Sylvia Guardia
My interest in photography rose at a very early age, through my mom, and I have felt passionate about it ever since. I’m a professional wedding photographer based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I have been living in Playas del Coco for over 9 years, and specializing in destination wedding photography for over 10 years. I love natural light. I love that you will never experience the same light twice, and I take this to my advantage to create unique photographs for my clients. I get inspired by the different sunsets, beaches, and venues; and of course by the couples that simply shine on this special day. I focus a lot of my attention on the details, moments, emotions and composition. I love my job, and I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do!
