Kori and Reginald | Key West Presbyterian Church + Doubletree Grand Key Wedding

Kori and Reginald celebrated their love in an emotional ceremony in Key West, with a large group of friends standing up for them as their bridal party, and many family who had traveled far and wide to be with them on this important day. Enjoy reliving their story as much as I enjoyed capturing it!

The day started out at the Doubletree Resort in Key West, where I arrived to get some preparation photos and detail shots.

All the girls were attentive to their friend, the bride, who was ecstatic and joyful to not only be with her entire family, but also on the day she would marry her best friend.

We got Kori into her stunning wedding dress, put on her jewelry, shoes, and veil, and grabbed a few stunning portraits of the bride looking so amazing before we headed off for the rest of the day.

After getting into the dress and taking some quick photos with her girls, it was time to head to the ceremony!

Reginald was mingling with family, all of whom were lending support as he tried to keep it together before this important moment. It was really touching to see just how much he cared for Kori, and knowing they would soon be husband and wife had him overjoyed.

Once the bride arrived in her stretch limousine, it was time to get the ceremony started. The music started and everyone took their places in anticipation of her coming down the aisle.

The ceremony was very heartfelt, with hardly a dry eye in the room! The couple shared their vows which they had written for each other, the family sang led by the couples’ grandmother, and the mothers lit the unity candle, which Kori and Reggie brought together to signify their flames of life being joined now and forever.

The bridal party, about 24 people total (not counting the bride and groom!) assembled for some fun photos together, and we got both some posed and fun/action shots as well.

Once the gusts had departed for the reception, we had a few minutes to spend with the newlyweds to get some photos of the two of them together.
