Kevin and Jamie's Portraits

Last week Kevin and Jamie were married on the beach in Costa Rica. Here's a little peek at their wedding portraits :)
 A photo of Kevin just after he got ready and one of Jamie just before she put her wedding dress on.
One of each on the beach :)
As soon as their first dance was over they took off running down the shoreline.
 Toes in the sand. What a wonderful way to get married.
 I love the way they look at each other.
 Sweet...
 ...and super romantic.

Kevin took a few photos of his beautiful bride and I love this photo of him kissing her hand.
 Always love the jumping photo.
A few holding hands pics: One on the Beach and the other in front of La Mariposa.
 We had some amazing clouds to work with and finally just before the reception we had fun with a little American Gothic pose.
Congratulations Kevin and Jamie!

Jamie Trashes the Dress

Today Jamie and I went on a little adventure with a few of her friends and family. We are still in Costa Rica so rode 4-wheelers out to La Selvita where Jamie zip-lined in her wedding dress. So. Much. Fun.
She had a veil on her helmet :)
Love this girl!
 I went ahead of her on the line so I could get her coming right at me. I've never zip-lined before and it was a bit scary but so worth it. The view was amazing.
 There were 10 line on the course so I got several chances to catch her veil blowing and smiling face. I love the red helmet and purple shoes.
A few quick portraits after we were done.
THen it was back on the 4-wheelers for the ride back to town.
 Beautiful girl...checking to make sure I was still behind her.
 This was totally awesome because our guide found us a bridge where I could shoot her from overhead then run down and get her from the front splashing through the water. Awesome!
 I grabbed this on of Karuna who drove me so I could take photos since I got off the ATV for the river shot. She was a great driver.
 In the water and on the dirt roads.
And finally...through a canopy of palm trees. The view was simple gorgeous here.
The end :)
 I had a great day with you Jamie. I'll have wedding pics for you soon.

Kevin and Jamie are getting married :)

I've spent the last few days with the most wonderful couple. Kevin and Jamie are getting married tomorrow in Costa Rica on Manuel Antonio Beach and I've been here with them for the last few days. Yesterday was a lot of fun we took a hike in the rainforest and then there was welcome party at La Mariposa, the hotel where everyone is staying. Ahh...tommorow, wedding in paradise :)
First, a photo of the lovely couple. :)
 We started out day hiking the Rainmaker which is a beautiful trail through the rainforest. I love this little heart shaped leaf with the light shining through it. Apppropriate? I think so :)
The plants were amazing and the trail was up an down and there were rope bridges we crossed in the trees. It was gorgeous.
Pretty light. This leaf looks like a fan.
 And this is a skeleton leaf. It's like a ghost.
 We also saw a little wildlife. Out tour guide had an eagle-eye. This little guys was just hanging out.
 This was one of two eyelash vipers we saw on the trail. Venomous...yes. EEK!
 A blue butterfly. I love the contrast of the super bright cold and the dirt and roots.
 Kevin and Jamie are photographers too.
 We stopped at a swimming hole where most of the group hopped in and swam in the waterfall.
 Then I got a few photos of Kevin and Jamie together on the rocks. So sweet.
 Once we got back to the hotel we had time to change and head out to the welcome party.
 Mojitos.
 and delicious food.
Then everyone introduced themselves and told how they know Kevin and Jamie. Love this photo with her brother and sister on either side of the happy couple.
A few toasts.
 They really are so happy :)
Sweet words from mom and dad end up in hugs and tears. 
 Kevin and Jamie looking out over their party.
 The sunset was breathtaking.
 Then Jamie pulled out some flying lantern she had bought for the wedding and we released them into the night sky.
 Stunning.
Congratulation Kevin and Jamie. I can't wait for tomorrow.
