Meet Moments Costa Rica


A Team That Sees the World the Same Way.


For years, we've been photographing the people, places, and moments that make Costa Rica unforgettable. Today, Moments is powered by a team of photographers and creatives who share the same vision: creating natural, timeless imagery while making every session feel relaxed, personal, and enjoyable. From the first conversation to the final gallery, every photograph is shaped by the same attention to detail and commitment to telling your story beautifully.


Based in Costa Rica, our team photographs families and couples visiting from around the world. Our sessions take us throughout Guanacaste and Peninsula Papagayo, from beautiful beaches and private villas to some of Costa Rica's most loved resorts. We know these locations well, but more importantly, we know how to create an experience that feels easy when you're here on vacation. Every session is different because every family and couple is different. We keep the experience relaxed and uncomplicated, giving you space to enjoy your time together while we capture it naturally. The result is a collection of photographs that feels personal, beautiful, and true to your time in Costa Rica.

FOUNDER & PHOTOGRAPHER

With more than 20 years of experience in Costa Rica’s tourism and photography industry, Sylvia Guardia has spent her career photographing destination weddings, events, couples, and families from around the world.


After becoming a mother herself, Sylvia saw the opportunity to create something new: an experience centered around families, couples, and the simple joy of documenting time together in Costa Rica. From that idea, Moments Costa Rica was born.


Today, Moments is made up of a carefully selected team of photographers trained under Sylvia’s keen eye, bringing together years of experience with a natural, relaxed approach to photography. The goal has always remained simple: beautiful photographs, an easy experience, and memories of Costa Rica that families can take home with them.
