Hi, I'm Sylvia

 

Let's get to know each other!

Portrait of Sylvia Guardia, a luxury destination wedding photographer based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

My love for photography began at an early age, inspired by my mother, and has grown into a lifelong passion. Today, together with my team, I specialize in luxury destination wedding photography in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, with over 20 years of experience capturing celebrations in some of the country's most beautiful locations.


Inspired by natural light, breathtaking sunsets, and the beauty of Costa Rica, we create timeless images that reflect genuine emotion, meaningful moments, and the unique connection between every couple. Our approach is both intentional and relaxed, allowing you to be fully present while we preserve the memories that matter most.



Our goal is simple: to create a seamless experience and photographs that feel as beautiful, authentic, and unforgettable as your wedding day itself.
