Sometimes, in life, you just meet people you click with. H and M are two of those people. They are phenomenal, kind, and so sweet to be around. I cherish all the time I had with them this afternoon and it could not have been better!

2 years ago they were supposed to get married in Key West, but we all know how 2020 went. D + K didn’t let that stop them from planning an intimate wedding in 2022!

Now on their 14th anniversary, they made it happen! It wasn’t initially planned that way, but I couldn’t think of a sweeter date for them to get married. We started the day K and the girls getting ready together at their beach rental before heading to the beach.

Florida weather is unpredictable, especially once hurricane season starts, but R, J + their families were true troopers rolling with the changes!

That is also a huge bonus to having an intimate wedding: more flexibility to change plans up because you are moving less people!

When D moved to Florida from Hawaii I gained a new friend and I am so glad that I did. T + D are down for anything including running around the beach as the last rays of light dip over the horizon and the sky turns colors of cotton candy.

C + K reached out to me two weeks (yes you read that right!) before wanting to elope in the Florida Keys at the end of July! K mentioned she had been following along with my work since January and had convinced them to make the day unique and an all day adventure! I think we definitely accomplished that and so much more!

When you think elopement, what comes to mind? Traveling to the western United States to check out Zion or Yosemite? Going across the ocean to Ireland or Italy to run through endless fields and exceptional food?

GUESS WHAT?! We are overlooking a chain of islands right here in the United States where you can escape to an adventurous elopement filled with fun, good food, sunny weather and silky sand – the Florida Keys. The Keys are a string of 1,700 islands (🤯) that span over 120 miles off the southern tip of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. These islands are known for their watersports, food, and history. Out of these many islands there is so much to explore and be done. I created a list of my top 5 cities in the Florida Keys that offer a unique experience: Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key, and Key West.
