I’m totally convinced that Costa Rica is one of the coolest destinations for a super fun, super relaxed wedding like this one by Ale Sura Photo. And this outdoor loving couple is convinced too. They chose this gorgeous beach location because of its lack of big, high rise hotels and, of course, the amazing surf. Their guests enjoyed a totally relaxed, totally eco-friendly, totally gorgeous day and I promise I’m only a tad bit jealous. Click here to see even more!

From Ale of Ale Sura Photo… Even with their super-busy schedules, this couple of doctors are traveling fans. From the coolest weather to the Caribbean they just love having adventures, practice surfing, snowboarding, horseback rides, river kayaking and anything else you can think of. It was more than appropriate for them to find a little hidden paradise like Nosara to tie the knot. If I had to think on a phrase that describes their style and theme I would have to say “The good life.” Every single detail in this wedding evoked this feeling — I mean, what else comes to mind when you see a sunset in Costa Rica, beer holders, a yummy pig roast, surfboards and cigars?
From the bride and groom… Nosara is a small jewel we’ve found located on the Nicoya Peninsula in Northwest Costa Rica. The actual town of Nosara (where the locals live) is set back from the beach, but the “gringo” center is around Playa Guiones. Nosara is touted as “eco-friendly” with a 300 foot perimeter of protected jungle along the edge of the beach. We love Nosara because it lacks the big hotels and high-rises of explosive, unplanned development that has plagued other Costa Rican towns. Also, the waves here can get very large but are also very gentle and rolling … a great place for beginners to learn to surf (basically, I, as a beginner, can catch waves here, and Mike, an expert, can have lots of fun too)!

Such a beautiful wedding! Who designed your wedding dress? It is gorgeous!
Gorgeous! Sweet and romantic, candid and real. More weddings like this one!
@molly: I've sent an email to Ale Sura to ask about the wedding dress. Hopefully we hear back soon. Thanks for reading!
@Molly: I loved the dress too! It is a funny story actually, the bride ended up selling it to my assistant/BFF who's getting married in April! So the dress stayed in Costa Rica :)
The dress is from Priscilla of Boston, I think the designer has closed production! :(

Hi - may i ask where you got the paper wishing bags that they are letting off in the evening (I'm not sure what they are called!). thanks
If you google sky lanterns, you will find lots on online retailers. I can't remember which one I used. They were a huge hit!!!
