•  Make sure to plan your ceremony with enough time left over to photograph not only your family and wedding party, but also you and your spouse in the full glory of the sunset.

•  Don’t forget to ask your Florida Keys wedding planner about the weather, temperatures and sunset times for the date you wish to hold your wedding in Key West, Florida. So you can plan accordingly if you have elderly guest or small children.

•  Be on time for everything!  Chances are you are not the only up-doo your hair stylist has on your wedding day.

•  Let your guests know in advance how the time frame of the ceremony. So they can assist you by being in the right place at the right time.   

•  Remember that you are getting married in a tropical climate, maybe even on the beach or a boat.  Dressing accordingly helps you look your best in order to relax & enjoy your day.

•  Choose the right shoes - high heels don't work well on the beach or the boat.  Be creative and choose something beautiful and comfortable.

•  Try to coordinate wedding party and family clothing with complimentary colors and patterns.  Visualize what you want your final portraits to look like, and what you want to remember forever.

•  Want to keep it really simple and easy?  Light, solid pastels always look good on and in pictures.

•  Know your hair - how does it react to humidity?  What if it is windy?  Is an up-doo for you?

•  Choose a hairstyle that is flattering and 'weatherproof' for you. 

•  Remember to apply your makeup in natural light.

•  Know how your skin reacts to the humidity and heat.  Carry a powder or blotting tissue for the formal portraits.

•  Watch out for sunburn & tan lines before the wedding day.
