Choosing Joice as our photographer was the best decision we made!
We fell in love with her work during our engagement session. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and from that moment on, we knew we wanted her to capture our wedding day too.
Beyond her incredible talent, working with Joice was an absolute joy. She has such a warm, calming presence that made everything feel natural and completely stress-free. Thanks to her, we truly enjoyed both our engagement session and every moment of our wedding day.
When we received our wedding gallery, it felt like reliving the entire day. She captured every emotion, every little detail, and every meaningful moment so beautifully that we couldn’t have been happier with the final result.
We would recommend Joice a thousand times over and would choose her again for any special milestone in our lives.
Thank you, Joice, for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

We had a surprise proposal in Costa Rica and they made the experience amazing. The moment we got to the spot they were well hidden so the surprise wouldn’t be ruined. They shot the proposal and pictures afterward. When we received the album back it was better than we could’ve imagined. I highly recommend using Joice and her team for photos!!Posted on Google Taylor ReevesJuly 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Además de tener un talento increíble, trabajar con Joyce es un verdadero placer. Es un amor de persona, transmite una energía lindísima y hace que todo se sienta natural y sin estrés.

Working with Joice for our surprise proposal was truly one of the best decisions my fiancé made.

Her eye for detail, ability to capture genuine emotion, and calm, encouraging presence made the experience even more special. We are beyond grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers stunning photos, I cannot recommend Joice enough. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!Posted on Google Shelby PoseyJuly 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joice is excellent and was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Her online gallery is stunning and I only dreamed ours could be captured the same.

Hicimos una cesión de fotos madre he hija. Y bueno. Nos tuvo mucha paciencia. Siempre fue atenta con los detalles. Comunicativa y con la dedicación que requiere un adulto mayor de 89 años. Así que recomiendo muchísimo sus servicios. Es una joven profesional, talentosa y con mucho carismaPosted on Google Beatriz SalazarApril 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dahianna y Diego fueron una extraordinaria elección para congelar la memoria de una etapa muy importante de nuestra familia a través de las fotos, desde el min 1 nos inspiraron confianza, amistad y un trato hermoso, nos tuvieron máxima paciencia especialmente a mis pequeños en un clima retador de 37 grados, con un resultado espectacular…. Ver esas fotos, es un sueño hecho realidad!! Siempre estaré agradecidaPosted on Google Roxana RojasApril 18, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quedé encantado con el servicio. Al principio estaba un poco nervioso, ya que no vivo cerca de Costa Rica y todo lo estaba organizando a distancia para una propuesta de matrimonio muy importante para mí. A pesar de que siempre fue muy profesional y clara en todos sus mensajes, no deja de existir ese miedo cuando contratas un servicio en línea. Sin embargo, superó completamente mis expectativas. Antes de la propuesta me ayudó en absolutamente todo: planeamos cada detalle y todo salió exactamente como lo imaginé. Durante el momento, fue increíblemente profesional, atenta y con la mejor actitud. Nos hizo sentir muy cómodos en todo momento. Si pudiera repetir la experiencia, sin duda la contrataría mil veces más. No van a perder su tiempo ni su dinero — es, sin duda, la mejor opción.Posted on Google Carlos Diaz OsunaApril 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a wonderful experience working with Joice and Diego for our wedding in Costa Rica. From the very beginning, they went out of their way to support us and were incredibly attentive all the way up to the wedding day. We really appreciated the tender care and thoughtfulness they gave to all of our requests. They made us feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the process, which meant so much during such a special and emotional time. And the photos were absolutely beautiful. They captured everything so naturally and artistically, and we were also delightfully surprised by the drone footage — such an amazing bonus that made our memories feel even more cinematic and special. Joice and Diego are truly an excellent team. We loved their energy and felt so comfortable with them. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an elopement or wedding in Costa Rica!Posted on Google C.M. Soto (Christy)April 7, 2026

HOW TIMELINE GUIDANCE WORKS
Once you share your ceremony plan, we review it to pinpoint the best light for your vows, the ideal window for portraits, and any adjustments to make your photos shine.
DO YOU OFFER DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY?
Drone footage is part of our equipment, though not a fixed package feature — it depends on weather and location authorization. When both align, we’re happy to use it, though it’s never guaranteed.





A Closer Look at Each Package
With over 8 years photographing weddings in Costa Rica, we’ve learned exactly how much time each celebration needs. Whether it’s a grand luxury wedding or an intimate one, these packages are designed so you’re never racing against the clock — just present, enjoying your day.
Fall in Love
For couples celebrating with 120+ guests and a full production behind them. This is the package for a grand destination wedding — every hour of the day covered, from the getting-ready moments for both of you, where you can simply relax and enjoy time with your families, to the last dance.
Perfect for luxury weddings at: Las Catalinas, Hacienda Pinilla, Four Seasons, Andaz Papagayo, Westin Conchal, Secrets Papagayo, Villa Punto de Vista (and other elevated destination venues).
Photo logistics consultation covering timeline, light, locations for the couple’s portrait session, and flow for your wedding day. I’ll send you a few recommendations to help you prepare for key moments like the getting-ready — what to do and who to have with you.
10 hours of documentary + artistic coverage with 2 photographers working simultaneously — so you get two different angles of the same moment across the venue.
Sneak peek in 7 days, minimum 850+ edited images, and a private online gallery ready to share and print.
Tropical Love
For weddings of 50–120 guests where you want the heart of the day fully covered. This is a favorite among many couples — getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and reception — without extending into a full production. Relaxed, complete, and beautifully paced.

EXPERTS IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & PLANNING
Meet Your Costa Rica Wedding Photography & Planning Team
We’re a Costa Rica–based team of two photographers and a dedicated wedding planner, with over 8 years photographing destination weddings across Costa Rica and beyond. From beach ceremonies to rainforest elopements to full-day celebrations, we cover every angle of your day — a second shooter and drone coverage on the photography side, and seamless planning behind the scenes, so nothing is left to chance.

Joice Dahianna
Lead Photographer & Founder
Joice works exclusively as a destination wedding photographer in Costa Rica, guiding every couple with genuine care from first consultation to final delivery. She’s your main point of contact throughout, and also leads the creative direction and marketing behind the brand itself.

Diego Ramírez
Second Shooter & Drone Pilot
Diego is the second photographer on every wedding, capturing key moments from a different angle so nothing gets missed. He’s also the drone pilot behind every aerial shot, and the one filming the behind-the-scenes videos you’ll see across the brand’s social media.

The White Wedding
Experience Planner
Ceilyn Castro designs and coordinates the experience behind proposals, elopements and weddings, so couples can stay fully present while every detail unfolds seamlessly. From planning and logistics to personal touches, she creates the ideal environment for unforgettable moments — the kind meant to be beautifully captured.
GOOD TO KNOW
FAQs
Everything couples usually ask before booking their Costa Rica wedding photography — if your question isn’t here, write to Joice directly.

Do you offer wedding videography in Costa Rica?
We focus exclusively on photography to give it our full creative attention, and partner with a trusted videography team we personally recommend — so your day is fully documented in both photo and film, without compromising on either.
Do You Include Drone Coverage For Luxury Weddings In Costa Rica?
Drone coverage is part of our team’s toolkit, but it’s not something we can guarantee as a fixed package item — it depends on hotel/venue permits and weather conditions (rain and wind). Our team travels with a drone and uses it whenever conditions allow, at no additional cost to you.
Do you photograph legal wedding ceremonies, or only symbolic ones?
Both. We work with a licensed legal officiant for couples who want to marry officially in Costa Rica, and with a symbolic officiant for cacao ceremonies or secular celebrations — many couples choose to legally marry privately beforehand and have a symbolic ceremony on their wedding day. We can connect you with the right option for your plans.
Can you help plan or coordinate a destination wedding in Costa Rica, not just photograph it?
Yes. Through our partnership with Ceilyn Castro of Your White Wedding — one of the top destination wedding planners in Costa Rica — we can coordinate your full wedding logistics: venues, vendors, timelines, and design, all in sync with the photography from day one. It’s the difference between beautiful photos and a truly spectacular gallery: when every detail is already handled, your day unfolds naturally, and that’s exactly what ends up captured.
What's the best time of year to get married in Costa Rica?
DRY SEASON | December–April
The most requested season for outdoor ceremonies, with the best odds of clear skies and volcano views. Sunny and predictable, though never fully guaranteed.
GREEN SEASON | May–November
Mornings usually stay clear, with afternoon showers that pass quickly. Landscapes turn lush and vibrant, and we always have an indoor backup ready.
HEAVIEST RAINS | July–September
The wettest stretch, with occasional flooding on roads into La Fortuna. Indoor luxury venues remain a stunning, worry-free alternative.
Is travel included, or is there an extra fee for remote venues?
Travel is already included for Monteverde, La Fortuna, and select Guanacaste beaches. If your venue is more remote or your timeline requires a very early start or late finish, an additional travel fee may apply — you’ll always know the exact cost before you book.
What Happens If It Rains On Your Wedding Day?
Costa Rica’s tropical climate means rain is part of the experience, even in dry season. We plan a backup shot list and indoor/covered alternatives for every venue in advance, so a shower never derails your coverage — some of our favorite images come from unexpected weather.
What Does A Typical Wedding Day Timeline Look Like?
A full day usually flows through getting-ready for each of you, first look, ceremony, newlywed portraits, and reception. Every timeline is personalized to your coverage hours and ceremony location.
How Do I Book My Date?
Booking is simple: secure your date with a 40% deposit via PayPal or local bank transfer. The remaining balance is due on your wedding day or the day after.
What if we need to reschedule or cancel our wedding date?
Your retainer is non-refundable, as it secures your wedding date and reserves it exclusively for you. If unforeseen circumstances or a force majeure event affect your celebration, we’ll do our best to reschedule your photography session to a new date, subject to availability. Any changes or cancellations should be communicated as early as possible.
Do you offer printed wedding albums?
We don’t produce physical albums directly, but your online gallery makes it easy to create your own — many couples love this option because it lets you design an album exactly to your taste, send it to your preferred print lab, and have it printed and shipped straight to your home. It’s one of the most popular ways our couples choose to keep their photos.
