When we got engaged, we knew that we wanted our wedding to reflect ourselves but in a unique way. We did not want to go through the stress of planning a big event if we felt like we would be unable to properly enjoy this celebration with our guests. As Shannon kept browsing through Pinterest for wedding inspiration, she kept coming across a wedding photographer from the South Florida area who made the Keys look absolutely stunning. After doing more research, we became more and more intrigued and started falling in love with getting married on these little islands since Shannon's dream is to get married by the ocean. Over lots of long conversations, we decided that since a marriage is the adventure of a lifetime we might as well start ours off with a bang! We have a goal to visit all 50 states and go on some of the most iconic road trips in America, so we thought the Keys would be able to fit both of those bucket list items nicely!

We are getting married at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park in Key West, Florida. As the most southern beach in the continental US, it truly is an unforgettable place.

Our wedding will be in a semi formal attire. The rehearsal dinner will be cocktail attire.

Please see our color palette below:

We have from May 23 until May 26 blocked off at the Perry Hotel. However, if you would like to extend your trip on either the front or back end, that can be arranged directly with the hotel when you book your rooms.

All entrance fees to the wedding will be covered for our guests and vendors.

The ceremony is around sunset on May 24! Tentatively, we have the ceremony set to begin at 6:30 and last about 30 minutes.

We are planning on sending out formal invitations at the beginning of June.
