Look No Further for Your Costa Rica Wedding Photographers!

I cannot say enough nice things about the team at Adri & Lucas Photography. If you are getting married in Costa Rica, hire them—it will be the easiest decision of your planning, and you won't regret it! They communicated perfectly before, during, and after our big day, and their local knowledge was invaluable in getting all the right shots. On the day of, the team divided and conquered, brought great creative ideas, and kept us on track while remaining super flexible. But the absolute best part was their energy and understanding of people. They know how to bring the energy up while keeping everyone calm at the same time. They truly work magic in making everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Our full gallery is beyond gorgeous—the lighting, vibrant colors, candid reactions, and sunset shots are everything we could have hoped for and more!

Destination Wedding in Costa Rica

We had the pleasure of working Adri for our destination wedding in Tamarindo. From our very first Zoom meeting, we knew Adri would be able to capture our special moments and give us the energy we needed. She was enthusiastic and filled with so much love, you could tell she would pour her heart into our pictures. We received our gallery and we were amazed at how beautiful our photos are. The only problem we have is choosing which ones are our favorites, there’s too many.

Incredible team, incredible photos and videos

The Adri/Lucas team were incredible for our elopement photography session! We had Lucas, Dharma and Jurgen with us and their energy was amazing. They were so good at directing us and helping us feel at ease. They knew how to get the best shots and angles and were totally up for anything! We also appreciated how they went above and beyond for us. They literally picked us up for our hotel and drove us to multiple sites at 5am to get the best lighting and avoid crowds. The day we actually booked with them, we got rained out in the afternoon (wet season in Costa Rica!) so we lost half the day. The team stayed an extra night in the area so we could do a second day of shooting at no extra cost. We are so, so grateful. That level of commitment to the shoot was totally above anything we expected.

The photos, the gifs and the video are truly heirlooms keepsakes we will treasure forever. The team is so talented and they are all such lovely, hilarious people!

Best photo/video team in Costa Rica!

We honestly don’t even know where to begin with how happy we are we chose Adri and Lucas as our photos and video team- our experience and end product are beyond anything we could have imagined.

The moment we opened the gallery, it felt like we were reliving the entire day. We laughed, we cried, and somehow every single emotion was captured so beautifully and authentically.

The range and quality are of photos unmatched. Videos were delivered in a rage of formats- all were truly cinematic. Both feel modern yet timeless, artistic yet natural. We still can’t believe these are our photos and video.

Beyond the final product, the experience working with the team was just as amazing. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, kept things fun and easy, and brought such a great energy to the day. It genuinely felt like we were just hanging out and enjoying ourselves, which made such a difference.

Their expertise and professions is invaluable. When our original venue canceled 8 months out, they were an incredible resource offering guidance, sharing their knowledge of Costa Rica, and helping us feel confident through the transition. They truly know all the venues, all the other vendors, and can work with any setting, lighting, or weather and make it look stunning.

In the lead-up to the wedding, they also provided thoughtful advice and support that helped us feel prepared and at ease posing, prepping for group photos, getting ready, and helping us to prioritize shots, timelines, etc.

They are unbelievably talented, professional, and passionate about what they do. We feel so lucky to have had them capture our wedding and to have these memories forever.

We cannot recommend them enough. 💖

We cannot recommend Lucas and Team enough. They did such an amazing job and treated us like family as soon as we met. They took all our ideas and made them a reality.

Adri and Lucas's team were absolutely phenomenal! Me and my husband are both naturally introverted and camera shy but they were both so patient, energetic, warm, kind, and helped us both feel comfortable 😊 Really appreciated all the great ideas and suggestions for photos as well! They really captured our wedding and we are ecstatic with how beautiful the photos came out! So glad we chose them as our photographers 💓

The Most Incredible Experience

Adri and her team were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they were timely, professional, and true experts at what they do. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but somehow they made us feel completely at ease. Adri communicated poses so clearly and naturally, which helped us loosen up and actually enjoy the process. The experience felt effortless, and the results were exactly what we hoped for. We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team to capture such an important day! It is worth every penny to hire this team!!
