Arenal volcano weddings

Arenal Volcano is the perfect location for romantic and adventure weddings. Imagine the idea of having a wedding ceremony near one of the most strange but beautiful volcanoes in the world; the Arenal volcano. Or let your love bloom beneath tropical rain forest by the Fortuna waterfall.

Arenal Volcano weddings are for people who are head over heels in love with the beauty of nature. Arenal volcano and volcanic lake are truly mysterious nature spots. During the ceremony you will realize that nothing can be better than the fantastic views and natural decoration; but also the freshness of the air that you will enjoy there is truly magical.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I say enough great things about Fabián whom I hired for my surprise proposal. From the very beginning, he was absolutely amazing—helping me plan every detail and even pretending to be a tourist so my fiancée (now fiancée 😄) wouldn’t suspect a thing. He captured the entire moment perfectly, from the surprise on her face to the raw emotion of the “yes.” After the proposal, he guided us through poses and spots that made for stunning, natural-looking shots. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and the photos turned out better than we ever imagined. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to not just take pictures—but to help create a moment you’ll never forget—this is your guy. I highly, highly recommend him!

He was very kind and affordable and captured the exact vibe we wanted. He was also incredibly understanding and flexible after we rescheduled our trip 3 times due to illness/family reasons. I highly recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute best experience working with Fabian for our wedding in Costa Rica near Arenal Volcano. And not only did he capture stunning photos of our ceremony and our guests, but he also planned and led us on an epic “wreck the dress” adventure hike to several waterfalls a couple days later — the photos are just incredible. Words can't do them justice. Fabian is a phenomenal communicator, extremely professional, and easy going. He speaks excellent English too, which made everything feel easy and seamless since we only know a little Spanish. Beyond that, he’s just a genuinely fun, kind, and hilarious person to be around. He made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the entire experience felt more like hanging out with a friend than a photoshoot. We honestly can’t wait to go back to Costa Rica just to have Fabian take our family portraits someday. Our family has been talking about it already and they haven't even seen how awesome the photos are yet! Working with him was an unforgettable highlight of our wedding week. If you’re considering booking him — do it. You won’t regret it! Thank you again for everything, Fabian!! -Ryan & Gina

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were vacationing in Costa Rica and fell in love with this beautiful place. We decided we wanted to get married while we were there. I found a wedding officiant and he gave me Fabián’s name as a wedding photographer. From my first contact with Fabián, he was amazing. Sending me pictures of different locations to help me select the right place, he helped me find a florist and someone to do my hair and makeup. On our wedding day, Fabián went above and beyond. He took the most breath taking pictures and even continued to do our pictures when it started to rain. We can not thank him enough. Our pictures are amazing!
