This wonderful local wedding had 3 different locations at our beautiful island of Key West.
Briana and John got ready at The Reach Hotel, had beautiful beach ceremony at Fort Zachary Taylor and a reception at First Flight Restaurant with big outdoor garden.
From Briana:
John and I met in Key West, where I'm from and where John was stationed.
To fast forward 8 years later, he surprised me with the skydive trip that turned into proposal with over 30 family and friends there and our daughter standing next to him while he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the biggest and most incredible surprise of my life.
There was no question on the wedding location, we both knew it was going to be in Key West, our home...this incredible gorgeous island.
I've always wanted a beach wedding and we both love the ocean. Knowing all that in made sense to have our wedding ceremony at Fort Zachary Taylor.
Our reception was at First Flight, our favorite happy hour spot. First Flight is the perfect mix of indoor/outdoor, and did fit our rustic theme . The food was over the top.
My favorite moment at the wedding was our first dance. We surprised everyone and took dance lessons and had our first dance choreographed.
Rodriguez Cigars came and roller some mad cigars for our guests to enjoy the Key West/Cuban feel.
Sweet addition to our wedding was our photo booth where our guests enjoyed some fun props and left with some priceless printed photos.
My advice to other brides is to step back and take it all in. It's so overwhelming! Look around, watch our guests having a blast, look at your husband, and breath. Everything you've been planning for over a year has all come together...enjoy it!
Looking back the only thing I would change would be adding another hour for the reception. Time went by so fast.
For our honeymoon we went for a read trip to Italy for 10 days and it was the perfect addition to our celebration of love. Rome, Venice, Florence. They were all so different and so beautiful. We rented a Vespa in Florence and went up through Tuscany, and down wine road. It was absolutely gorgeous!
Congratulations and thank you Briana and John for including us in your celebration, we had so much fun to photographing your Key West wedding! It was also so lovely to see many local faces that we had the chance to meet before or photograph their wedding as well.
