Love That Knows No Borders: Ina & Ignacio’s Key West Elopement at West Martello

6/4/2025

Some love stories feel like they were always meant to happen — even if the people in them came from opposite sides of the world. Ina is from Bulgaria. Ignacio is from Argentina. And somehow, their paths crossed right here in Key West.
They decided to elope at the beautiful West Martello, tucked inside the Key West Garden Club, surrounded by their best friends and so much love. It was one of those days that reminds me why I love being a Key West wedding photographer— intimate, emotional, and full of little in-between moments that say everything.
One of the most unforgettable parts of their day was Ignacio’s speech. He spoke from the heart — first in English, then again in Spanish — and there wasn’t a dry eye in the garden. You could feel the weight of their journey, how far they’d come, and how much they mean to each other.
Ina was absolutely glowing in her flowing dress, barefoot in the sand, while Ignacio looked at her like no one else existed. After their sweet West Martello wedding ceremony, we wandered through the gardens and down to the beach for golden hour portraits. The light was soft, the breeze just right, and it felt like time slowed down for them.
Their Key West elopement wasn’t about a big production — it was about connection. About two people, from different corners of the world, choosing each other in the place where they fell in love.
Ina & Ignacio --
Thank you for trusting me to be part of such a special chapter in your story. Your love is genuine, grounded, and full of warmth — it was such a joy to witness and capture. The way you looked at each other, the way your friends held space for you, and that beautiful speech (in two languages!) will stay with me for a long time.
You reminded me that love doesn’t need grand stages — just two hearts open to the journey. I’m so grateful our paths crossed here in Key West.
Wishing you endless sunsets, laughter, and adventures — wherever life takes you next.
With love,
Romi
