Don't Hesitate. Hire Sylvia before someone else does!

Sylvia is the best of the best. Professional, on-time, detail oriented. She takes incredibly beautiful photos and delivers them to you in a timely manner. I wish I had more excuses to work with Sylvia again- HIRE HER!

The best photographer you could ever work with!!!

Sylvia and her team were an absolute blast to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and provided great direction. After researching multiple photographers I always kept coming back to Sylvia's work—her photos are stunning and still look so natural. She's able to capture amazing moments between couples as well as families and friends. We definitely recommend hiring her for all your wedding/event photography needs! She also turned around an extensive preview of photos only a couple days after our wedding, which was so much fun to look through!!

Sylvia and her team are amazing!

Sylvia and her team were amazing and so easy to work with. They captured so many perfect moments and it means a lot to us that our special day was captured so beautifully. If you need photography or videography anywhere in the Tamarindo area, I would not go with anyone else!

Sylvia  Guardia
Sylvia Guardia
Main Photographer

My interest in photography rose at a very early age, through my mom, and I have felt passionate about it ever since. I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

I have been living in Playas del Coco for over 12 years and specializing in destination wedding photography for over 13 years. I love natural light. I love that you will never experience the same light twice, and I take this to my advantage to create unique photographs for my couples!

I get inspired by the different sunsets, beaches and venues; and of course by the couples that simply shine on their special day. I focus a lot of my attention on details, moments, emotions and composition.

I love my job, and I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do!
