Chelsea & Thomas’ Hemingway House Wedding – Key West, Florida

Chelsea and Tom have known each other since high school, but didn’t make their ‘love connection’ until a few years after high school. Fast forward a few more years to a proposal during a Key West sunset at Mallory Square –  with Tom wearing a GoPro on his head, mind you 🙂 –  and these two began their greatest adventure to date – their marriage!  One thing that stood out to me most about these two is how much they respect each other and how they compliment each other.  Chelsea is outgoing with Tom more reserved, reeling her back in to his aura of calmness when needed.  It was pure joy watching these two interact and find solace in each other in the midst of a hectic wedding day!

I’ll admit – this shot has been done time and time again and I usually avoid recreating images if possible.  However, Chelsea really wanted something done with a bike and it just so happened that this guy biked past and was he ever dressed for the part!  Orange bike, red shirt, cigarette, and completely willing to bike past my couple multiple times – you really could not have not asked for a better ‘model’.   Thank you stranger in the red shirt!  You are awesome and the results could not have been better! 🙂

This is one of my favorite photos of Chelsea from the entire day.  Taken right after the ceremony, she just radiates happiness (and is completely unaware of the camera)!

The Junkanoos add excited and personality to every event that they attend. Chelsea had the brilliant idea to have them escort her wedding guests down the street to the Green Parrot to continue the party!
