Natalie and Kenny share a deep love for nature—and each other. As passionate bird and wildlife photographers, they dreamed of a destination wedding surrounded by Costa Rica’s lush jungles and vibrant biodiversity. They found everything they were looking for and more in La Fortuna, with its cascading waterfalls, rich tropical flora, and symphony of birdsong.

Their intimate celebration started in a quiet garden, tucked away within the greenery of Arenal’s rainforest. With a soft fountain nearby and layers of foliage surrounding them made the moment so special.

Natalie and Kenny exchanged vows in front of the waterfall, sealing their commitment with rings and a kiss beneath the mistl. A toast followed with chilled sparkling wine as toucans and hummingbirds darted through the trees nearby — a dream setting for two nature lovers.

Later that evening, the celebration continued with a romantic dinner set at a rustic wooden table. Pink napkins and gold flatware dressed the setting with understated elegance, complemented by candlelight and fresh local florals. A simple white cake adorned with Costa Rican blooms was the perfect sweet ending.

Their wedding was quiet, intentional, and filled with meaning—exactly what they had envisioned: just the two of them (and a few feathered friends) in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
