First off we have to give a special shout out to the Groom, Akil Bennet, who happens to be a Wedding Chicks photographer in Houston, TX.
Akil wanted nothing but the best for his tropical island getaway. So, of course, he enlisted fine art wedding photographer Jose Villa to capture his Costa Rica wedding after attending one of Jose’s workshops. Besides choosing the wedding photographer Alex, the bride, planned 100% of the wedding with assistance from Tropical Occasions. She wanted Akil to be surprised with this breath taking island event.
If you are planning a Costa Rica wedding be sure to take note of the weather. There is no real summer or winter in Costa Rica and the rainy season here lasts from May to November, with the months of December through April having little to no rain and September and October being the heaviest rain period. As far as heat goes the coolest months of the year are November, December and January. The months March through May are the hottest months of the year.
Be sure to stay tuned later today we will be showcasing more of this seriously beautiful couple.
Stay tuned there will be so much more to enjoy!
Jose Villa is a preferred member and proud sponsor of The Weddings Chicks.

how lovely! i especially love the groom holding the parasol for his bride ;)
There really are no words…something about this is so refreshing and genuine. This is tempting me to book a destination wedding even more! Absolutely stunning photography.
Amazing! It’s so nice to see one of my preferred photographers in an actual wedding photo, as the groom! Akil is a very talented photographer and obviously knows how to choose other talented photographers. The images are breathtaking! Congratulations Akil and Alex.
I love the colors in this wedding. Stunning images as always.
Isn’t he just amazing? So much talent makes such beautiful images and the couple are GORGEOUS too. So much style. So many superlatives!
These are absolutely stunning!!
Wow. I love the groom’s attire, their barefoot sign, that BEAUTIFUL bride, the parasol! Wow. Destination wedding = tempting!
Such a gorgeous wedding and I love her dress!
so beautiful and soft…
What a beautiful wedding. Just love all the details. Everything captured so perfectly!!!!
Love this! Jose’s style is like a fine wine, getting better and better with age! Keep it up my friend
Beautiful images Jose – as always. Amazing work!
Beautiful work, as always from Jose Villa, and from the lovely ladies of Tropical Occasions. Wish I could have seen it in person.
The photos are beautiful, but Costa Rica is not an island. It’s attached to Central America. Just thought you would like to know that. :) Love the photos regardless!
So beautiful, but no surprise! Jose astounds again- can’t wait to see him blow one of our April 2011 weddings out of the water. Thanks for featuring, Wedding Chicks!
