Costa Rica Destination Wedding Photography
Costa Rica is where I was married so it holds a special draw for me. I've re-visited the country on five other occassions, once for serveral months. With beaches all to yourself, monkeys swinging through the jungles and misty cloud forests you really can't go wrong having your wedding in this amazing part of the world. My Costa Rica wedding photography packages include photographing your entire day from the pampering during your preparations through to the evening celebrations.
COSTA RICA SPECIAL
Since Costa Rica is my favorite country on earth, I'm offering all couples a substantial discount off my normal destination wedding photography rates. You will find my packages in the chart below.
I know from experience the kind of planning and decision-making you are probably going through to find the perfect wedding photographer for your destination wedding in Costa Rica. You're welcome to contact me either by phone or email for more information on my Costa Rica destination wedding photography packages. I'd love to hear from you and discuss your plans with a no-pressure phone or email consultation.
How does it work?
My approach is a blend of photojournalism and creative/relaxed portraiture. I love hearing from people that they forgot I was even there. During your preparations and ceremony, I take on the role of a photojournalist, documenting things as they happen... capturing natural expressions and emotions and telling the true story of your day. After the ceremony, bring your sense of adventure as well as your sense of humour and we'll have a blast during an informal creative portrait session. If your family will be at your wedding and you want some relaxed group portraits, no problem. We can also build this into our time together. When the reception starts I'll return to my documentary style and capture everything unobtrusively. My approach is about story-telling and I complete each package with a beautiful storybook coffee table album, just like the ones you see in bookstores.
Please feel free to browse my wedding photography gallery to see more of my work.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GETTING MARRIED IN COSTA RICA
The following is a list of requirements for civil marriage of non-residents in Costa Rica.
- Costa Rica requires a valid passport for foreigners who want to marry. Social Security nor drivers license of any country is considered proper identification for marriage purposes. A visa is not required for most visitors.
- Have your information, including a scanned passport, handed in within 10 days before the ceremony date.
- Two (2) people are required to sign as witnesses at your wedding in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, they cannot be "family up to the third degree," meaning witnesses cannot be a relation to the bride and groom: mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, sister, half sister, brother, half brother, cousin, nephew, neice, all in-laws, etc. Friends or staff working for your marriage commissioner/hotel, etc., are best.
- You will be required to be in the country at least four days before your wedding.
- The Certificate of Marriage in Costa Rica takes 3 (three) months to process. A Rush Option is available for an additional fee, in which the Certificate is ready in 10-12 business days.
- Once the Certificate is received, usually you need to register it in your city of residence, including city hall, town hall, municipality or equivalent to inquire where marriages are registered. Costa Rican marriages are recognized all over the world.
- The procedure for a valid marriage in Costa Rica involves the signing of two documents once concluded the ceremony. One is a sworn statement attesting principally to your marital status, thus avoiding any further proof. The other is the marriage document itself. After the ceremony, you cannot recieve a Certificate because first paperwork must be submitted to the Civil Registry of Costa Rica. The whole processing of documents, which includes translation and authentication by the Consulate of your country of residence, may vary but normally takes 10-12 weeks. Once everything is ready, the Marriage Certificate will be sent, along with instructions, to the address you provide on Item 8. Lawyer or wedding coordintaor will keep you updated with paperwork progress, via email, so you know exactly when the documentation is sent.
