A Laid-Back, Love-Filled Day in the Keys


Sam and Meredith’s wedding was everything you’d hope for from a Florida Keys celebration—laid-back, intimate, coastal, and full of joy. They tied the knot surrounded by their closest friends and family, with the prettiest ocean views and warm golden light wrapping the whole day in that magic you can’t plan for (but secretly hope for). It was such an easy day to document because it just felt like them—joyful, genuine, and deeply in love.


They said “I do” with the water behind them, the wind in their hair, and the biggest smiles on their faces. One of my favorite parts? How fully they leaned into just being present and soaking it all up. No stress, no rushing—just intentional moments, heartfelt laughs, and allll the happy tears.


I knew from our first messages that this was going to be a good one, and it didn’t disappoint. Every detail was effortless and thoughtful without feeling overdone. They trusted me to tell their story honestly and beautifully, and I’m just so dang grateful I got to be a part of it.


If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding that’s relaxed but meaningful, this one’s for you. Keep scrolling for some of my favorite moments from their day—you might just find yourself booking a ticket to the Keys after this.
