Trash The Dress Photoshoot:
The Magic of Getting Drenched in a Costa Rican Waterfall
When most people fanaticize about their dream wedding photos, they envisage a pristine dress, a perfect sandy beach, and maybe even the sea breeze in their hair. However, at DreamArt Photography, we’re all about innovation. Whilst we are still obsessed with traditional wedding photography, we also believe that sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories aren’t always captured in perfect stillness. After working with hundreds couples over the years, we appreciate that the true love story shines through the photographs when things get a little messy, wild, and untraditional. That’s exactly what a trash the dress shoot in a Costa Rican waterfall delivers!
If you're new to the idea, read on to discover why a trash the dress shoot in a Costa Rican waterfall is an amazing post-wedding photography experience.
Recently, we had the joy of photographing a couple who chose to ‘trash’ their wedding attire beneath a stunning waterfall in Costa Rica. We’re in love with the results!
What is a Trash The Dress Photoshoot?
To put it simply, a trash the dress photoshoot is about breaking boundaries and letting go. It’s a post-wedding or honeymoon shoot where the couple says ‘I do’ to stepping out of tradition and into an adventurous setting. These settings often include water, mud, sand, or nature. Of course, the shoot is not about ruining the dress for the sake of it… it’s about creating something that represents freedom and transformation; what real love is all about. A trash the dress shoot in a Costa Rican waterfall epitomizes this idea!
It's your wedding day, don’t be afraid to take a leap - literally. Whether you want to soak in a waterfall or dance in a rainstorm, we’ll be there to capture it all.
Costa Rica’s Waterfalls: The Ultimate Backdrop
We captured this particular trash the dress photoshoot with our team of DreamArt photographers in Costa Rica. Costa Rica’s unique geography renders it a dream for adventure obsessed couples. This incredible country sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea which means coastlines and inland waterfalls are often just an hour apart. The best of both worlds! There’s no denying that the jungle waterfalls offer some of the most cinematic photography locations on Earth!
Firstly, our beautiful couple tied the knot in one of our partnership hotels Dreams Las Mareas - a stunning hotel where, for years, the DreamArt Photography team have loved working with guests doing Lifestyle and Wedding photoshoots. After their formal celebrations, the couple decided to head out into the Costa Rican jungle for a trash the dress shoot beneath one of the country's hidden waterfalls. This specific waterfall in the northern lowlands of the country is to die for! The waterfall spills into a perfect turquoise pool, surrounded by leafy vegetation and volcanic foothills. In fact, it’s nestled in the Arenal Volcano region, famous for its lush biodiversity and cloud forest canopy. At DreamArt Photography, what we love about this trash the dress photoshoot location is this environment that feels both otherworldly and intimate at the same time.
This was definitely an action-packed shoot. The couple posed in many different locations around the Costa Rican waterfall. Whether they were photographed in the intimate shallow streams surrounding the waterfall, or laughing underneath the spray of cascading water, the couples’ passion was contagious!
For those couples interested in eco-luxury, or sustainable wedding options, Costa Rica is the place for you. It feels like your own natural, private paradise. It’s a special place that invites you to immerse yourself - literally - into all its natural wonders.
