Emily + Ken | Southernmost Beach Resort Wedding in Key West, FL
Sometimes a love story is just meant to be. The first time Emily and Ken met, it was through some mutual friends who had just so happened to invite them both over to their house…a house, mind you, that they’d both visited and hung out at before, but it had never worked out that they were there together at the same time….until an evening in 2012 when the initial sparks flew! Fast forward through college where they made the time and distance work, to 2020 when Ken surprised Emily on a family vacation where he asked her to marry him, to 2023 when they decided to celebrate their big day in Key West, Florida.

When Erik and Kim chose Key West for their elopement, they weren’t chasing grandeur—they were embracing intention. Their day was a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t need an audience to be profound. With the sun-drenched streets of Old Town as their aisle and the quiet stillness of the courthouse chapel as their venue, they celebrated in a way that was deeply personal and effortlessly elegant. From the iconic Kapok Tree to the hidden corners of Fort Zachary Taylor, every backdrop told part of their story—and we were honored to document it all. This is more than just an elopement recap; it’s a love letter to small weddings, thoughtful planning, and the kind of photography that captures not just how it looked, but how it felt.
