Ana and Sol began their day getting ready in a penthouse suite with the ocean stretching out below, trading turns in front of the camera as each took her turn with hair and makeup — one of those unplanned in-between moments that turned out to be some of the most beautiful of the entire day.

The sky had other plans for the afternoon. Just as the ceremony approached, clouds rolled in fast, and the rain arrived before either of them reached the arch — sending everyone back inside to wait it out.

The moment it stopped, the ceremony came together in a rush. In all the excitement, both brides realized too late that they’d left their shoes behind and said their vows barefoot, in slippers instead — a detail neither of them planned, and one they still laugh about today.

Once they were married, the sky cleared into a golden Tamarindo sunset, perfect for a newlywed session that captured Ana and Sol exactly as they are: relaxed, radiant, and completely at ease in front of the camera.

If you’re planning your elopement photography in front of a beautiful beach, Tamarindo is exactly the place for you.
