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

Choosing to work with Adri and Lucas was the best decision we made for our wedding in Costa Rica! We are an awkward couple in front of camera and were dreading about taking pictures for the wedding, but they made it so easy, fun, and comfortable. We were able to be ourselves and simply having fun, but at the same time, somehow the pictures came out stunning! They captured so beautifully and naturally important moments with our friends and family in our wedding that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Highly highly recommend working with this lovely couple. You definitely won’t regret it! We LOVE them!

We had such a great experience with our photographer in Costa Rica! Our engagement photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with them! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot, especially when it came to posing, and made the whole experience feel natural and fun. She really captured such a special moment in our lives, and we’re so grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on. Highly recommend her!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Raw Shoots Photography for our wedding in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. From the very beginning, they were so easy to communicate with and made us feel completely at ease. They worked seamlessly with us throughout the day, capturing not only the stunning setting at Nekaui but also the genuine, emotional moments that made our wedding so special. They went above and beyond to make sure our guests were included, and thanks to them, we now have beautiful portraits and candid shots that reflect the joy and energy of everyone who celebrated with us. The photos are absolutely breathtaking—natural, artistic, and full of life. We’ll treasure these memories forever. Thank you, Raw Shoots, for capturing our day so perfectly and for being such a pleasure to work with!

Jessica is beyond amazing!! The best word to describe her work is MAGIC, not only the way she captures every moment; but also the way she makes you feel confident and comfortable while she captures memories that will last forever as she did for my engagement, wedding and post-wedding photos. She is a great person and professional. I totally recommend her amazing job, definitely the best photographer in Costa Rica!!

I loved working with them. They made us feel very comfortable during the shoot, as if they were a couple of friends taking our pictures. They were also open to our random photo requests during the shoot ;) And we loved the outcome!! Truly beautiful!

My wife and I were planning an elopement in Costa Rica and knew that we had to carefully pick our photographer as these photos are intended to last a lifetime. After careful consideration one photographer stood out to us and it was Maciej. He has been communicating with us since the day we booked him a year in advance and when we finally met him in person he was a gem of a person to work with. He’s very kind and made the photo taking process very easy considering we aren’t the best at posing for photos. Speaking of the photos , WOW. He made our photos look like cinema. We love how he not only captured us but the beauty of the nature around us. We chose this waterfall (Llanos de Cortez) off his recommendation and it was the perfect spot if you are a nature lover and want a unique setting for your special day. He was creative with his composition and made sure to capture the essence of our love. The fact that he was able to coordinate with the officiant to have us get married legally made the whole package worth every penny. Our trip to Costa Rica was amazing and it was largely due to the people we met along the way and he for sure was one of them. Papaya Wedding is worth your consideration and I would book him again in a heartbeat!

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!
