This past February, I was invited to Costa Rica to photograph a wedding. Gina, the bride, was a bridesmaid in a previous Calgary wedding I had photographed (Dave and Julie's wedding). Jordan, the groom, is in the Air Force, based in Trenton, Ont.
Costa Rica is amazing. The waves are some of the best I've surfed. I surfed with some locals, as well as the entire wedding party. If you're an active outdoors person, CR is the place to go.
The resort we stayed at was called Paradisus Playa Conchal (shell beach). The resort was beautiful with good food, huge pool, 'swim up' bar and nightly entertainment. The wildlife was plenty, and I regret trying to feed a Racoon-type creature after it bit me. Or maybe I regret having a few drinks and making a bad decision.
I fell in love with Costa Rica. In fact, I've decided to start marketing my wedding photography there for winters. So, if you know of anyone considering Costa Rica for their destination wedding, let me know.
