Short Interview as wedding photographer in wedding planner’s Blog.

Toh Gouttenoire — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:27:51 +0000

Perennial wedding just published a short interview of Toh Gouttenoire on their new blog, it is part of the WQS (Wednesday Question Session)… I’m excited to start working with this new wedding planning company, Kristina is a great and creative wedding planner… I know I’ll get some great details shots with her…

Toh has been doing photography for about 15 years, both commercially and now for weddings. He lives in Tamarindo with his family and we thoroughly enjoy working with him!

What do you do? I capture moments and create images.

Where are you from? Born and raised in the center of good old Europe: France.

Who are you in 5 words? Image lover creative curious photographer

What is your style? I guess it is either documentary or carefully crafted funky photography.

What is your favorite part of a wedding? Why? Just after the ceremony, when all the stress is down, people totally relax and just appreciate the moment they are living, not anymore the anticipation of it.

What do you find to be the most memorable about a wedding? Well, the fact that it happened…

What is a tip you would like to give brides and grooms about weddings? Relax… take it easy, especially if you are in Costa Rica… Enjoy the moment don’t ruin it with unnecessary stress, don’t be a BrideZilla, be a Pura Vida Bride…

In a few sentences, as to not bore us , what brought you to Costa Rica? A travel habit fueled by curiosity. I have visited a lot of countries but fell in love with Costa Rica.

What is your favorite place in Costa Rica. Why? Tamarindo and surroundings of course (I live there…), for the beautiful bay, beach and waves, but also for the crazy multicultural community living here.

What do you love about your line of work? Almost everything, how can’t you love being on the beach or other beautiful settings, taking photographs of happy people who give you their trust… honestly…

Tell me something, anything. My daughter is the most intelligent and beautiful girl in the world… and nothing beats a real baguette sandwich with butter and cornichons…

Wedding Holly and Erich – Langosta Beach Club – Playa Tamarindo

Toh Gouttenoire — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 22:39:27 +0000

An intimate wedding kind of improvised…

Holly and Erich knew they wanted their destination wedding in Costa Rica, they also knew they wanted to stay in Tamarindo but that was it, no plan for the ceremony, no wedding planner… When they asked me if I knew a beautiful and quiet spot, I thought straight about the Langosta Beach Club… Still on Tamarindo beach but far from the “crowded” part of the beach…

The ceremony was simple and emotional and we add fun with the afterward session… great moments…

A really relax and fun elopement at the Tamarindo Diria with Jaclyn and David, also the first time I was shooting a wedding at 10 AM… Being the rainy season, the newly weds to be were preoccupied by the possibility of the classic afternoon shower of this season… so we end up on the beach at 11 am under the hard light of a super hot sun… but it gave me something different than the usual (but always amazing) sunset… The little wind help us…

Abby & Justin – Villa Allegre, Playa Langosta, Costa Rica – Wedding photography

Toh Gouttenoire — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 03:07:49 +0000

I love Villa Allegre in Playa langosta, it’s really a “like at home” bed and breakfast, but straight on the beach…

I had great time in this intimate wedding, it was really emotional and fun at the same time…

Keep love growing…

Here is the mail I receive from Abby after uploading the photos:

Here’s a testimonial for you to post…feel free to use however you please – we would love to help support you however we can!

Dear Toh,

Justin & I want to tell you how happy we are with BiDrop and the photos of our wedding on Playa Langosta. When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted someone talented and artistic, but still affordable. Searching for a photographer across international borders was initially intimidating, but once we found you we knew we had found the right person. Your website immediately caught my eye. Your photos showed that you are creative and talented, and after contacting you the first time, I knew you would be easy to work with as well. On top of it all, your price was the best that I found, making you the total package! When we finally met in person, Justin and I both immediately felt comfortable in trusting you to capture the essence of our wedding…us. Throughout our special day, your energy and creativity allowed us to not have to worry about the photos and focus on the important thing, our love for one another. Our day couldn’t have gone any better; afterwards we were so excited to see our memories on film. We had high hopes for our photos, but once we saw them, we couldn’t believe how well you captured the emotion of our day. We can’t thank you enough for helping us to make sure the memories of our wedding will last a lifetime. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you as a photographer for anyone looking for the best!!!

Sincerely,

Abby & Justin Hugill

Thanks a lot Abby I was really touched…
