One of the first questions couples ask us when planning a Jacó celebration is simple: how much does a private photographer actually cost for a destination wedding in Jacó Beach, Costa Rica? It's a fair question—photography is one of the few things from your wedding day that lasts forever, so you want to know what you're investing and exactly what you get. At www.jacobeachchef.com we help couples coordinate trusted local photographers as part of their full wedding experience, and below are the current package options and prices.
Costa Rica wedding photography is typically priced in tiers based on hours of coverage, number of edited digital images, and whether you add video. Below you'll find both photo-only packages and photo-plus-video packages, from a short-and-sweet Bronze option up to the all-day, drone-and-video Gold package.

Which Package Is Right for Your Wedding?
If you want simple, beautiful coverage of the ceremony and a few key moments, the Bronze photo-only package is the most affordable way to go. Couples who want a pre-wedding engagement session and more complete storytelling tend to choose Silver. And if you want nothing left to chance—unlimited photos, both partners' preparations, drone footage, and full video—the Gold package captures every angle of your day.
Because we coordinate your photography alongside your catering, venue, and timeline, your photographer and videographer are built into the day's schedule from the start. That means sunset portraits happen at the right hour, the toasts aren't missed, and dinner service never collides with the photo moments you care about most.
