Costa Rica Elopement Photographer


If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding — just the two of you or a small group of your closest people — Costa Rica is the perfect place. I photograph elopements that feel real, emotional, and adventurous.

I live in Guanacaste, so I know the hidden spots, the weather patterns, and the best light here — but I’m not limited to this region at all. I’ve been traveling almost every day across different parts of Costa Rica for nearly 10 years to photograph elopements. From the Caribbean to the South Pacific, Arenal to Nicoya, I’ve worked in almost every corner of the country. That experience helps me guide you to the right location and create a day that feels effortless and true to you.

Why Elope in Costa Rica?


Wild, untouched nature

From empty beaches to lush jungle and powerful waterfalls — Costa Rica gives you endless cinematic backdrops.


Insane sunsets

Golden hour here is soft, warm, and magical. It’s my favorite time to photograph emotions and movement.


Rainy season is not a problem

Short tropical showers often create the most epic skies and deep, moody colors — and fewer crowds.
