Natural & Emotional Wedding Photography
If you’re planning a private beach wedding, micro wedding, or elopement in the Florida Keys, you deserve photography that feels natural, emotional, and candid.
Whether you’re exchanging vows in Key West, celebrating with 20 loved ones in Marathon, or eloping along the shores of Islamorada, I document your day in a way that feels effortless and real.
What It’s Like to Work Together
Planning an intimate wedding or elopement in the Florida Keys should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My goal is to make the entire photography experience feel simple, relaxed, and enjoyable from the moment you reach out.
I work closely with couples to help create a smooth wedding day timeline so every important moment flows naturally. From getting ready to your ceremony and sunset portraits, everything is planned in a way that allows you to stay present and enjoy your day.
Because I’ve photographed weddings throughout the Florida Keys, I can also recommend trusted local vendors, from planners and florists to beautiful ceremony locations that are perfect for intimate celebrations.
On your wedding day, my approach is calm and supportive. I guide you gently when needed, but most of the time I simply document real moments as they naturally unfold.
One of the most magical parts of the day is golden hour. As the sun sets over the ocean, we take a few quiet moments to capture relaxed, romantic portraits in the warm evening light, often creating some of the most unforgettable images from your wedding day.
My focus:
to make sure you feel comfortable, present, and fully able to enjoy every moment of your celebration.

I don’t even know where to positively start describing Kim and her talent. She is over-the-top incredible. I feel so fortunate to have found her for our engagement/wedding photography. Not only is she so kind, but she was so enjoyable to have present on our wedding day. Our guests even complimented how great she was! Kim’s work is immaculate. Her photos represent her true creativity, making each couple’s sessions unique and beautiful. I have received endless compliments on our photos by The Big Day Photography. I am so picky when it comes to photography as a hobby photographer myself… and Kim completely exceeded all expectations. She is absolutely one of the best photographers I have come across, and we are so blessed to have had her capture our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Kim!

Kim is incredible, amazing, spectacular, and everything else you can possibly think of. Hire her, for any photography needs ever. I fell in love with Kim’s style as soon as I saw her social media and nearly cried when we reached out and she was available on our wedding day. Let me tell you – easily one of the best decisions of our whole wedding was having Kim there to capture it. We did an engagement shoot with Kim right after we signed our wedding contract with her and from the second we met her she made us feel so comfortable, she was very flexible with us as we had never been professionally photographed before. She gave us as much or as little guidance as we wanted, clear instructions, and man oh man did she crush it all. We’ve seen a sneak peek of our wedding from 10/27 and my god. I didn’t cry at the wedding, but I cried at the photos. What we saw was so expertly captured. The photos of my husband and his mother during their dance are so incredibly sweet and tender, just like their relationship. The photos of my father and I dancing are so carefree and fun, just like our relationship. The photos of our wedding party are carefree and fun and candid just like we asked and hoped for. I am going to stare at these photos forever. I can’t wait for when we get pregnant and can go and work with her again on a maternity shoot & family photos forever and ever. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH KIM!!!!
Above The Rest Events
From the moment I met Kim over the phone I knew I had found the person I wanted to be with me on our wedding day to capture it all. She’s talented, funny and makes you feel comfortable. As a wedding planner, I can appreciate from the vendor side of things how much someone puts into their work and when they love what they do. Kim absolutely loves what she does and it shows tenfold. We first did our engagement session with her and it was fun, sexy and easy peezy! We sometimes forgot she was even there which allowed us to be ourselves and in the moment. She gave us a lot of direction and taught us about movement and that reflected incredibly in the photos. Trust what she says and just go with it! The images were amazing! We displayed so many at the wedding and for our save the date-it was such a nice personal touch to have all the photos displayed for everyone to see. Then came the wedding! She directed my family well and we had fun with our bridal party shots. We had amazing sunset shots! She maximized our time so we were still able to attend cocktail hour without feeling like we lacked in photos. We got our sneak peek just a couple days after our wedding and oh my God I can’t wait to see the rest! We really loved having her there at the wedding and I really felt I made a friend in the whole process. Kim is a next level photographer and you will be so happy you chose her to document your special day. We love you Kim!!!!

Honestly, SPEECHLESS! Our photos are everything I wanted and more! Kim makes you feel so comfortable and at ease of a day filled with emotion. Her planning process is incredible and so thorough which I didn’t realize the importance until the day of. You will be pulled in 100 different directions and I was at ease knowing Kim and I had a rock solid plan of what I wanted captured, the style, people that needed to be in certain photos etc. I also just have to say that her ability to transform photos in UNREAL. I truly could not believe the final product compared the the photos taken. Communicative, incredibly sweet and fun, and unbelievably talented. If you are considering Kim, I would not give it a second though!!

Kim was absolutely amazing on our wedding day!! She captured everything we wanted and more. Her relaxed demeanor made the day go by with ease. I barely knew she was there most of the time, she was like a fly on the wall capturing everything SO beautifully. We have seen some of the images she got and they blew us away, they are breathtaking and brought us both to tears. Kim has a true talent. She is so incredibly easy to work with. She is kind and professional. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you SO much Kim, we love you!

I had such an incredible experience during my portrait session with The Big Day Photography I tend to feel awkward in front of the camera, but she made the entire process feel effortless. From helping me choose the perfect location to guiding me on what to wear, every detail was thoughtfully handled and stress free.
The session felt more like an experience than just a photo shoot—and the final images? Pure art. They’re absolutely stunning, and I can’t stop staring at them. I’m so grateful I trusted her vision. Highly highly recommend!

Thomas and his Big Day team were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. They made everything feel so easy and natural, and they truly captured the essence and beauty of our wedding day. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! I would highly recommend Big Day to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and personable wedding photographer. They exceeded our expectations in every way!

Kim is amazing ! She went above and beyond during every step of the way and really got to know my fiance and I. My fiance and I have never had professional photos done before and she made us feel very confident and we had a lot of fun. She is very talented and recommend her for all your photo needs !

She makes you feel comfortable and makes it a priority to capture the essence that you want to achieve! She loves what she does and it shows through her work. And she is an EXCELLENT photographer and we are so overwhelmed with how our photos came out! Highly recommend The Big Day Photography!!
