Sarah & Jeremy had a wonderful wedding filled with love, family and friendship. If you were at this wedding, you would have laughed a lot and probably would have shed a few tears too.
It was so much fun to shoot with Sarah & Jeremy! They love each other so much and have so much fun together, that all I had to do was be there and my camera would to the rest as the magic was in the air-at all times!

I can never stress enough on the fact that having a professional wedding planner take care of the events behinds the scenes-hard work makes my life so much easier.  Thus, I can focus on what matters most and always be on the right place at the right time. Thank you Karen and Tropical Occasions team for an other perfect job.

Location: well, its hard to get it wrong! Manuel Antonio is simply spectacular. Add this location to all the goodness above and you get a wonderful story worth living and worth remembering!

Thank you Sarah & Jeremy, I with you the best!!

Nosara is one of those places in Costa Rica that not only describes well the feeling of a destination wedding, but it also represents an out of the common path location.
Isa & Sean had a gorgeous setting on the beach that mixed beautifully with the sound of the local marimabas and the crashing waves.
It was impossible to be in this wedding and not just absolutely love it.
Congratulations Isa & Sean!

I had been very exited to shoot a wedding at Casa Punto de Vista for a long time and I finally had the opportunity to do it.
Having this incredible villa to shoot from with the surroundings of Manuel Antonio is very much a dream case scenario for me as a filmmaker and most certainly for Kristi and David who pretty much had a perfect wedding full of emotions and beautiful details.
Larissa from Weddings Costa Rica did a job worthy of awe with a wonderful display of great wedding planning and hard work.
It was great to be part of the coming together of this two wonderful families. Blessings.

Here a quick preview of some of the shots I took for Karen & Chris in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
Although I was only hired to do their wedding video, I took a couple of candid shots in between settings.
The weddings was a wonderful display of love for friends and family- and of course, for the great love Karen and Chris have for one an other.
Karen & Chris wedding video will be coming soon!

Suzzette & Todd had a picture perfect wedding. That is how I would sum  it up.
The location at the Hilton Papagayo was beautifully matched by the decor and the planning. Not to mention that this time of the year, pretty much every single day has perfect weather. This was no exception.
Suzzette and Todd decided very last minute to have my services added to their wedding. It would have been a crime not film this wedding.
Thank you Suzzette & Todd, family and friends for letting me part of your wonderful wedding!

Tiffany and Derek are a clear picture of a couple that are very much in love and in the right path to a very long and happy life together.
The young happy couple made some great choices the day of their wedding that made a great scenario for a destination wedding. From the gorgeous rooms at La Masion Inn, to the ceremony location at Karola’s Restaurant, every single detail was perfectly well delivered and executed, nothing could have been planned better. Karen Ogden and the Tropical Occasions team did a wonderful job at organizing the event as always. Both families were very pleased and thankful with the outcome and so was I.
Tiffany & Derek may you “laugh together until it hurts”, for ever after.

Oh my god Jonathan I just cried when I watched it absolutely amazing!! I can not believe what you did with that video! -Tiffany

Krista & Darren, a lovely couple form the U.S., came all the way from Texas to get married in the lush mountains of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.
The wedding took place in Casa Fantastica, a stunning house that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
One of my favorite reasons to shoot in Manuel Antonio involve the natural beauty that surrounds you at all times no matter where you are. Manuel Antonio is a place that simply is a true natural wonder full of animals and lots of life. In Manuel Antonio it seems that you will always have exotic animals, lush forest or tropical flowers within the reach of your senses. This gives this place a very invigorating feeling and ensures a great experience for sure. Now add your wedding, close family and best friends to that and you would probably begin to guess the vibe at Krista & Darren’s most special day.

Seriously though you have amazing talent!  How you can capture the right energy by putting the shots with the right spots in the songs is really special.  Thank you so much for this, we love it! -Krista

Carley and Matt got married in one of my favorite locations in the whole world: Playa Langosta.
The point out in front of Sueño del Mar is incredible, I love the rock formations and the way the beach is shaped, becuase it allows you to play with many different angles and textures. I really think this place is hard to beat.

Carley and Matt got ready at the always nice and cozy Sueño del Mar B&B: http://www.sueno-del-mar.com/

This is my debut in the world of music videos. I worked as second camera in this fun music video shot for Octopi, a talented band from San Jose, Costa Rica.

This was my first crack at the new Glide-cam HD4000 that I just added to my arsenal.

This video was written, produced, shot and directed by Sergio Pucci.

Second camera and Glide-cam operator: Jonathan Yonkers

This music video was shot on Canon and Nikon glass and DSLR cameras.

Jen & Scott are a very cool and loving couple from California.
This wedding was shot in one of the the most beautiful areas in Costa Rica: Manuel Antonio, which is surrounded by a beautiful, lush tropical forest. This place sure makes a great place to shoot.
The day before the wedding we all went on a boat trip that turned out to be one of the most fun trips I ever had at a wedding.
