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

We are so happy we went with Raw Shoots for our wedding! Rob and Lori nailed it—super professional, yet down-to-earth and really helpful. They guided us through the whole photo process, making sure we felt comfortable and looked our best. They had all sorts of resources to coach us and guide us along the way. Plus, they had such a creative eye for the perfect shots! The best part? They were like photo ninjas during the ceremony and reception—super discreet but always in the right spot at the right time. Highly recommend them if you're looking for photographers who are all about capturing those big moments without making a big scene.

We had our wedding right when the world came to an end on March 20th, 2020. A lot of countries were closing down including Costa Rica and White Diamond Photo still showed up to our Ceremony. They were so happy to be there and it was so fun to have them at our wedding. They have the ability to capture the perfect moments without making you feel like someone is taking a picture of you. All the photos came out perfect and we are so happy we went with White Diamond. They are so dedicated to their work that they will travel during a pandemic to make your wedding happen! Thanks again!

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!!

We cannot even begin to explain just how overjoyed we are with the work of Adri and her team. She went ABOVE and BEYOND to provide us with the BEST possible experience, far exceeding our expectations. From the very start, she guided us through the entire experience, not only providing us with all the information we needed from a planning perspective but also the support we needed even emotionally (as you know, wedding planning is no easy feat!). We knew through our very first video call that she was our girl (in fact, she was the first and only photographer we chatted with and we felt THIS confident with our decision). She kept everything fun, exciting, and stress-free leading up to and on the big day! We laughed a LOT with her and just had the best time. She has a natural talent and exceptional skill and is just phenomenal at what she does. We can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for us and the incredible photos and videos they captured. We get to relive our wedding day for the rest of our lives thanks to their AMAZING work. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, we highly encourage you to choose them, you won't be disappointed. We love Adri and her team. The bond we formed through the experience feels like we’ve gained new friends. Easily one of the best decisions we made. Thank you for making our wedding an extraordinary and timeless experience!

We just came home from an unforgettable trip in Costa Rica and renewed our wedding vows. We got back our ceremony pictures from Papayawedding Photography and we absolutely love them!! ❤️❤️❤️ If you are thinking about getting married, vow exchange or family photos in Costa Rica, Papayawedding photography is amazing. Both Maciej and his wife Jennifer kept the session relaxed, natural and simple for us and our 3 year old. Really personalised service planned around our 3 year old with little patience and gave us beautiful location recommendations before the shoot that would suit us. The quality of the images is absolutely beautiful and really natural. Plenty of pictures in the end to choose from which is alway a bonus. We highly recommend them as you will get beautiful memories for a lifetime.

I can’t say enough good things about Jenn in Costa Rica! Over the course of many months of my engagement planning, she helped me tirelessly to find the perfect location. She was incredibly discreet, patient, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. On top of that, her photography skills are amazing—she captured everything beautifully. I highly recommend her to anyone! Hope to have her travel for our wedding!

Alejandro, Jamileth & their team are exceptional. With consistently impeccable service before, during & after an event, and beautiful films as a result, they are an amazing choice for capturing your love story. Day-of, they are unobtrusive and attentive to every moment as the day unfolds. We could not be happier with their work and are thrilled when our clients choose Destination Wedding Stories!

From our very first conversation til the day we left Costa Rica, Meghan and her team were the best and that is an understatement. Having no idea what we wanted or where to even start, we were given guidance, ideas and a scheduled itinerary for us to come pre-decision making. Our planning process was just under one year and Mil Besos was there every step of the way. Meghan was available to chat anytime we needed her and answered any & all questions/concerns. I knew when I arrived in Costa Rica everything was going to be amazing but I didn't realize how amazing. We had multiple events throughout the wedding weekend and Kerry & Sol were there helping me, my family & all of our guests get where they needed to be (and on time!) You never know what to expect when you make all of your decisions over the phone or based on photos but Cata took everything I liked and turned it into more than I ever could have imagined. I was blown away by how my wedding turned out. On my actual wedding day Sol and Kerry MADE IT HAPPEN. My groom & I wanted for nothing and we loved being able to spend time with them all day. There aren't enough hours in the day to go on and on, if I could I would. Aside from saying yes to your partner, hiring Mil Besos will be the second best decision you ever make. I promise.
