp, fruits & vegetables- delicious!  Photography was done by the very talented Eduardo Lopez, a native to Costa Rica.   He really know what his is doing as you can see from a few of his shots.  Thanks to everyone who helped make the event a success!  And, thank you Tania for trusting me to make it happen! 
Update- few months later, Tania let me know Shane and her wereexpecting twins!
