Plan Your Costa Rica Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

Choosing Maciej as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our Costa Rica elopement. From the start, he was so much more than a photographer. He helped us coordinate key details of our day, including our location, officiant, hair and makeup, and flowers, making the entire planning process feel effortless. As a couple planning an intimate destination elopement, having someone we could trust every step of the way was invaluable. What impressed us most was how intentionally he approached our day. He took the time to understand who we are as a couple and created an experience that felt authentic to us. Nothing ever felt staged or forced. He made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be present with each other and truly enjoy every moment. His talent behind the camera is extraordinary. So many of our favorite images were candid moments we didn’t even realize he was capturing. When we received our gallery, we were amazed by the emotion, light, scenery, and small details he documented so beautifully. Every photo feels like a piece of our story. Our elopement day started before sunrise and included a bit of adventure, but thanks to Maciej’s guidance, it unfolded perfectly. Looking through our photos brings us right back to that morning in Costa Rica and all the excitement, joy, and love we felt. If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding or elopement and want someone who will not only create stunning images but also help craft an unforgettable experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Maciej. We will treasure these photos and memories for the rest of our lives.

Absolutely stunning photographs and an amazing person.

They were amazing to work with!! And our wedding photos came out better than i could have ever imagined! My husband and I are both kinda awkward when it comes to professional photos, but they made us feel comfortable and the shots were natural and beautiful! Truly a pleasure to work with! Beautiful photos are the bonus. I could go on and on but everyone who has seen my photos have privately told me they’re the best wedding pics they’ve ever seen!

The best decision we made was choosing Adri & Lucas as our photography and videography team! Although our wedding package at Dream Las Mareas included photos and videos, when we saw Adri & Lucas' Instagram pages, we knew we wanted them to capture our Big Day! They were an absolute pleasure to work with from our first contact with them, to our wedding day! Both were incredibly kind, professional, caring, responsive, flexible and talented. On our wedding day, they fit in just like family and our guests loved having them around. I could not thank them enough for the way in which they encouraged and supported us, reassuring us every step of the way on our hectic wedding day. Thank you so much for being the Dream Team!

I initially chose Raw Shoots for their style of photography. I was inspired by the moody, yet warm and contrasting images. I knew we also needed experienced and structured wedding photographers to ensure all my ideas came to life. The team of Raw Shoots was perfect. They made us all feel comfortable and captured some great real moments between us as a couple and our guests.

Jessica is amazing!! We loved our engagement and wedding photos! She captured a lot of precious and unforgettable moments, looking at the photos it's like being back there again! Thanks to her we have amazing memories, specially with our senior dog that recently passed away and looking at the photos it just fills our hearts! We cannot recommend her enough! Best photographer ever! Thank you so much Jessica!

I have been working in the event industry for over 9 years. Working with Mil Besos has been such a breeze. Meghan and her team are so organized and quick to respond. I am consistently inspired by them and excited to start our next project!

It can feel overwhelming to choose a videographer for a destination wedding but as soon as I saw samples of DWS' wedding portfolio, I knew DWS embraced the vision I had for our wedding videography. Working with Jamileth and the DWS team was seamless: from understanding our relationship and our vision, to communication and payment, Jami was a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding at Villa Punto de Vista, the DWS team was there to capture all of the important moments, while somehow never being in the way! They are true professionals. DWS happily and easily worked in collaboration with our photography team, and, between both teams, we feel like we had the dream photo/video team! The video quality is incredible and includes drone footage. It is perfectly edited to sync to suitable music and nicely overlays audio from our vows, ceremony, speeches, and toasts. We absolutely love our photos, but our wedding highlight video, teaser videos and ceremony cut are the perfect way to showcase the emotions and overall feeling of the day in a way that photos do not always do. We are so happy to have the combination of photos + video to remember our wedding celebration. We are so grateful to have these memories that we will cherish forever and we recommend DWS to anyone looking for a destination wedding videographer in Costa Rica and beyond!
