Fort Zachary Beach Wedding with Laura & Melissa, Love is Love.

5/2/2019

We believe that love should be celebrated in all its forms and we are happy to share this blog with you with wedding photos from one of our favorite Key West wedding locations, Fort Zachary Taylor. Laura and Melissa answered couple of questions for our wedding blog. 
Congratulations Laura & Melissa! We couldn't be happier to be a part of your wedding day! 
-How did you two met?  Chesapeake and Potomac Softball (CAPS), our LGBTQ love connector!  

-Who proposed and how (where)?  Melissa and our dog Maui proposed during a sunset walk on the Potomac River in Alexandria, VA.  Maui helped by presenting the ring that was attached to her collar.

-Why wedding in Key West? Fort Zachary?  We wanted a destination wedding and loved the laid back vibe of Key West.  We visited a year ago and went to Fort Zachary at the suggestion of our good friends (our officiant Betsy and her fiancee Lorraine).  The park was gorgeous and we loved the idea of getting married on the beach at sunset.  

-What was your inspiration for your wedding? Fort Zachary was the inspiration in itself, we cannot have picked a more picturesque location.

-Describe some of your favorite moments at the wedding?   Looking around to see all our loved ones who came to celebrate with us.  Our private moments in the woods before our introduction. Our first dance and that we actually pulled it off after a four week crash course of private dance lessons.  Watching our mothers dancing like it was Studio 54.  Also, we loved the photo shoot at the fortress.  It was a fun, peaceful prelude to the adrenaline rush of the actual wedding.

-What would be an advice to other brides from you?  Take a couple moments during the day to step aside, just the two of you, and take it all in. Journal your favorite moments the next day so you will always remember them with details.  We also did toasts the night before at a welcome event - it helped to have most of the tearful and quasi-embarrassing storytelling moments take place before the big day. 

-What are your future plans? Honeymoon? Trips?   We are in the process of planning our honeymoon at an adventure resort in Belize later this year.  This summer is all about relaxing with our two dogs Maui and Raja poolside and playing softball, of course ;)

-Would you change anything looking back?  Not a thing. The weekend was a dream come true...everything was shockingly perfect!

    In the heart of the Florida Keys, every wedding is a sun-drenched love story waiting to be told. As a seasoned Key West wedding photographer and visual storyteller, I specialize in capturing destination weddings, intimate elopements, and heartfelt portraits with authenticity and soul.
    Whether you’re planning a romantic Key West elopement, a full-scale Florida Keys wedding, or traveling from afar for your dream destination wedding, I’m here to preserve each fleeting moment — with a photojournalistic eye, editorial elegance, and a deep understanding of light, emotion, and place.
    As a published photographer, my work has been recognized for its timeless aesthetic and candid storytelling. I blend documentary honesty with curated artistry, creating imagery that feels personal, poetic, and effortlessly you.
    With over 16 wedding seasons behind me, and a deep local knowledge of the Keys, I offer more than photography — I provide peace of mind. From guiding you naturally through portraits to capturing spontaneous, in-between magic, I’m here to make sure your day unfolds beautifully in front of the lens.
    Whether you’re seeking a trusted Key West portrait photographer, a Florida Keys elopement photographer, or someone to capture your once-in-a-lifetime destination wedding, let’s create something lasting — images that carry the feeling of your love, forever framed by the sea and sky.
