Madie & Kyle’s Key West Elopement Adventure: From Courthouse Vows to Iconic Island Landmarks

Some love stories don’t need a crowd—just a little sunshine, a courthouse, and a heart full of adventure.
Madie and Kyle’s intimate Key West elopement was the perfect mix of simplicity and spontaneity. They started their wedding day getting ready at the beautiful Southernmost Beach Resort, nestled right on the edge of the island. The salty breeze, ocean views, and tropical gardens made for a peaceful and romantic backdrop as they prepared to say "I do."
Their ceremony took place at the Key West Courthouse, where they exchanged heartfelt vows in a quiet and meaningful moment. No fuss—just pure love.
But the day didn’t end there.
Madie and Kyle decided to turn their elopement into a visual love story with a personalized photo safari around Key West for a few hours. From historic streets to quirky landmarks, we captured their joy as newlyweds all over town. We made spontaneous stops at some of the island’s most iconic spots, each adding its own flavor to their wedding day gallery.
📍 Tropic Cinema – Their pastel marquee glowed above them like a movie poster to their story.
📍 Truman Annex – The quiet streets, colorful doors, poincianas blooming, light peaking through iconic Key West colonial homes,  and banyan trees gave us timeless Florida Keys charm.
📍 Cape Tony’s Saloon – A Key West legend. Madie and Kyle each tried their luck tossing a coin into the fish’s mouth outside—rumor has it, it brings good fortune in love and life.
📍 La Concha Hotel –We stepped inside for a few photos and were instantly transported into an old Havana vibe, with its vintage charm and timeless tropical elegance.
This kind of elopement—laid back, full of personality, and completely customized—is exactly what makes being a Key West wedding photographer so special. Whether you're dreaming of a courthouse elopement, a sunset ceremony on the beach, or something completely unique, Key West offers the perfect blend of charm, color, and intimacy.

P.S. A Big Congratulations to Madie and Kyle!

Madie + Kyle, wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure—wherever life takes you next. It was an honor to be part of the beginning of your journey.💛
