Parador Resort Wedding // Lauren and Kenny

First of all let me just start out by saying that this couple has some major STYLE – from Lauren’s birdcage veil to Kenny’s cufflinks and shoes – I was swooning all day!

The stage was set for Lauren and Kenny’s wedding at the Parador Resort in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Larissa Banting of Weddings Costa Rica designed and coordinated the beautiful event and it went off without a hitch. Some of my favorite touches from the day (other than the obviously stunning bride and groom) were the bridesmaids’ pantsuits, the vibrant aisle runner for their ceremony and the homage that the couple paid to their heritage by doing the traditional jumping of the broom. In the times of slavery, couples were not allowed to marry and in turn performed a secret ceremony where they would jump the broom. Also not to be missed – one of the sweetest father/daughter first looks I’ve shot thus far.
