Wedding season is booming again and we're always happy to photograph at Fort Zachary Taylor again. Not only the venue is beautiful and you get the park to yourself after the sunset, but we love working with all the great Key West wedding vendors.
I asked Tara couple of questions and her wedding tips:
1. How did you meet, who proposed and how?
When Paul and i met, I was working in a funeral home in Paul’s hometown . His elderly grandfather passed away and used the funeral home where I worked . Paul’s grandfather always said that he needed to find Paul a nice girl, and we think this was his way of doing that!
We are beach people and enjoy taking a couple trips every year . During our vacations we always enjoy taking night walks on the beach. In April, 2018 we were in Melbourne beach walking on the beach at night and Paul surprised me by dropping down to one knee and proposing at the waters edge .
2. Why wedding at Fort Zachary Taylor?
Prior to becoming engaged we had taken a trip to Key West. We were out snorkeling and when we were on the boat I noticed the point at Fort Zach being set up for a wedding . I knew right then that if we got engaged that’s where I wanted to get married. Once we were engaged and did some more research we absolutely fell in love with the fortress. Between being able to be married on the beach, have the reception in the fortress and be in Key West it was just perfect.
3. What was your inspiration for the wedding?
We wanted the wedding to be simple but romantic . We loved the beautiful simplicity of being married at the point, and then being able to have the romantic moodiness of the Fortress. We tried not to overthink any of the decor and just let the venue shine!
4. Describe some of your favorite moments at the wedding.
We definitely enjoyed doing The First Look. It was so nice to see each other beforehand without anyone else around. It really took some of the pressure off ! We also had a blast sneaking off to take sunset photos. Between all the hustle and bustle of the wedding day it was great to have some alone time to really soak it all in !
5. What would be an advice to other brides from you.
When in doubt keep it simple, and try not to stress too much . It will be the best day ever.
6. What are your future plans? Honeymoon?
After a week in Key West we went to Negril, Jamaica for a week. It was absolutely amazing! The resort
(Couples, Negril) was the best resort we have ever stayed at and all the people and staff were so nice .
The ocean water is always the perfect temperature and we absolutely loved being able to snorkel
right off the beach .
Congratulations Tara and Paul!! We loved being part of your wedding and meeting your families!
