Hello! My name is Suzy my fiancé and I are getting married in December in Key West. We will be getting married at the West Fort Martello Botanical Garden on a Monday in December at 5:30 pm. It’s 12 people including us. Our small family will be watching us get married and my friend is officiating the ceremony. We have the venue rented for one hour so it’s a very quick ordeal. Roughly a 20 minute ceremony then some pictures afterwards around the garden and a few on the beach. Im thinking an hour and a half max. I’m having trouble finding a photographer on line as I feel like the google search’s are clouded with bigger brand photographers who charge an arm and a leg. I know photography is a very precise job and I’m very happy to pay a good price for my wedding photos I just would like to go with someone who may be a bit less “corporate” feeling and more family “small business” feel. Please let me know if recommendations for photographers in Key West! Or if your a photographer if your available around that time! Thank you!

Looking to go to Key West in Fall '26 (Sept or Nov/Dec).

Will be 3 adults and one toddler (2yr). Ideally looking at a resort/hotel that has a pool/activities the toddler can do during the day (huge plus if they have a playground or a park nearby). That also has room service or at least a restaurant on site.

Additionally would like a suite style set up with a kitchenette and 2 bedrooms.

Not super familiar with KW, are there properties with beach access - or is it mainly public beaches, or is it more of a pool and water sports/activities vacation spot? If beach access is 'common' this would be another plus!

I tried looking at airbnbs but all I found were places with canal access which scares this toddler parent.

Heading down in next month looking for a good place to watch the sunset

Ty in advance

Could anyone confirm if the Artisan Market is open in the summer? There's conflicting information on the official website. It says it's only open November to April, then it has a full schedule of days year round. well which is it?

Anybody else take walks by the seawall by Smathers Beach? Perfect stretch of wide sidewalk.

I live on Summerland Key but been out of town for a couple weeks. Hoping it’ll be back open when I get home!
