What a beautiful and long love story of Alan and Ariela. Ariela and Alan met at Middle School and started dating in 7th grade. Eleven years later they went on a cruise for their Anniversary. Alan proposed at Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas in the underground fish tank. Speaking about long lasting love before getting married! Ariela decided on the ceremony venue and Alan on the reception venue. Besides being 100% pure, kind people, Ariela and Alan are also really fun and super smart. No wonder they were surrounded the entire wedding with close family and friends that made this celebration also very special. Their Key West wedding at Marriott Beachside Hotel was everything one could hope for on their wedding day: beautiful environment, honest emotion, and a pretty location that made for an intimate ceremony in St. Mary's church. Naturally all the women looked elegant and the men looked extra sharp thanks to the touch of a local barber. The night ended off with a party that didn't stop until the venue forced it to. Ariela said: "Our favorite part about the wedding was when the song "All of me" by John Legend came on, and all our guests gathered together around and hugged us the whole song." St. Marteen, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Grand Turk were just a few locations they went to during their beautiful honeymoon right after the wedding. Congratulations Ariela and Alan, and thank you for letting us be a part of your special day. We wish you a long life of happiness!

Liz and Joe Got Married! Beach Wedding Ceremony and romantic reception at the fort in Key West!5/13/2016 Social media, intriguing tweet, touching blog post or dating web site could be a beautiful beginning of a new love story and for some lucky ones, turns into a relationship, or even a marriage. This was exactly the case for Liz and Joe. Liz and Joe met online using the dating web site called Ok Cupid. It is a perfect example of modern love, followed by a unique proposal in form of sneakers. Liz said: " I'm not really a girly girl and prefer sneakers to any other fot ware." She runs as a hobby which makes a great excuse to have so many sneakers, that's why Joe decided sneakers as his proposal surprise. Joe made custom Nike sneakers which he hid in Niketown store in New York City. To execute his proposal he walked Liz by shoes, got down on one knee, and proposed. Liz's entire family was present which made this moment even more special and surreal. Liz was getting ready in one of my favorite locations. Waterfront Key West Pier House Resort, where the sea meets Duval. Part romance, part adventure, private white sand beach with rooms that offers beautiful ocean view, lots of natural light, beautiful blue ocean as a background while boats are slowly cruise around the island of Key West. They are both nature lovers and wanted to marry in natural environment. Thus, Fort Zachary Taylor beach was the perfect location for a beach wedding ceremony followed by a reception inside the romance of the fort itself. The custom made sneakers made it to Key West and they offered the perfectly unique contrast to Liz's beautiful cotton lace mermaid gown. Joe also opted out on the dress shoes, instead of wearing a black pair of sneakers accented with funky blue socks to compliment the whole wedding look. The first dance was followed by an unforgettable rock-and-roll like performance by Liz's father during father- daughter dance, while everyone gathered around and cheered along. We feel very lucky that such a fun and caring couple brought us into their tight circle of family and friends and let us be a part of their wedding day. Hopefully some of the Caribbean sand made it's way back to Charleston, hitching a ride in the sneakers, as a reminder of this wonderful celebration!! Congratulations Liz and Joe!!!

Truman Little White House, Key West and Destination Wedding with Siobhan and Patrick4/24/2016 The first time I had the pleasure of meeting Siobhan and Patrick was due to Siobhan finding my photography through Pinterest search and booking my " Save the date " session. We had a beautiful day in sunny Key West and went to couple of different locations. I was more then thrilled to see their wedding invitation printed in beautiful heavy paper inviting all their family and friends to the Little White House for their special day. Siobhan and Patrick met at the meeting while they were both working on different political campaigns. Patrick proposed before Siobhan's favorite holiday, New Year's Eve. Together they picked their wedding venue as a nod to their political past. Patrick also grew up in Islamorada and his late father lived in Key West for many years. "It is one of our favorite places to visit" Siobhan said. Therefore the choice of getting married in Key West was an easy one. The Truman Little White House set a charming scene for a classic Key West wedding. The chic navy and gold palette with pops of pink color inspired by fashion designer Kate Spade offered a sophisticated but fun feel. Siobhan had a stunning silk chiffon wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline and she looked absolutely angelic. Guest of honor and also officiant of Siobhan and Patrick's wedding was mayor Bob Buckhorn from Tampa. Siobhan used to work for him as a special assistant, but he said that it felt more like he worked for her. I could tell that it really meant a lot to them to have him at their wedding, due to a lot of mutual respect. We also had the chance to escape for an hour to take a few wedding photos at Fort Zachary Taylor Park. Afterwards the couple drove around town in a cute custom made buggy, while making their way back to the reception. Seeing the way Patrick looked at Siobhan with the most natural and genuine of smiles is the reason I photograph weddings. I get the opportunity to capture forever the memories of two people who are truly in love, through a series of still images. We are so happy we got to witness your first day as husband and wife and we hope we'll get the chance to be a part of any other special occasion as they continue to arise in your future. Congratulations Siobhan and Patrick!

Wedding Venue: Little White House Hair /Mua : Amanda Robinson Wedding Officiant : Mayor Bob Buckhorn Wedding Inspiration: Fashion Designer Kate Spade Southernmost House, Key West, is a beautiful private oceanfront property that blends a tropical style with natural surroundings like the sound of seagulls. It's perfect for any private events or weddings. Kristen and Alain met while working together and their relationship grew from there. Alain planned his proposal perfectly. One day Kristen went out for a run and when she returned Alain was kneeling in a tuxedo surrounded by candles and their precious cats. Kristen and Alain gathered with their loved ones for a memorable celebration by the ocean, coordinated by Swankey Events. An abundance of pink roses, accented with silver and white designed by Milan Events embraced the sunny day and blue waters in the background. Kristen requested a one hour photo session on their wedding day around the island with various settings and we are always happy to accommodate these requests. This also gave the couple a moment to escape for a bit and spend just a little time together, while we were able to capture additional creative photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime. Guests partied and danced with joyous enthusiasm till the end of the day. Fueling this celebration was the energy that Kristen and Alain radiated by loving each other and everyone around them. It was truly a delight to photograph these two and the people they've filled their lives with on such an important day. We wish you an eternity full of happiness!!  
          
 
    
       Beautiful winter destination wedding at The Reach Hotel, Waldorf Astoria with Marlene and Peter. After Peter proposed during their vacation trip to Cape Hatteras on the coast of North Carolina they both knew they would like to have their dream wedding in tropical settings. Key West was the perfect wedding destination. Their ceremony took place in famous Gazebo right by the The Reach Hotel private beach with perfectly chosen colors of teal, white, and touch of orange by our bride. Marlene looked absolutely stunning in her full lace mermaid wedding gown by her favorite designer Romona Keveza. In a setting as magical as this one one you cannot help but feel the abundance of love, while the bride and groom behind the next chapter of their lives together in harmony. Thank you Marlene and Peter and your families for trusting us again with such an important milestone in your lives. It’s been so wonderful getting to know all of you, and we hope to see you again at a future celebration of love and union! 
 
   
   
         
 
          In their 25 years together Roger and Roland have traveled extensively to countries such as Kenya, Tanzania and Australia, and they lived in different parts of the world. But when it came time to plan their wedding, they wanted tropical feel of Florida Keys and decided that Casa Marina Resort, Key West would be their ultimate dream wedding destination. Their wedding day was full of emotion and playful fun. Their friends shed endless tears as they watched these two exchange rings and have their first kiss as a married couple after waiting so long. The first kiss is a big moment for any couple, but it often carries more weight for same-sex couples who did not grow up assuming they would someday be able to marry someone. Real love, cannot be defined or limited by pointless demographics such as age, race or gender. It just happens. If you’re lucky enough. We were grateful to be a part of this beautiful and diverse international wedding and wishing you long life of happiness and fun! 
  
        
      
 
   
   Imagine a dreamy island wedding held in a lush, tropical setting surrounded by the Florida Keys’ blue-green water, a white sandy beach and swaying palm trees. Then picture Sunset Key Cottages, and that fantasy becomes reality. This spectacular resort occupies seven acres of the island. Beyond the resort, guests may explore the white sand beaches or take a short ferry ride to Key West. Sunset Key is renowned for its exclusivity and privacy. Amanda and Jonathan enjoyed their dream beach ceremony followed by a cocktail hour on a chartered catamaran with their closest friends and family. All of this was topped off with a glorious unobstructed sunset view at the end of the day. Their emotional connection is completely endearing, and it’s obvious they love having a lot of fun together and that they love to dance. It was evident in their relationships with friends and family, too, how incredibly special this day would be for everyone. Amanda & Jonathan, we wish you a long life of love and happiness together!

Sasha and Trey, along with their family and friends, celebrated this special wedding day with so much loving joy it was contagious. Sasha looked stunning in her beautiful wedding gown and Trey couldn't hold back his tears while she walked towards him down the isle at the peaceful and serene setting in Fort Zachary Taylor Park. The couple looked absolutely radiant! Details in dress and decoration reflected the theme of the location, such as baby blue gowns for the bridesmaids and matching socks for the groom and groomsman. What resonated most about this couple’s day was Sasha and Trey's loving relationship. Their friends and family, who contributed in shaping them as individuals and as a couple, shared in their special dynamic.

          Valerie and Matt are amazing people with such fun personalities. They were from Delray Beach but planned a destination wedding in Key West, Florida. Valerie chose gold, blush and white colors for her wedding day an wore a beautiful mermaid wedding gown with three lace tiers at the bottom of the dress. Valerie and Matt added some traditional Jewish aspects to their wedding such as celebrating with the energetic circle dance known as hora. Everyone's positivity ensured a beautiful evening sky and we were fortunate to get outside to capture some wonderful photos around Mallory Square and Ocean Key Resort and Spa. Together, they enjoyed the rest of their special day and I wish them all the best as they begin this new journey in life, united and in love! Congratulations Valerie and Matt!!!

Wedding Planner: Monika Moreno ( Swankey Events ) Flowers: Milan Events Dj : Visualize Entertainment ( Scott Gerke ) What an honor to be chosen by another fellow photographer to capture his wedding day. Nick had a special request to have his wedding photographed after sunset, which was a spectacular display that evening. The sun dazzled and set fire to the cloudy sky and ushered in the humid evening. The ceremony was lit under the warm ambiance of paper lanterns, white, glowing balloons, and an endlessly changing sky. Jen and Nick's dynamic and tender relationship is equally shared amongst their families and friends. The amazing people they are surrounded and loved by made for an unforgettable party following the ceremony. We think you’ll also agree that it is hard to take your eyes away from Jen's beautiful, custom made wedding gown. There’s no doubt that lasting memories were made that day, and we were so glad to have been there to capture them. Congratulations, Jen and Nick!
