A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I made a quick day trip to one of my favorite spots in the Florida Keys, The Moorings Village in Islamorada to work with KT Merry (one of the best wedding photographers in the country) on a special shoot. She shot everything on film so we’re still waiting on images (they take a few weeks to develop – stay tuned!).

Driving up the sanctuary of swaying palms during sunrise, I took a deep breath and smiled knowing I was back at one of the most beautiful places (you can see my first post here) in Florida. The Moorings has always been a stunning and peaceful escape in my book like an easy home away from home. And we were so lucky with the weather because the day was filled with the most beautiful light (everytime we visit, we’re greeted with lots of clouds which I don’t mind because they provide the softest light – it’s so gorgeous)! Naturally, we took full advantage of it so my boyfriend took a few photos of me while we waited for KT and her husband to arrive later in the afternoon. We basked in the soft sunshine, captured some amazing content and soaked up all the charm we were surrounded by. My boyfriend, Pete, was so great about the whole thing, too! He’s not a photographer by any means (nor does he have any interest in becoming one, lol – this is a work in progress) but he still managed to put on a smile and do this for me because he knew how much it meant.

The Moorings is a place I am constantly inspired by and will never get tired of traveling to. I promise I’ll share all the incredible, rare moments of us together as soon as the film is finished being developed. Until then, we’re off to the Amalfi Coast and officially out of office.

Xo, Stephanie
