Crystal+Jason: Tambor, Costa Rica

It’s with great excitement that we present to you all, Jason and Crystal’s wedding photos and a little video Kevin managed to shoot too! When Crystal and Jason told us they were getting married, and in COSTA RICA (YESSS!!) we were incredibly excited for them. And when they told us they wanted XOXO Wedding Photo to be there, we were HONORED and THRILLED!

Crystal and Jason are two of the sweetest, most hilarious people you’ll ever meet! And if you ever do, there is a 100% chance you will be part of an adventure with them. Kevin definitely had an adventure, (or five), with the newlyweds while shooting them on the gorgeous tropical beaches of Tambor, Costa Rica. He was quite spoiled, as he got to stay with Jason, Crystal and their wedding parties at the gorgeous Villa Katino, a home nestled in the jungles with AMAZING ocean views. (see panorama below)
The touching ceremony was held on the rocky and beautifully pre-historic looking beaches near Playa Carmen. In front of God, their dearest friends, and the great Pacific, Crystal and Jason exchanged their vows. As Kevin’s trip came to a close, he made sure to get as much time with the newlyweds as he could! It was definitely hard to say good-bye but the memories he captured will let him, Jason, Crystal, all of the great people he met and befriended relive such a unforgettable time! Kevin’s alternate title for this wedding is “Manhunts, Mel Gibson and The Missing Newlyweds”. Lot’s of stories from this trip! Enjoy!

My goal for this destination wedding was photography. That being said I did shoot some hand held video here and there.
Heres a edit of some of the video i shot.

    We had no idea Kevin was even shooting video during his short time with us especially since he was without his better half (Stephanie – we wish you could have made it)! In addition to the wonderful images captured, surprising us with a video was purely icing on the cake (disclaimer: I don’t actually eat icing, but I vaguely remember it to be quite delicious on top of cake). We love Kevin and Stephanie’s photographic interpretation of our individual personalities and documenting the joy we shared in creating our perfect union abroad. The aphrodisiacal qualities of their work have left us both very satisfied. High-five.

      HAHAHA!!!
      Best Comment ever!!!
      Laughing so hard right now!!!
      High-fives indeed!
      Again, Karl and I are sorry for inadvertently stranding you two on the other side of the country with no money, cell phone and nothing more then a rock to sit on!

      PS- Your right on the money about icing. It’s usually quite delicious!
