    Mariana of Sharing Life photo was the photographer for our wedding in Guanacaste, Costa Rica on February 20, 2024.

    Mariana exceeded all of our expectations for capturing our wedding day, She took the time to get to know me and make that connection. She provided reassurance and direction which was extremely helpful. She was on time. Her and her assistant were very professional. I absolutely love all the photos from my wedding day. I can’t stop looking at our wedding photos. Mariana is amazing! You will not regret booking her.

    Amazing Talent and Experience

    Mariana was absolutely incredible. She was completely engaged and did not miss one moment of our wedding. Mariana was able to take control to get the best photos and has an amazing style. We could not be happier and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and fun photographer. Mariana was a fan favorite of our guests and did not leave one minute to spare as she covered all angles throughout the night. Amazingly talented and the finish products were perfect. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further.

    Dan and Katie's Wedding

    Mariana was not only an expert behind the camera, but a true professional overall. She arrived on time, ready to shoot as soon as she got there. Her attention to detail and to capture the true emotion and feelings of the day of the day are unmatched. She was so approachable and responsive to all my questions ahead of time and took into consideration all the shots I asked for. We are so happy with the photographs!

    Mariana was our photographer for our wedding this past November. She was wonderful to work with every step of the way, from getting to know us and what we wanted the get out of the day all the way to capturing many, many truely incredible moments of our special day. We have an incredible set of wedding photos that we'll cherish and look back on for years to come.

    Gorgeous photos

    Mariana is so talented, she captured beautifully the simplicity and charming feel of my wedding. I spent a lot of time researching photographers, and I'm so glad I chose her. She truly has an eye for excellent pics. She captured the best moments and my favorite pics are the ones we're just being our goofy selves, and she got those too. I feel she captured perfectly the relaxed mood and vibes of the whole evening. The sunset lighting was perfect, everything was so incredibly beautiful.

    Elopement of our Dreams

    Mariana was very helpful, right from the beginning. During our first contacts, from distance, she took care to get to know us and understand our tastes and expectations. We didn't have to worry about any bureaucracy, not only was she the photographer, she also organized the rest of the things (bouquet, notary, witnesses, etc.). Our ceremony and photo session was perfect, even with the uncertain weather of Costa Rica :) Her photography skills are outstanding, showing great creativity with the photos and helping us relax to get the best shots. We have our best wedding album ever and beautiful memories of the most important day of our lives.

    Wedding/Elopement Photographer

    Mariana was an absolute dream to work with. Her work speaks for itself, but on top of that she was completely on board with all of our crazy plans (surfing right before our ceremony, etc). She did an amazing job getting creative with the photos and making us feel comfortable to get the absolute best shots. We cannot recommend her enough. She even brought along an extra witness since we were eloping, which was a huge help to us.

    Skilled Photographer with Artistic Vision

    We found Sharing Life Photography online for our Costa Rican destination wedding. We were thoroughly impressed with Mariana's responsiveness and follow-up leading up to the wedding day. She arrived on time (even early) and immediately started taking pictures, memorializing our special day. Mariana captured all of the little moments which we will treasure each time we look at our pictures. Her artistic vision reasonated, especially with the play on lighting. Mariana was attentive and knowledgeable and made sure our photos would be memorable ones. She also sent preview pics the day after our wedding so that we could share with our loved ones!

    Perfect for any occasion anywhere in the world!

    Where do we start how amazing our experience was with Mariana?! She was prompt, fun, creative, prepared, and just a beautiful person to share such an important moment in our lives. Not only did she adapt to the environment and all the last minute ideas that we threw at her, but she traveled all the way to Aruba to do so! We recommend her services as much as a human can recommend! Absolutely love her! ❤️

    Cherished Memories!

    We were vacationing in Costa Rica and decided to take engagement photos during our trip. Mariana was amazing to work with! She is professional, responsive, and really fun. She made us very comfortable from the get go. Unfortunately, I didn't see her message until later, but she even provided us with little snippets of our photo sessions on the same day! She is quick to provide the end product as well. I would recommend Mariana in to anyone.

    Mariana is talented, caring, and fun!

    We found Mariana through a quick search and instantly liked with her photo galleries, prices, and ease of communication. After meeting her over Zoom we knew we had the one. We didn’t know exactly where in Costa Rica we were going to elope but Mariana helped us along our entire process. Even when I was incredibly indecisive, she was flexible and was able to meet us at any location or city we had been deciding between. She provided advice and guidance while never making me feel pressured to rush a decision from a distance. Her passion and love of the Guanacaste region helped us make a final decision to elope in Tamarindo. On the day of our elopement, Mariana was so fun and it felt like we had a true friend photographing our private elopement. After our ceremony, she loaded us up in her vehicle and drove us around town. In our elopement session we received beautiful getting ready photos, ceremony photos, venue photos, beach photos and around town photos. She captured the ideas we had perfectly and she added her own stops on top of the ones we knew we wanted. We loved the playfulness and energy she brought to our day. We received our photographs soon after our elopement as well. It was wonderful being able to share our elopement with family and friends so soon after our return from our trip. We 100% recommend Mariana if you want a fun and adventurous elopement/wedding. She will work with you every step of the way and the photos will be beautiful :)

    More than we could have asked for....Mariana saved the day!

    60 days prior to our wedding, the photographer we had originally hired decided she was going to charge us double what we we originally quoted. In a panic I started emailing other photographers. Mariana responded within a couple hours and still had our date available. It ended up being a total blessing in disguise. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Everything went perfectly and Mariana captured every important moment including making sure we got every picture on my shot list. I truly believe everything happened for a reason and we were meant to have her all along. Mariana made us feel so comfortable, when we were up at the altar during the ceremony we didn't even know she was right next to us! Highly HIGHLY recommend Sharing Life Photography. I wish she lived local to us in the US so I could hire her for everything!!!

    Family Photos in Costa Rica!

    We had family photos taken while visiting Costa Rica this summer. Mariana was wonderful to schedule and work with! She made the experience fun and enjoyable. She is professional and creative. We love our pictures and will treasure them as a wonderful family memory from our time in Costa Rica.

    Perfection!

    Mariana is incredibly talented! I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my wedding day. Mariana captured beautiful images and truly special moments. And she was great with guiding my husband and I through our photo shoot. I felt so comfortable with her and immediately trusted her vision. We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos! I would recommend Mariana to anyone looking for someone to capture their special day.

    Amazinggg!

    Mariana's energy is so refreshing! From our first conversation I knew she was the perfect fit for my wedding photographer and Videographer. She was very professional and welcomed any ideas that I had. She captured all the perfect moments, including the fun offguards! You can tell this is a true passion for her because she builds relationships with her clients naturally and has fun while shooting. My wedding was 3 months ago and we still keep in contact! I wish I could bring her to Texas to be my personal photographer for everything, but since I can't, it just gives me another reason to fly to Costa Rica 😉
    I can't remember the videographer's name of the top of my head (sorry), but my video was better than I expected. Everyone was blown away! Unfortunately my mom passed 2 months after my wedding, but he captured our first dance and I watch it everyday. The memories this team captured was worth every penny. Thank you so much!!!
