COSTA RICA ELOPEMENT & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
You get here. I’ll take care of the rest.
Your elopement starts long before you arrive.
I’ll help you find your place, plan your day, and bring the details together — then photograph you living it.
HEY I'M MACIEJ!
You’ve probably seen a few of my waterfall photos by now. What you don’t see is everything that happened before them. The calls, finding the right location, choosing where to stay, and figuring out how the whole day will work.
That’s my part, too. Costa Rica has been my home since 2016, and I’ve photographed more than 400 elopements here. When you tell me what you’re imagining, I can start putting real places, people, and plans to it.
You don’t need to arrive with all the answers. That’s what we’ll work out together, long before you get on the plane.
Why Elope in Costa Rica?
Because your wedding deserves to be an adventure.
Imagine exchanging vows beside a waterfall, exploring a rainforest together, or ending your wedding day barefoot on a quiet beach.
Costa Rica gives you all of that, and so much more.
But finding the right place, the right light, and the right moment makes all the difference.
After 10 years exploring and photographing this country, I know where to go, when to go, and how to make the whole experience feel effortless.
Less stress. Fewer crowds. More moments you'll never forget.
