Wedding Photographer in Costa Rica

Yes, I had some time out and recharged my batteries on a surf trip in tropical Costa Rica. No, I didn’t photograph a wedding there! I surfed, enjoyed plenty of sunshine, drove down dusty roads, met some lovely people and seen beautiful wildlife. Here is a photo of me sliding on an inside peeler. More photos coming soon, I promise!

10 Must Have Wedding Moments
10 Must Have Wedding Moments

When searching for your wedding photographer, you’ve probably fallen in love with a particular wedding photography style — whether that’s documentary, editorial, film-inspired, or something with a fine art edge. Choosing a style you love is important, but beyond the aesthetic, have you thought about which moments from your wedding day you’ll want to relive forever?

Moments over Poses
Moments over Poses

Unposed. Unrushed. Unfiltered.
Documentary wedding photography that captures the intimacy, emotion, and quiet beauty of your day.

Moments over poses. I focus on storytelling rather than staged, artificial poses. This approach captures raw, unscripted emotions and genuine interactions as they naturally unfold, offering a true representation of the day’s atmosphere—not just how it looked, but how it felt…

Tips from your Wedding Photographer
Tips from your Wedding Photographer

It’s your day so do what you want! It’s hard I get it, guest lists, kids or no kids, are dogs welcome, should I invite that auntie and uncle I haven’t seen in years, should I hire a wedding car …But life is short and traditions are there to be broken. Do what you feel like doing and not what you think is expected!

I curated some tips to help you make the most out of your wedding day and photography…
