Jesse and Adam had an amazing wedding that combined their love with their two cultures. The colors, the textures, the traditional dress, combined with their playfulness made their wedding a feast for the eyes on every level.

Jesse & Adam’s wedding was featured on Maharani Weddings.
Carla and David are from Miami, but her family is Costa Rican. So naturally, Costa Rica was the ideal place to celebrate their marriage.
I met Carla a few months prior to the wedding for a trial session and was immediately struck by her incredibly sweet and gentle spirit. I love that this came through in these beautiful photos by White Diamond.
On the wedding day, Carla was super calm. I asked if she was nervous, excited, etc. She said “No, I’m pretty relaxed.” And she was! As we sat down to start her make-up, someone suggested putting on some music. They put on a slow, romantic Spanish ballad. Within 3 notes of the song, tears started rolling down Carla’s cheeks as well as laughter from her and all of us in the room. She said “Oh my gosh, something less sentimental!” It was so funny and so cute – and I love that White Diamond caught the moment!

Jamie and Warren, from Southern California, came to beautiful Tamarindo to tie the knot at one of my favorite wedding locations, Pangas.
About an hour before our appointment, all of Costa Rica (and parts of Nicaragua and Panama!) had a power outage. Rumor was it may be out for as long as 24 hours. But Jamie, being the laid back kinda’ gal that she is, took it all in stride. We kept the doors closed (to maintain the previously cooled air) and went about getting her and her sister and mom ready for the ceremony. As luck would have it, just as we were finishing up, the power came back on.
These ladies looked amazing and White Diamond (as usual) created gorgeous photos to remember the day by.

Despite being really early in the rainy season – we had lots of rain and on the wedding day, the sky was cloudy and the water was pouring down most of the day. But as their luck would have it, just as we were finishing up with hair and make-up, the clouds parted and Mama Nature shone down her bright sun rays on the remainder of their day!
The sweetest of brides to be. Renee is from the U.S. and there she met her Brazilian husband to be, Carlos.
I spent a lovely morning and afternoon with her, her mom and Carlos’ family getting them ready for the beach front wedding in Playa Conchal. Renee has the most brilliant blue eyes, as you can see from the amazing photos taken by Dani Alda. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, well Renee’s eyes shone pure happiness, peace and contentment!

Katrina and Chris celebrated their wedding in beautiful Playa Flamingo.
The time I spend with her and her hilarious crew of friends and family could not have been any more fun and entertaining. This environment was captured perfectly in this first photo by Sylvia Guardia.

Katrina left this lovely review on my review page:
“Tricia did my wedding makeup as well as the makeup for my bridesmaids back, and we were all thrilled with how the makeup turned out. We did a trial a few days before the wedding to make sure she got down the look I was going for. I couldn’t be happier with my makeup on the day of – I looked natural both in person and in the photos, which is what I wanted. Tricia is so talented and a real pleasure to work with. I’m so glad she was part of our special day!”
The room where I spent the hours beautifying Molly, her best girls, her mom and sister was a room filled with lots of laughter and love!! And judging by the photos captured by Jonathan Yonkers, that continued through the night.
