Jose and Glen came to Monteverde for their first trip together to the cloud forest — a getaway meant simply to explore and spend time together. When it came to choosing a location for their session, Cerro Pinocho felt like the obvious choice: one of Monteverde’s most iconic viewpoints, and exactly the kind of place that turns a trip into a memory.

Planning the details mattered — the two grooms wore white, a choice that played beautifully against the golden, dry-season vegetation and the deepening colors of sunset. It was a small decision that made a big difference, letting every photograph carry the full richness of the light around them.

And then Monteverde gave them something neither of us expected: as the sun dropped, a full rainbow appeared across the sky, turning an already spectacular sunset session into something neither Jose nor Glen will forget.
