Denise & Paul | Hyatt Centric Key West Resort Wedding

When Denise and Paul reached out to me about their upcoming wedding at Hyatt Centric Resort in Key West, I knew it was going to be a beautiful event. It was planned as an elegant and family-filled affair with their children and closest friends, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico as the iconic Key West sunset created a perfect backdrop for their big day.

There were so many beautiful details that contributed to the overall ambiance of the day, from the stunning dress, to the long romantic veil, to the sparkly details on the belt, to the flowers, rings, and decor.

Denise and her bridal party got ready in the spacious board room at the Hyatt, while the team from Marie Pierre Hair and Makeup did their hair and makeup. It was smiles all around as they helped the bride get into her dress and the final touches added to her ensemble.

Before the festivities began, we got to sneak the couple off to a quiet corner of the resort, where there was a small stretch of sandy beach, accented by lush green foliage and beautiful blue skies. Paul and Denise got to see each other for the first time, and it was their chance to be together before the rest of the day got underway.

The ceremony took place out on the dock overlooking the water. Officiant Steve Torrence presided in his usual warm and humorous way, inviting guests to take in the moment and be present, at the request of the couple to have an “unplugged” wedding. The bride walked down the aisle looking as radiant as ever, with the kids and Paul looking so proud.

Overall, there was an emphasis on the little moments, the people and relationships, candids of guests enjoying each other’s company, having fun, and making the event exactly what the couple were looking for.
