Jessica and Shaun| Margaritaville Beach House Wedding

So a girl walks into a bar….The owner’s there…big tall handsome guy, he is. He says ‘Hey, I remember you; you came here a year ago.’ Girl says ‘Yeah? What about it?’. Guy says ‘I’ve been waiting for you to walk back through those doors someday.’ Girl says ‘Why’s that?’. He says ‘So I could ask you on a date, fall in love, and run away to Key West to get married someday’.”!

Okay, so maybe that last part is a liiiiittle bit of an exaggeration, but that girl? That was my bride, Jessica! And the guy? Her handsome groom, Shaun! And they DID go on that date, they DID fall in love, and they DID (of course!) come to Key West to get married!

Regan and David | Smathers Beach + Conch Republic Seafood

There’s a stretch of sandy beach in Key West, where the palm trees are tall and plentiful, the surroundings spacious, and the sounds as tranquil as a summer breeze - save for the occasional sniffles, giggles, and smooches coming from those gathered for a romantic wedding ceremony. The location is Smathers Beach, and the couple? None other than my bride and groom, Regan and David.

Katelyn and Christopher | Barbary Beach House Wedding in Key West

They say you should never “race” into a relationship, but when Christopher first met Katelyn at a national awards banquet in Los Angeles, it was “racing” that brought them together….hydroplane racing, that is! The pair are both professionals in the sport, and quickly discovered that their love of the sport was matched only by their attraction to each other.
