    Sergio was amazing. He captured so many beautiful moments of us and our family as we renewed our vows on our 25th anniversary.

    We are so honored to have Sergio photograph our vow renewal on our 25th anniversary. He captured all our emotions as we celebrated and the beauty of our dream ceremony on the beach. I highly recommend Sergio. His talent has given us so many amazing pictures that we cherish.

    Diego and his assistant shot our Guanacaste beach wedding in early November 2017. They were very professional, very organized, and very flexible when timing of activities was off and even stayed late past their end-time to get some good party shots. Working with Jeff via email was always easy. I have such beautiful pictures to remember our special day. Thanks for putting up with us and the flabongo!

    Stories Wedding Photography Costa Rica's reply:

    Thank you Kaitlin and Zak for the nice review. It has been a pleasure to work with you. I did already pass the review on to Diego and Jose, they love getting reviews.
    Thanks again,
    Jeff

    Meghan at Our Costa Rica Wedding referred Diego to us for our dream wedding in Manuel Antonio. We are so happy she did!! He was a delightful, fun-loving and sweet. He instantly put any uneasiness about having your photo taken to rest and made our day really fun. We have even kept in touch! Jeff was also great in keeping in contact with us and answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. We would use Stories photography again and recommend them to anyone.

    Thank you Melissa, it has been a real pleasure to work with you and Meghan at Our Costa Rica Wedding does wonderful work. Hope you will be visiting Costa Rica again and happy that you loved your photos.

    My husband and I booked Diego for our wedding and we were beyond impressed with his professionalism and humbleness. Our wedding was held in my home town in a very remote area of Nicoya peninsula and Diego managed to be there so punctual, with a big smile and ready to capture with his cámara the most special moments of our big day! Diego was so down to earth and did his best to help us feel comfortable at all times. Our pictures are beyond our dreams, we have gotten so many great compliments so much that it's being almost impossible to keep up with FB/Intagram likes and comments lol
    Kudos to Jeff and his team for their professional/friendly communication via email. It was a pleasure to work with them.

    It was great to work with Diego and his assistant, Jose. We had a chance to chat by Skype before the wedding day and Diego had some great ideas that helped us reorganize a few moments in the itinerary to make sure we caught the sunset. It totally paid off! The photos are incredible, we can't thank you enough for capturing our special day!

    Do it! Diego and his assistant were absolutely amazing. They accommodated my request for a sunset shoot as well as capturing our sunrise ceremony. The pictures were fantastic! I can't express how impressed I was with them. They were also both genuinely nice and even gave us a little wedding present :) Jeff, went above and beyond with helping me answer questions and ALWAYS immediately got back to me. I'm so glad we chose Stories Photography for or wedding.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Stories Wedding Photography. The business office was very prompt in answering all of my questions/emails, Sergio and Diego were SO professional at the wedding (I barely even noticed them during the ceremony/reception), and the photos were WONDERFUL! I've gotten so many compliments on the photography from our wedding and I know that is due to Sergio and his team at Stories Wedding Photography. I would definitely recommend them to others!!

    My husband and I booked Diego as our wedding photographer through our planner because we liked how Stories' style was more natural and less of the posed, awkward shots. Diego was so down to earth and willing to trek through all sorts of muggy, rainy weather to get a good shot. The photos are beautiful and capture genuine moments. We could not be more thrilled with the results.

    The Stories wedding photography was amazing! We got married in a super remote area of the Osa Peninsula, and they made our experience and photos fantastic. Not only were they fun, but they gave us great direction and really got in there for the photos. I would definitely recommend them!

    We love love love our wedding photographs!
    Our wedding shoot was very organic and fun. Sergio understood what we wanted easily, he is quick and great and makes the best out of the light and moment which makes the photographs unique. He was able to translate the magic of the moment perfectly which helps us revisit that day wonderfully.
    Also for us it was very important, as lovers of photography, that the photographs were not just traditional photographs. Sergio is an artist, and his sensibility, creativity and talent make the absolute difference, which is exactly what we were looking for!
    When we opened the photographs for the first time we were so happy to see so many surprises and layers of "wows"!

    I had the privilege of working with Jeff for about a year planning every detail needed for the perfect pictures. For me the wedding pictures were one of the most important things on our special day. our pictures sincerely look like they belong in a magazine! Sergio and his assistant dropped to the floor when needed to truly capture a moment, they sincerely went out of their way to make things perfect! Thanks to them I was able to capture from the moment my dad and step dad came together and walked me down like a princess, the moment when my mother joined my hand with my husband, to the moment my dream came true having my 104 year old great grandma with me on my special day. Thanks to them I will be able to relive these moments with family,friends and future children. Can put into words how thankful we are to have had the privilege of having them as our photographers. Very reasonable price for the attention and quality they give. I can say with confidence I have the best wedding pictures a girl could ever dream of!

    If you want to hire the best photographer in Costa Rica and have the best photographs possible of your wedding, you don't have to look any further. Sergio and his team are the best in the business. Not only are the professional, responsive, and genuinely nice people, but they will present you with the best pictures possible.

    Yes, their prices are not cheap but once you get the results you will understand why. Every penny is worth it! They are successful in capturing every moment you are wishing they capture. My husband and I didn't notice them through the entire wedding, they just seem to scatter around the venue and take the best pictures you could possibly imagine. Also, when we wanted to capture a special moment, magically they were always there to capture it. I have no complaints at all and recommend their services to anyone anywhere, whether your wedding is in the beach, city, or mountain. You will not go wrong choosing their services and you will be thanking yourself you chose them when you get your photos. Absolutely perfect!

    Sergio is a big deal in Costa Rican photography. He publishes coffee table books with beautiful pictures taken from around the country. We wanted wedding pictures that would highlight the natural beauty surrounding us, rather than weird closeups of our faces or awkward poses. I explained this to Sergio in 3 minutes before he started shooting and the photographs we got back were amazing. He captured the sunset on the beach like it was a dream. The day was perfect and now I have the photographs to go with it!

    Costa Rica Perfection

    Coming from the United States and loving photography as much as I do; I believe there is no one better that can take your pictures and Stories Wedding Photography! I wanted someone with the creativity and talent that I did not have to worry about what kind of images I was going to end up with. Their breath of work and also their customer service skills are amazing. We were very specific on things that we did one and did not want and they accommodated all of our wishes perfectly. I believe they have some of the most amazing photographs that I have seen and I feel blessed that I have their images to remember our special day for the rest of our life!

    The Stories Wedding Photography team captured some really wonderful images of our special day. We selected them because we really liked the vibrant images and feeling of excitement that shines through in their portfolio and they were an excellent value. Our day was a bit hectic due to rain, but all they kept up well in the 5 hours there, they caught all the highlights made the most of our few settings/venues. They were also very quick on returning the photos to us to enjoy. We recently revisited our album, just after our 1 year anniversary and it was lovely to see our Wedding Day brought back to life by these beautiful images. I would re-hire this vendor and recommend them to others.

    Diego and his partner did a fabulous job and we couldn't be happier with our photos. We loved that Diego was able to capture some beautiful, in the moment shots. Everything turned out really natural looking, not over-posed which you often see with wedding photos. Thank you so much!

    We had Stories photograph our wedding at the Pangas Beach Club in February 2017 and the pictures came out beautifully. Sergio and his assistant were with us for most of the wedding day, and they did such a great job capturing all of the emotions, moments, and décor that made up our big day and also capturing the beautiful surroundings of our wedding venue. They were professional and made the experience feel so relaxed (even if our smile muscles did not - ha!). I highly recommend Sergio - we’ll treasure these photographs forever!

    Sergio is an amazing photographer, many of the photo books in Costa Rica are actually done by him, he just happened to start getting into Weddings a couple years ago, but he did an amazing job and I am very satisfied with my photos.

    Our wedding photos were beautiful -- outdoor shots, sunset and nighttime party. Sergio and his team are total pros!! The price was a bit higher than some of the other local options, but the results were well worth it. My only regret - and this is partially because I should have been more clear in shot list - is that I don't have photos of some of my family members or groups.
