Kirby & Chantal: Married

What a great week spent in beautiful Costa Rica. Kirby and Chantal were married under a dramatic tropical sky, sand in between their toes, and surrounded by loving family & friends.

Robin & I were honored to capture their beautiful ceremony on the very same beach where we were married just 6 months earlier. Chantal was stunning, and brought even me to tears as I shot, thanks
Tal!

As we captured their formal shots on the beach Kirby & Chantal watched the sun go down over the pacific embraced in each others arms. It was amazing! Then we all partying, laughed and cried into the night and even took in a magic show or too**! The next day the four of us headed out to explore Costa Rica. Kirby & Chantal opted for a
day after shoot, we headed around to local sugar cane fields, quaint little towns, and then it was time for the big finally, they trashed the dress, I did it and I think everyone should do it too!

Thanks for being so welcoming and fabulous you two, we are both blessed honored to call you our friends.




Chantal's Mom was so adorable, she was so proud to watch Chantal marry Kirby
Chantal made personalized thank you cards for all her bridesmaids, this one's my favorite!


Chantal brought everyone to tears as she cried tears of joy as her daddy walked her down the sandy isle.
Robin captured Kirby checking out his bride to be for the first time. I love it!





They had the most rockin bridal party, everyone was super fabulous
Kirby has still to let me in on the meaning of this one:


I love that we found a sweet fantabulous bike to match the stunning couple. Even if Kirby had to bribe a local to borrow it for the shoot!




I think everyone should trash their dress...
