About Michaelynn

For more than 20 years, I have photographed weddings with a photojournalistic style that is both modern and timeless. My goal is to tell the complete story of your wedding day, capturing not only the big moments, but also the genuine emotions, meaningful details, and unexpected moments that make your celebration uniquely yours.

Capturing real moments in time is what I am most passionate about. The laughter, happy tears, stolen glances, and all the little moments in between are the memories that become priceless over the years.

My photography career has taken me all over the world, but few places have inspired me as much as Costa Rica. After spending nearly two decades visiting and then several years living there full-time, it became a place I will always call home. While my family has recently relocated back to Key Largo in the beautiful Florida Keys, Costa Rica remains a huge part of my life, and I continue to photograph weddings and work with clients in both destinations.

Having lived, traveled, and photographed throughout Costa Rica for so many years gives me a unique perspective when helping couples plan their destination wedding experience. Whether you're exchanging vows on a tropical beach, overlooking the rainforest, or celebrating in the Florida Keys, I love helping couples create a wedding day that feels authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable.

This is your day. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, present, and able to enjoy every moment while I document your story naturally as it unfolds.

Timeless photographs, a happy couple and a genuine passion for what I do—that's what it's all about.

 

About Michaelynn

As a Photographer for over the last 20 years, I have a photojournalistic style of shooting that is modern yet classic, photographing the story of the entire wedding day while documenting all those special moments and details that truly matter. Capturing real moments in time is what I am most passionate about.

 

I have lived and traveled around the world during that time. On one of my many journeys, Costa Rica was always a place that I visited at least a few times a year. It held a very special place in my heart and it became a part of my soul that I couldn't ignore. When I would catch myself dreaming it was always dreaming of Costa Rica. So after many years of traveling and many dreams later we bought our second home here. We now own a unique Bed & Breakfast and we host intimate all inclusive weddings, here in Dominical, Costa Rica.

 

Honestly, I can't think of a better place for a Destination Wedding and we are here to guide you and of course photograph your magical Costa Rican Wedding!

 

This is your day! I want to make sure that all my couples enjoy their wedding experience and have the most fun & memorable time of their lives!

 

Timeless Photographs, a Happy Loving Couple & A Passion for What I Do-

is what its all about!
