Your Day done Your Way

You and your significant other, packing your bags, jetting off to your dream destination, and tying the knot in a spectacular location with an intimate (or big) setting surrounded by your favorite people. If that excites the heck out of you- then it’s time to considering a destination wedding!

Just Imagine

What is an Intimate or Destination Wedding?

Intimate weddings & destination weddings strike the perfect balance between running away together and a more traditional ceremony. While the guest list may be small, the feels will be BIG.

PERFECT FOR THOSE LOOKING TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX WITH ~50 PEOPLE OR LESS

If we got anything good from the pandemic, it is intimate/micro weddings! Whatever you want to call them. They have a million names because there are a million options on how these days can look for you!

What it’s like with us as your photographers?

Allie Huber

We had an engagement pictures, and I love them more than any other photo session I’ve had! Karlie was so determined to help me find the perfect setting and was great at helping me with fun poses. Marcelo was very intelligent with the equipment and knew just what he was doing. They truly make the perfect team, & I’m so impressed by their talent. I would highly recommend a session with them! They will make any occasion look great!
Kahlie- Wedding Videography

“We couldn’t recommend Pura Vida Media more! They worked hard to get the best shots of us and our venue. Their turnaround time was also amazing! I would recommend this company to all my friends and family . We are SO happy we have these videos to look back on, forever.”
Courtney Westcott- Family Session

Karlie & Marcelo we’re so easy to work with & made our family session everything we could have asked for and more. They took us to an amazing park with great views. Highly recommend!
