TRASH THE DRESS SESSION | LLANOS DE CORTÉS, GUANACASTE
Luciana & Ryan’s Trash the Dress at Llanos de Cortés
One day after saying “I do” at Dreams Las Mareas, Luciana and Ryan traded the
reception for a private morning at Llanos de Cortés Waterfall — wading fully
dressed into the water for one last, unforgettable chapter.
THE STORY
Back in Her Wedding Dress, One Day Later
Luciana and Ryan, a young couple full of excitement, celebrated an intimate wedding at Dreams Las Mareas — and decided the story wasn’t quite finished yet. The next day, still glowing from their wedding, they traded the resort for the wild backdrop of Llanos de Cortés Waterfall.
As their photographers, we’re able to request early access, arriving a full hour before the waterfall opens to visitors. It’s a small place that fills up fast with tourists, so having it entirely to ourselves made all the difference — no crowds, no rushing, just Luciana and Ryan and the sound of falling water.
They gave everything to the session, and by the end, there was only one place left to go: straight into the water. Fully dressed, laughing, completely unbothered by soaked fabric and dripping hair, they created some of the most mystical, romantic images of their entire wedding story — proof that sometimes the best photos come after the “I do.”
