Close your eyes, and imagine the following….

(Ok, don’t close your eyes, because then you won’t be able to read this.  So, just pretend your eyes are closed…)

You hear a soft lapping from below, which could only be the sound of waves crashing against the shore.  The soothing sound of the waves is accompanied by the conversations of brightly colored parrots and lazy howler monkeys.  A light breeze flows through the trees, rustling the leaves and blowing your hair across your face, ever so lightly.  The sand feels cool and wet beneath your toes, as you look out across the horizon and watch the sunset over the ocean and spotty islands in the distance.  You realize that you are, in fact, in paradise.

Sounds nice, right?!  Now, imagine being in that paradise for five glorious days. Those five days are full of adventures and excursions, hilarious people and incredible food, and of course, the most beautiful wedding you can imagine.

That pretty much sums up my Costa Rican adventure with David and Mandy and their wonderful friends and family.  I’ve been so lucky to travel to so many beautiful places and meet many unique people, but I can honestly say that this trip was one of the best, as it was a culmination of the things I love most: love, weddings, travel, adventure, friends, family.

I hope these photos truly capture all of those things, and more.

Mandy and David, I’m so grateful you asked me to be a part of your adventure and allowed me to get to know the amazing people in your lives.  I am forever changed by my experiences with you.
