Anniversary Photography at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Anniversary photography at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is an experience where time feels like it stands still, where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.

Earlier this year, I had the privilege of capturing an anniversary session for a beautiful couple at this extraordinary resort. What made it even more special is that Nekajui opened its doors in February, making this one of the very first sessions ever photographed within its serene grounds.

Why Nekajui, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Is the Ultimate Destination

Perched above the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean, Nekajui is more than a luxury resort — it’s a sanctuary. Couples traveling here will discover:

• Unparalleled privacy in villas designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding jungle.
• World-class amenities and fine dining experiences overlooking Papagayo’s breathtaking coastline.
• Convenience of location — only 40 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR), making it one of the most accessible luxury resorts in Costa Rica.

For couples seeking a retreat that combines elegance, adventure, and intimacy, Nekajui offers the perfect backdrop.

Anniversary Photography in Paradise: Nekajui Ritz-Carlton Reserve

The couple who entrusted me with their anniversary portraits are world travelers, often choosing destinations as breathtaking as their story. For this celebration, they chose Costa Rica’s Gulf of Papagayo — a setting that mirrors their sophistication and love for discovery.

We explored the lush grounds, from jungle pathways to the iconic suspended bridge, capturing both grand vistas and quiet, intimate moments. Every image was a testament to how love can flourish in a place where nature and design come together so effortlessly.

Engagement, Family, and Anniversary Photography in Guanacaste

While this session celebrated a wedding anniversary, Nekajui — and Guanacaste as a whole — is the ideal destination for:

• Engagement sessions for couples traveling before their wedding.
• Anniversary photography to celebrate milestones with timeless portraits.
• Family sessions during luxury vacations in Costa Rica.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a once-in-a-lifetime surprise proposal, the Gulf of Papagayo offers the perfect canvas for stories that will be cherished forever.
