This wedding was spectacular! Catherine and Sean spent so much time preparing an unforgettable destination wedding for their family and friends. There were so many memorable details from the table decor to her magnificent wedding dress! Our day began in spacious suite at the Marriott Beach Side Suites with a Gulf view room. The bridesmaids and flower girl all got ready in this beautiful space and everyone was in great spirits. A trolly took the wedding party to Saint Mary's Star of the Sea Church for a full service in the beautiful and iconic Key West church. We ventured out for some candid and fun photos to the vintage postcard mural, and the banyan tree near the Westin. The winds were picking up and there was some discussion to put the wedding indoors, but the night turned out perfectly and the beach wedding was exquisite. There were so many great toasts and speeches and the night was absolutely perfect. There is nothing like a candle lit dinner and dancing on the ocean front beach of the Casa Marina. I loved Catherine's style and color palette she chose for her wedding. Catherine's dress was stunning with lots of details. It was a pleasure to work with the whole wedding party and this was such a fun night to be a part of! Congratulations Catherine + Sean! Photography: Romi Burianova

Kristin booked me as her wedding photographer long before her wedding date. She worked so hard on all of the details and for such a long time, and it showed. Oscar and Kristin booked out the Reach Resort Ballrooms and the outdoor patio. There was a beautiful ceremony at the The Reach Gazebo, spectacular food, great speaches, and a lot of dancing. This was a larger destination wedding with so many fun people. There were many laughs and a lot of comradarie from the large families. We were able to take them around to some of Key West's quintesenntial locations to shoot a couple photos. The Key West Postcard, Higgs Beach, and a small church that reminded me of Greece or Italy. Kristen's dress was stunning and I loved the purple flowers and bow ties. This couple had known each other for a long time, believe or not since elementary school, and asking them to interact with each other was as easy as a Sunday morning. They were adorable together and their love was a joy to capture. Congratulations Kristin and Oscar! Wedding Venue: The Reach Resort
Flowers: Milan Decor Videography: Mark J Pierson Wedding Films Our beach wedding was filled with dancing and much celebration at the historic Casa Marina Hotel. Elyse had a style all her own and the pair of them knew how to throw a great party! A live band, eclectic Israeli and Persian music, and family and friends from Turkey, Sweeden, London, and NYC filled the beach with laughter and great stories.
Elyse's dress was simple and elegant with vintage details, and their wedding arch was created with her creative eye. I loved all of the dancing and celebration that this wedding embraced. This was a true tropical celebration full of revelry and romance! Congratulations to Elyse and Michael, may you enjoy many more nights like this one was! It was my pleasure to be a part of your very special day! The beachfront at the Casa Marina Resort is a beautiful venue to have a wedding ceremony and reception. Cindy and Peter's wedding was full of traditional elements and and was so much fun to shoot. Our bride did a lot of research for her wedding, and interviewed myself and others thoroughly before choosing a photographer. Cindy had graceful and elegant taste. Her wedding dress was adorned with vintage lace, and she changed into a more traditional evening dress for the cake cutting.
Each person who attended the wedding was given a small favor and thanked for attending the celebration. The cake at this wedding was out of this world! Cindy's mother was so sweet, always with a big smile and the dancing and celebration after the ceremony was joyful. It was an honor to a part of this exquisite day at the Casa Marina. Congratulations to Cindy and Peter! The skies were moody and overcast for our wedding at the Reach Resort. The sea was bright aqua marine and the clouds billowed grey which provided us the best natural light for this beautiful occasion! Betsy's dress was a sheath styled fit with exquisite fine lace and beading on the backside. The colors were orange and teal and the bridesmaids and small wedding party coordinated elegantly with the mens linen suits.
Their wedding party was so sweet and full of great energy. Light sprinkles did not dampen anyones spirits, and there were so many smiles, dancing, and laughs all around. This destination wedding was full of close friends and family with great spirited toasts and the feel of a great party. I love the fact that Betsy and Zach had something that's called 'Unplugged Wedding' meaning - the officiate asked all of the guests not to use photography during the ceremony and enjoy each other and be present. It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of this very special day. Cheers to both of you Betsy + Zach! The Casa Marina beach is always buzzing with brides and wedding receptions and this night was absolutely perfect. Jennifer and her family arrived from Houston Texas, and spent a few days in Key West enjoying the sights before their wedding day. Collin was dressed to the nines and Jennifer looked beautiful and was joined by her sister and two adorable flower girls.
The couple requested a more photojournalistic approach, and we did not shoot a lot of portraits or formal shots with them and the family. Capturing these moments unobtrusively and while they happen is always a fun challenge on a wedding day. We took them to the pier for some sunset photos, and Jennifer and her college friends had a blast remembering old times. Congratulations to you both! It was a pleasure to shoot your wedding and we wish you all of the best! Jennifer and Gabriel chose Key West for their destination wedding with family members flying in from Michigan, Ohio, and Texas. This tiny tropical paradise played a special part in their relationship, and the beach wedding and reception on the water was so much fun! Both sides of the family danced and sang and enjoyed the warm weather while their hometowns were buried in snow and cold. The wedding party stayed in the quaint and quintessential Bahama House in downtown Key West and the ceremony was on the sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean.
Jennifer and the whole wedding party were very laid back and we had a lot of fun with the group portraits and the couples photos we took on the large breakwater boulders at the beach. The Historic Seaport with all of her tall ships were a beautiful and romantic backdrop as the sun went down. This was such a happy and fun wedding to be a part of - Congratulations to you Jennifer and Gabe! On the beautiful beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park you'll create memories to cherish for a lifetime. Known around the world as Key West's best beach, Fort Zachary is 54 acre park offering 5 reservable sites for wedding ceremonies by the water, on the beach, or in the historic Fortress and exclusive private options for receptions. This wonderful wedding with Rebekah and Garrett was one that I will remember for long time. Rebekah is soft spoken with the biggest heart, and had a stunning wedding dress that gave us lots of movement and was just perfect for any tropical or beach wedding. Garrett had a perfectly tailored tuxedo and had eyes only for Rebekah since their first look. After everyone had left the beach after the sunset, this lovely couple with their families had the whole State Park for themselves! You should see the stars at night right from the beach! What a great place to get married. Congratulations Rebekah and Garrett! Rebekah and Garrett's wedding ceremony was held at " The Point " on the west side of the park where Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico combine. This view offers breathtaking sunsets through the whole year.
Key West's historic Casa Marina Resort is such a beautiful venue for a wedding. Our wedding couple was married on the private beach with with an intimate group of family and friends. Our bride had picked many elegant details and the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception all had gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean and lush gardens. Our handsome couple was laid back and enjoyed a lot of time with the family and friends that shared this tropical designation wedding with them. There was much humor and lightness to this wedding and it was my pleasure to capture the formal and intimate moments on this wedding day. Congratulations Shannon and Frank!
We started our wedding day in a beautiful suite overlooking both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. This gorgeous suite at the Pier House Resort and Spa is one my favorite places to photograph brides getting ready. We have lots of beautiful natural daylight overlooking Sunset Key, sailboats passing by, one of the best sunset views on the island, and we are not to far from Saint Mary's Star Of The Sea church , where the ceremony took place.
Lauren and Rich had a perfect day with a trolley ride after the ceremony to a couple places around Key West. We stopped at the Southernmost point, Higgs Beach and Letty Nowack's Key West Postcard mural. Our beautiful day ended at Rum Barrel roof deck for a lively reception with family and friends. Big Congratulations Lauren and Rich! I wish you many more beautiful and memorable moments! |
