Some of the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel like a secret — just the two of you, the people you love most, and a place that takes your breath away. That is exactly what Shaina & Calvin created at Los Sueños Marriott in Herradura, Costa Rica.
This was an elopement-style wedding at its finest — intimate, personal, and absolutely full of heart.
The Venue: Los Sueños Marriott, Herradura
Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort sits on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, surrounded by lush tropical forest and a stunning marina. It is one of the most sought-after venues for intimate weddings and elopements in Costa Rica — offering world-class service, breathtaking scenery, and a sense of privacy that makes couples feel like the whole world has stopped just for them.
If you are dreaming of an intimate wedding or elopement at Los Sueños Marriott and are looking for a photographer — we would love to hear from you.
An Intimate Ceremony by the Ocean
Shaina and Calvin exchanged their vows surrounded by the people who matter most to them. No big crowd, no overwhelming production — just love, sincerity, and the sound of the ocean in the background. The lush tropical gardens of the resort provided a naturally stunning backdrop that needed no extra decoration.
What strikes you immediately when photographing a wedding like this is how present everyone is. When there are fewer people, every emotion is felt more deeply. Every tear, every smile, every glance between the couple carries the full weight of the moment.
Golden Hour by the Marina
After the ceremony, we took Shaina and Calvin to the marina for their portrait session during golden hour. The warm Pacific light, the reflections on the water, and the relaxed energy between them made for some of the most natural and beautiful images of the day. These are the portraits that feel effortless — because they were.
Why an Intimate Wedding in Costa Rica?
More and more couples are choosing Costa Rica for intimate weddings and elopements — and it is easy to understand why. The natural beauty of the country does the work for you. Whether it is the Pacific coast, the rainforest, or a luxury resort like Los Sueños, Costa Rica offers settings that are impossible to find anywhere else.
As documentary wedding photographers, we believe that smaller weddings often produce the most powerful images. When the focus is on the connection between two people rather than the logistics of a large event, something magical happens in front of the camera.
