Mike + Brian's Commitment Cermony | Destination Wedding | South Florida Photographer

Mike & Brian celebrated their commitment to each other

with their family and closest friends

in a very spiritual and sentimental ceremony

at the La Ceiba Tree Lodge in Costa Rica.

The ceremony site was the base of this ceiba tree that

towered over us at about 200 feet while the

breath-taking Arenal lake surrounded us below.

Family and friends were asked to join hands and

create a circle of unity, a circle of life at the base of the tree.

Everyone was asked to remove their shoes and stand bare foot

in the grass to have a more intimate experience

with the encompassing beauty.

After Mike & Brian exchanged vows and rings, the participants

in the circle were given the opportunity to say a blessing for the couple.

It was a very heartfelt dedication and not to mention,

not a dry eye within the circle.

Congratulations to you both!

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your special moment.

Here are a few of my personal faves from the rest of my trip.

I was amazed at how colorful this tree was.

(And how big the bugs were!)
