This elopement was the perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and romance. The couple, both nurses from Winnipeg, Canada, shared a deep connection with nature, making La Fortuna Waterfall in Costa Rica the ideal location for their intimate elopement.
Known for its dramatic 75-meter drop and vibrant surroundings, this rainforest gem provided the perfect backdrop for their big day. Despite the rain that added a mystical atmosphere, Alannah and Josh embraced the moment, using chic clear umbrellas to walk down to the waterfall. The rain only enhanced the magic, with mist rising from the falls and the greenery glowing in the soft, tropical light.
This laid back duo exchanged vows with the waterfall as the witness. The bride's bouquet had orchids and soft pops of color that contrasted beautifully with the vibrant greenery of the rainforest. The whole day had a romantic, whimsical feel.
After the ceremony, the couple embraced their adventurous side with a “trash the dress” photoshoot, diving into the cool waters of La Fortuna still dressed in their wedding outfits. The playful shoot was a perfect way for them to celebrate not only their love but their shared sense of fun and spontaneity.
The beauty of the Costa Rican rainforest and the powerful waterfall backdrop made their elopement a truly unforgettable experience. With a focus on stunning photography and the natural surroundings, Alannah and Josh’s day was simple, elegant, and full of heart. Their intimate, adventurous celebration captured the essence of Costa Rica and their unique love for each other.
