Sandy L. Sent on 08/25/2024🔥 The hype woman every bride needs to slay your wedding day!
I feel so blessed to have Adri's positive and fun energy supporting us throughout the wedding day, and it shows in the photos where everyone is bursting with joy!
Adri is one of the best in terms of the 5+ professional photoshoots i've done in my life. She not only masters the lighting and framing, but, more importanty, she brings out your "beautiful true self" in photos. Despite meeting in person for the first time during the wedding weekend, I immediately felt at ease with Adri thanks to her pre-work getting to know us and our story. She expertly directed everyone to ensure they felt comfortable and were having fun, which resulted in an insane number of incredible photos. I'm immensly grateful for the care in which she navigated the language and cultural differences given most of my family didn't speak English and we had Western and Chinese events. She was proactive in kepting me updated on the editing process and incorporated my feedback, ensuring I was thrilled with the final result.
If you're considering it, just hire Adri and it'll be one of the best decisions for your wedding! She has so much love for her brides and she'll make sure you're having a blast while capturing the best version of you! -

100 Stars! ⭐️
I would give them 100 stars if I could!!! ⭐️ From the moment Adriana and Lucas walked in, the energy was there! They made me feel so confident and comfortable while taking pictures, and encouraged a fun, vibey atmosphere! & the pictures are AMAZING. Spectacular. Everything I could’ve wanted and more. All our guests agree that Adri and Lucas’s team was the most amazing, professional, and fun team they have ever seen! They went above and beyond my expectations, and delivered photos, videos and reels that I could only dream of. I am so happy with our decision to hire them, and cannot recommend them enough for your wedding! 🤍✨ -

5 stars aren’t even enough to describe how happy we are with our choice of wedding photography. We were given a very long list of potential photographers/videographers when planning our elopement in Costa Rica, but as soon as we looked at Adri (and Lucas Films) we fell in love with her everything about their style. Beyond the actual pictures, which are absolutely incredible and capture all of the emotions of the day SO well, the way this team makes you feel on one of the most important days of your life is indescribable. They are funny, down to Earth, and make everything feel so comfortable. We met Adri on our wedding day but she made us feel like we’ve known her forever. Our wedding was an intimate elopement, but thanks to this team all of our friends and family truly feel like they got to share in our day because the photos and videos captured the love so well. We cannot begin to thank them enough. -

We hired Adri, Lucas and their team for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding photos/video in Costa Rica. Not only did our pictures and video come out so beautiful, Adri and her team are so much fun to work with! Adri is a little ball of energy and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, it's hard not to smile when you're around her. Adri was very communicative and thorough throughout the wedding planning process and she really does her due diligence to make sure she and her team are capturing the moments that are special to you. If you're looking for a talented photographer/videographer I highly recommend Adri and Lucas! -

We LOVE Adri & Lucas!
Adri & Lucas were wonderful to work with for our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer/videographer to bring the energy to your special day, then they are the perfect fit! Their team did an amazing job ensuring we felt comfortable in front of the camera while they captured all of the memorable moments of our wedding day in a candid but artistic way. Adri & Lucas took the time before the big day to get to know us and understand our priorities to ensure a stress free wedding day. They are lovely people and incredible at their job which reflect in their work. We absolutely loved working with them and love our photos/videos even more! -

I cannot say enough good things about this company. My photographer was Lucas-him and his team did an outstanding job. He captured all the beautiful details of the wedding and guests. Looking at them takes me right back to our special day. I am not a naturally photogenic person, and taking great photos doesn't come naturally for me. Lucas coached me on positioning to enhance the photos, and made me feel really comfortable with the entire experience. The finished galley is amazing. I'm so happy I chose Adri/Lucas Mendez for my wedding photography, they extended my expectations and gave me a priceless gift. -

100% recommend for your Costa Rica wedding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Adri and Lucas as our wedding photographers. From our first meeting a year before the wedding, their friendliness and energy were evident, making us feel at ease right away. On the wedding day, their presence was just as warm and engaging, seamlessly blending into the celebration.
Despite the contrasting personalities between my husband and me, working with Adri and Lucas felt incredibly natural. They paid special attention to every detail, ensuring that each moment was captured beautifully. We were thrilled to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and they were stunning! Their vision is truly magical.
We can’t thank Adri and Lucas enough for their exceptional work and are eagerly looking forward to seeing the full gallery. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented and personable photographers! -

10/10 book Adri and Lucas!
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. After jumping on a quick zoom meeting with Lucas I immediately knew we made the right choice. Communication was easy, filling out the pre-shoot questionnaire made me confident we would get the photos and style we wanted. My husband hates photos and Lucas made us feel so comfortable. He even gave us a ride back to our hotel so we didn’t need to Uber (thanks!) The final album was even larger than expected and I loved Every. Single. Photo. You won’t regret using Adri and Lucas!! -

Adri and Lucas were amazing to work with from the beginning. They want to know what pictures are most important to the couples! I love the style if their photo's so picking them was not a difficult decision. Adri and her assistant were so wonderful the day of the wedding. They capture pictures very quickly so you don't feel like you spend the whole day taking photo's. They were also so fun to have at the reception while they were getting candids of guests dancing!
We received SO many photo's of our wedding day, it's hard to narrow down the favorites! We have received so many compliments on the quality of our photo's from friends. I would highly recommend Adri and Lucas to capture the special moments of your day! -

I had a list of photos I wanted, and Adri captured them all, right down to the little details. My husband and I are both camera shy and she helped make the photo sessions less awkward. Her professionalism and eye for detail is key. The way she captures the natural light is unlike any other photographer I have seen. My husband and I are so happy with our photos/video. Adri and Lucas were such a warm and welcoming team and I could not be happier with the outcome of their work. 10/10 would recommend them for your wedding day! -

What an amazing experience!
Lucas was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we reached out, there was open communication and quick responses. We were nervous as we never had professional photos done before but upon meeting we both instantly felt comfortable. Lucas and Jurgan were very personable and both easy going so during the shoot we were able to relax, joke around, and never felt rushed. They also didn't hesitate to have fun and even got in the water with us! We were looking for an intimate, memorable and adventurous day and feel like that was fully accomplished thanks to their help and suggestions.
Our sneak peak came so quickly and instantly had me in tears. We couldn't be happier with our choice, we would highly recommended and would book with them 1000x again.
Thank you both again for such an amazing experience and capturing such beautiful, candid moments for us to look back on for years to come!

Worth every single penny
I don’t have enough words to express how amazing Adri and her team are. She showed up with so much energy and excitement! I let her know ahead of time we needed all the directions because we don’t ever take photos and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Received our sneak peaks only a few after and we are in love, so excited to see the rest! -

If you’re searching for a wedding photographer who will not only meet but exceed every expectation, Adri and her team are the perfect choice! From start to finish, they made us feel completely at ease and captured every magical moment with exceptional skill. Their presence brought an incredible sense of joy to our celebration, making it feel like we had extra friends with us who effortlessly blended into the festivities, ensuring everyone felt special.
Adri's commitment to excellence was evident from the very beginning. Before our wedding, she sent us a thoughtful packet of recommendations and tips, which was incredibly helpful in preparing us for the big day. Despite the intense Costa Rican heat leaving us all sweaty, Adri's expertise ensured that the photos came out flawless—our glowing smiles and joyful expressions took center stage, while the heat was nowhere to be seen.
Adri and her team went above and beyond, delivering not just the photos we had hoped for but so much more. Every cherished moment of us and our loved ones was beautifully preserved, from the deeply emotional to the delightfully fun. The sneak peek we received was nothing short of stunning, and the full collection arrived right on schedule with even more photos than we had anticipated, leaving us absolutely thrilled.
If you want a photographer who combines unparalleled creativity with a personal touch, capturing both the serious and playful moments with mastery, Adri and her team are simply outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and wholeheartedly recommend them! -

When I saw Adriana’s work online, I knew I had to have her as our photographer. Photos are arguably one the most important parts of a wedding, and Adri and her team carried out our vision seamlessly, producing only high quality photos and the most beautiful work. We’ve worked with multiple photographers throughout our solidarity/unity journey from NYC to Costa Rica, and Adriana was easily our favorite. I would recommend her and her team over and over again to anyone who needs a photographer. They captured the most beautiful pictures of the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. -

Adri Mendez absolutely made our wedding day dreams come true. Starting by helping us plan a destination wedding from afar, she was able to answer questions about the resort and helped create our day of timeline. On our wedding day, Adri and her team completely lifted all the stress off of Josh and I by providing such positive energy and by helping us be where we needed to at the right time. They helped our day flow so smoothly. Her and her team also felt like friends, and kept Josh and I laughing and loving on each other, allowing her to capture beautiful and natural photos that didn’t feel forced or posed. She made sure to capture ample photos of our wedding guests having the time of their lives as well. Josh and I just received all our photos, and had the absolute best time reliving that day together, both crying and laughing. The photos are filled with emotion and do a phenomenal job of telling the story of our day. I cannot recommend Adri & her team enough for the best wedding day experience as well as capturing stolen moments to help you live that day over and over again. -

Adri is AMAZING! She is professional, responsive, energetic, personable, funny, and SO talented. You will not only wind up with the most beautiful images of your special day, but you will feel like your best friend is the photographer. She has the biggest heart, and it shows through her personality and her work. We were blown away when we received our images from our wedding day. They were beautiful, candid, and you could feel the emotions of the day through the images. She is a rock star, and we are so grateful for her and her talent. We cannot recommend Adri enough! -

Adri is not only the sweetest and most positive person, but she is amazing at what she does. We chose her for our wedding in Tamarindo through Mil Besos and could not be happier with the photos and overall experience. She captured natural moments with beautiful lighting and perspective that far exceeded our expectations. She was efficient, prompt, and a joy to have around during our big day! She is the best! -

We cannot even begin to explain just how overjoyed we are with the work of Adri and her team. She went ABOVE and BEYOND to provide us with the BEST possible experience, and far exceeded our expectations. From the very start, she guided us through the entire experience, not only providing us with all the information we needed from a planning perspective, but the support we needed even emotionally (as you know, wedding planning is no easy feat!). We knew through our very first video call that she was our girl (in fact, she was the first and only photographer we chatted with and we felt THIS confident with our decision).
She kept everything fun, exciting, and stress-free leading up to and on the big day (an absolutely amazing hype girl!) – she took the time to get to know our friends and family, and made sure everyone was having a great time! We laughed a LOT with her and just had the best time. She has a natural talent and exceptional skill, and is just phenomenal at what she does.
We can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for us and the incredible photos and videos they captured (you get a ton of them, and they are all so magical, it’s hard to choose your favourites to frame). We get to relive our wedding day for the rest of our lives thanks to their AMAZING work.
We can go ON and ON about just how incredible Adri and her team are…but truly, if you are looking for a wedding photographer, we highly encourage you to choose them, as you will not be disappointed. We love Adri and her team, and feel even more so, the bond we formed through the experience feels like we’ve gained new friends. Easily, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.
Thank you, Adri, Lucas, Dharma, and Jurgen, for making our wedding an extraordinary and timeless experience!

We hired Adri and Lucas for our wedding in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica after being impressed with their portfolio. They have extraordinary style and a unique awareness of what makes for a special memory. Lucas was our primary shooter, but both were so lovely and fun to work with. They captured the candid moments and fun of our event in ways we'll always be grateful for. 1000% percent happy with our decision to work with them. -

I fell in love with her work right away and was so lucky to book her for my wedding! Adri and her husband made the photos so fun. I always feel awkward and she helped us rid of that awkwardness. The guests also loved her and she helped lighten the mood when the downpour was coming during our wedding photos. She was so quick and sent us a sneak peek a week after the wedding. I'd highly recommend to anyone as she'll feel like your friend by the end of the night. Thank you Adri!! -
