Costa Rica Destination Wedding Photographer
I travelled with this group to Riu Palace Costa Rica as their wedding photographer.
I travel with the group and stay with the group for 4-5 + days. I'll document the wedding day and any pre-ceremony events and a private couples session after the wedding in stunning locations.
