Intimate Destination Wedding in Costa Rica by Davina + Daniel – Caroline and Ben

November 27, 2013 | nicole

As wedding photographers themselves, Caroline and Ben knew exactly what they wanted for their own big day; to show their guests a good time at their destination wedding in Costa Rica, and for wedding photographers Davina+Daniel to capture it all. Surrounded by luscious tropical hills of Costa Rica and their nearest and dearest, the couple was wed in a celebration at Hotel Mountain Paradise that is pretty much the coolest party you’ve ever seen!

The Design: There were a few details we cared about, we got our own cake topper (narwhals) and made some signs for the dessert table (more narwhals) but other than that we just wanted it to look nice! We pinned some ideas, our planner pinned some ideas and I let her roll with it.

The Moments: What were our favorite moments? That is an almost impossible question to answer! The day was so perfect to me, everyone was happy, the vows were perfect, my new husband looked amazing, we didn’t mess up our first dance, and it didn’t rain (much!).

The Photographer: Oh gosh! As wedding photographers ourselves wedding photography was a BIG DEAL. We changed our mind a few times because it was a really hard decision to make. We had adored Davina+Daniel’s work for a while but it was when we met them at a photography conference in New Orleans, that we knew we had to work with them.  (Editor’s note: Check out Caroline and Ben’s own their amazing work on the CarolinePlusBen’s website!)

The Advice: I know this is common advice but don’t sweat the small stuff, it really doesn’t matter, especially on the big day. Enjoy the day as much as possible and don’t be afraid to shed some tears :)
