Pure creativity, energy to burn with a passion for her craft

Micha pours every ounce of herself into her photography. Unlike some shooters who just take pictures, she truly lives the process and becomes a part of your family for the duration. It is that humanity that shines through in her photos. She is always looking for that best/unique angle, use of light and surroundings. She puts everyone at ease, has this warm yet "get-it-done" style which keeps the timeline moving without stress. A photographer has 3 major jobs: Set the tone. Tell the story. Keep things moving on time. Costa Vida Photography excels at all three and as you can see from the extensive gallery, years of experience back me up. She is also very flexible on the size of wedding, travel, changes and does any kind of shoot you can imagine. With an extensive knowledge of The Florida Keys, South Florida, Houston, Costa Rica and many other areas, she can assist with locales and recommendations. My heart is filled with joy from my photos and memories of our time with Micha. and CVP.

Wonderful Photographer and Truly Amazing Artist!

Micha Vandiver of Florida Keys Wedding Photography is an absolute artist! Her attention to detail, her friendly personality and her professionalism is what we are still raving about with her service. She and her assistant were one of the few vendors on time at our Bakers Cay (Key Largo, FL) wedding. She helped to calm me when my planner went MIA during the reception. She took charge and didn’t skip a beat while wearing multiple hats that day. We had the link to our images within 2 weeks and she even sent us a few gift prints and beautiful card after our honeymoon. We had exceptional service from start to finish. As a past bride and now friend of hers, I think she is solid people and one of the most professional and artistic vendors in the industry here in the Keys. She also recently bought an Eco Lodge in Costa Rica if you want to get married there! We just honeymooned there and it was incredible. Hire her. Now.

Owner / Artist / Lead Photographer

I have been a wedding photographer for over 15 years and have lived and traveled around the world during that time. On my many journeys around the world Costa Rica was always a place that I visited atleast a few times a year. It held a very special place in my heart and it became a part of my soul that I couldn't ignore. When I would catch myself dreaming it was always dreaming of Costa Rica. So after many years of traveling and many dreams later we bought property here. FAST FORWARD 5 years later and we now own a unique Bed & Breakfast where we host intimate all inclusive weddings in Dominical, Costa Rica. We live on the property and currently have 4 private bungalows, all with ocean view.

We service Dominical, Ojochal, Uvita, Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Playa Hermosa, Jaco, San Jose, Escazu and all of Costa Rica. We travel worldwide with USA offices in the Florida Keys.

We work with a wonderful group of vendors in the area and are here to help with all of your photographic and wedding planning needs.

As a Photographer, I have a photojournalistic style of shooting that is modern yet classic, capturing the story of the entire wedding day while capturing all those special moments and details that truly matter. Capturing real moments in time is what I am most passionate about.

Honestly, I can't think of a better place for a Destination Wedding and we are here to guide you and of course photograph your magical Costa Rican Wedding! This is your day! I want to make sure that all my couples enjoy their wedding experience and have the most fun & memorable time of their lives!

Timeless Photographs, a Happy Loving Couple & A Passion for What I Do- is what its all about!
