Hello Everyone!

 

My name is Sacha and I'm a wedding photographer based in the Seattle area who stumbled across this site during a google search and think it looks like a great destination wedding resource. I have read the vendor rules and hope I can help others in the wedding planning process.

 

I first became interested in destination weddings in 2005 when a prospective couple asked if I'd be willing to travel five hours each way for their wedding at a little resort on the coast. I love the beach and after hanging out with them and listening to what they had planned there was no way I could turn it down. Weddings had always been pretty routine for me and I loved how it was important for them to not only dedicate their lives to each other somewhere beautiful but also to create a weekend getaway where they were able to spend time with their closest friends and family. I have to say that after that weekend I was hooked.

 

While these events take extra time and work on my part I find that I connect so well with couples that find value in doing something different than everyone else while still incorporating their friends and family that it more than makes up for the extra effort on my part. I'm sure part of this is that I would definitely go the destination route if I were getting married so these weddings are especially fun for me. I think another part of it is simply that I focus on the emotional connections between people while I am shooting and this results in images that are full of passion and a little different than what a lot of other people are shooting. People planning weddings that aren't traditional and boring tend to want pictures that reflect that...

 

I think that about sums it up for me and how I ended up here - I hope that be of help to others on the forum and excited to "meet" some fun people in the process.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
