Abby and Kevin employed the services of wedding planner Barbara Broutin from FourNineteen Weddings for their wedding at the new El Mangroove, hotel in Bahía Papagayo, Costa Rica. I have to say that every wedding Barbara plans totally amazes me with spectacular photos ideas and each one surpasses the previous. El Mangroove a new hotel and spa in northern Guanacaste also proved to be a wonderful wedding location for Abby and Kevin’s Costa Rica destination wedding.
The day starts with the wedding photographers capturing photos of Abby and Kevin preparing for their special day. Abby had a beautiful bridal bouquet of white & green roses, white & green hydrangea, white freesia, white cymbidium orchids, white cala lilies, while Kevin had a white orchid lei. The wedding photographers were able to get some great shot of Abby getting ready for the ceremony and also Abby and Kevin’s first look before the ceremony. It is wonderful to be able to capture the looks and expressions of special moments that will be cherished forever.
