Hotel Costa Verde Wedding in Costa Rica | Kelly + Andrew
I had the pleasure of photographing this incredible outdoor wedding in Hotel Costa Verde, Costa Rica! It was like a dream come true! Kelly + Andrew met on a super cold and snowy night in Toronto, went out for drinks (beer to be exact) and ended up closing the place down and talking for hours. Kelly knew from that moment that Andrew was someone special and she didn't want to go a day without talking to him, and they didn't from that point on.
Everything felt right from the beginning and even through a few life transitions like moving, graduating, finding new jobs, travelling and getting a dog together, it always just felt right. So on the first of December Andrew presented Kelly with his "12 Dates of Christmas" where for the days that followed they went on a small date everyday. They did things like go to the Christmas tree farm, made homemade pizza together, skating and a craft show. The final 3 dates took place in Quebec City at the Fairmont where they continued on a few more dates, then on the morning of the final day, they went on that final date where Andrew pulled out a "secret date" card from his coat that simple read "Will you marry me?"
Kelly + Andrew chose to get married in Costa Rica because they LOVE to travel together, and Kelly is obsessed with monkeys + rain forest, so that's how they chose Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica! The universe even made sure monkeys were there during the ceremony! How magical! :)
The next day...
