New Blog and Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2009 – 14:10

Hi Everybody,

First off, a gainormous MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND NEW YEARS! to everybody.

I’ve been working on a new site for quite some time and my present to my-self is that I am finally launching it. Check it out here:


Richard’s new wedding photography blog-site.

That’s right, I’ve dispensed with the flash portfolio. I’ve done it because my photography is in a constant state of evolution… I look at my old work and think “Wow, I’ve come a long way”. So, the only real way to show you what I am currently up to is the blog. Right now I’ve only got a few featured weddings there but, as the season get going here in Costa Rica I’ll be adding more weddings.

Enjoy the holidays. Eat well, laugh a lot. Please, be safe.

Richard

Rachel and Dan – Osa Peninsula

September 13, 2009 – 7:46

Well, this is officially the last wedding of my season and it has brought me full circle to where I started. At the first wedding of the season in October of last year Melissa and Warren reminded me that life is about love and living.

Now, at the last wedding of the season, Rachel and Dan remind me that it also about our commitments, the ones we make to others and the ones we make to the act of living itself. They’ve taken a small detour on their way home from England to Australia to travel from the United States down through South America. On their journey home they’ve learned spanish and worked as volunteers in Guatemala before getting married in Costa Rica. Now, they’re traveling in South America.



Location: Osa Peninsula
Venue: Lapa Ríos Rainforest Ecolodge
Officiant: Marcelo Galli

The Osa Peninsula is one of the worlds most diverse ecosystems. Here, you can find more species of plants and animals per square mile than anywhere else in the world.

Richard May in Costa Rica

I’m Richard May, a destination wedding photographer living in Costa Rica. As a wedding photographer I am in a unique position to tell the story of a transformative event. As an artist I regard weddings with profound respect. The symbolism, gestures and emotions are the raw material I work with as an artist telling a story.

I keep this page up to date with my favorite images from recent weddings I have photographed. You can stay up to date on my most recent weddings by subscribing to the RSS Feed.

Take your time to browse around and leave me your comments.
