Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience with Eric and Meli in Costa Rica

We recently had the pleasure of working with Eric and Meli for our destination wedding (Jan 2023) in Costa Rica, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very beginning, they exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, creativity, and attentiveness.

We had two initial Zoom meet and greet sessions to discuss our vision and special requests, which included creating one-minute videos and executing particular photo shoot styles. Eric and Meli were not only great listeners, but they were also incredibly accommodating and understanding of our unique needs. Their responsiveness was a breath of fresh air, especially in comparison to other vendors we encountered in Costa Rica.

Over the course of three days, we met with Eric and Meli for various photoshoots. Each day, they were prompt, on time, and ready to capture the essence of our love story. Their professionalism and expertise allowed us to feel confident and relaxed throughout the entire process.

Weddings can undoubtedly be stressful, but knowing that we were in good hands with Eric and Meli alleviated a significant amount of our worries. They managed to make the experience not only stress-free but also enjoyable and memorable.

In summary, we had a fantastic experience with Eric and Meli as our wedding photographers in Costa Rica. Their ability to listen, accommodate, and capture our special moments with such grace and skill has left us with memories we will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Eric and Meli to anyone seeking talented, reliable, and professional photographers for their special day.

Amazing Work!!!

My husband and I had a very intimate, laid back wedding, so pictures/video were important to us. Mel and Eric were the perfect pick! They met with us through zoom a few months prior to traveling to Costa Rica, to get an idea of what we wanted to include for our special day. On the day of our wedding, they were very professional, super sweet, and captured the day perfectly. The pictures were stunning and the video was absolutely amazing! Their work was exactly what we wanted. We now have gorgeous memories of our wedding day for a lifetime. Highly recommend!

A Day to Remember

Wow, we couldn't be happier with Meric Photography. Our day was absolutely perfect in every little detail and choosing the best photographers was a huge part of that.

I'm not one to enjoy being the center of attention, especially not on camera, but these two did an absolutely incredible job creating a professional yet relaxing environment to capture what we feel like are the most beautiful wedding photos we've ever seen.

Something important for me was not feeling like our wedding was a photoshoot. These two really did an amazing job capturing each moment without taking away from the organic feel and flow of our wedding. You can tell they know their stuff, helping to set up poses and ideas for photos. We were absolutely shocked to see the final product. More than just photography, Meric created art!

We are so honored to have shared our special day with Meric and couldn't feel happier with our decision to hire them as photographers. If you're on the fence, just book it! You will not be disappointed.
