This entry will be a doozie so hope you enjoy it. There are many reasons, but the biggest two being that I was so completely taken with these clients. The telling point was when I was saying goodbye at the post wedding brunch and the brides mother and I started crying as we hugged goodbye... I just loved these people and each and every one of their guests were equally as amazing. I know we will forever be friends and having put such a lovely event together for them filled me with such love and pride. Secondly I was honored to work with not only one, but two incredibly talented photographers - hats off to both Steve Stanton and Alec Vanderboom for these fabulous shots, you guys are the best!
The wedding was at the beautiful Hacienda Pinilla. events took place at the JW Marriott as well as luxury homes throughout property, the private beach front palapas. Lyndsay and Phil wanted their guests to fall as in love with Costa Rica as they have been for many years. based on the comments we heard from the guests, Mission accomplished.
The Rehearsal Dinner - a True cultural Tico experience, from a Marimba band, Folkloric dancers, a Costa Rican street Vendor Ice Cream Cart for dessert and even a full roasted pig or as we say in Costa Rica "El Chancho"!

The Wedding Day
The bride wore the most beautiful Monique Lhuillier I have ever seen, it had a removable skirt as you will see in the photos so she went from a full ballerina skirt during ceremony to a slinky sexy straight silhouette for the party. The style of the wedding was a new spin modern preppy meets the tropics. A white and green color palate was chosen and we let the vibrant colors of Costa Rica fill in the rest.
Thank you again to the entire Steuber and Norman Family, it was such an honor to be a part of this beautiful week and we wish you and all your friends a life full of love laughter and much happiness!
Your extended family at Tropical Occasions!
