Jonathan,

Travis got back into town and we watched all our wedding videos together last night and I just have to say W-O-W.
We absolutely LOVED them all and I cannot express my gratitude. I am overwhelmed, you have captured our wedding in such a beautiful and artistic way.
It’s completely perfect and exactly what I wanted.
…we both thought the scenery and the time lapse effect from evening to night was just magical. And one of many of my favorite parts, in addition to how magnificent the color and resolution were, was how you perfectly captured Travis’ first look and reaction to the ceremony, just as I had remembered it.
So, thank you so much again Jonathan, I will sing your praises wherever I go.
Best of luck in all your future endeavors and I hope we cross paths again in the future. Maybe our 25th year anniversary at Villa Paraiso? Until then. :)
Yours sincerely,
-Sarah & Travis

Getting married in abroad will always involve a lot of logistics. This is why I can not stress enough on my clients the importance of getting a local and professional wedding planner that will take care of logistics for you.

Here an other factor of vital importance to a successful wedding: location, location, location! If you have faith to move mountains but have no location, you have nothing!

Having a location such as Villa Paraiso, in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, not only will make logistics more manageable from a filmmaker’s points of view, but it also provides the wedding video with a gorgeous scenario taken right out of a movie.
Villa Paraiso, sits right on top of a mountain over looking the Pacific Ocean. The view is nothing short of breath taking.

Having the wedding ceremony and reception in the same place, means more effective time to shoot video and photos since there won’t be changing of locations.
Once you add simple logistics to a breath taking location I think you have a perfect math for a wedding.
I highly recommend Villa Paraiso as a wedding location. It worked out great for Sarah & Travis and their wonderful wedding.
