Karla and Steve’s shared love for water and serenity brought their dream wedding to life in The Keys. They wanted a wedding that would share the same serenity and enjoyment that the water brings to them to their family and friends, making the Florida Keys the perfect destination.
This couple’s love story began when they first met, even though Karla didn’t even realize it at the time. Karla went to a concert with a friend and they decided to stop for drinks at Uncle Julio’s. Steve happened to be sitting right at the bar as Karla saved her friend a seat. Steve tried to strike a conversation, but Karla was more focused on finding her friend at the time.
After Steve and Karla’s second date, Steve knew Karla was the one. When Steve took Karla back home, he put his top down on his Corvette, and Karla sat on the back of the car while they were driving down the road. This is a moment Steve could never forget.
Steve and Karla became engaged on February 7, 2014. Steve popped the question at Uncle Julio’s, where the couple first met. Karla and Steve were so excited to begin their journey together as an engaged couple.
The Keys had the fun, relaxing atmosphere that Karla and Steve were looking for for their wedding day. They also fell in love with the beautiful Casa Marina. The gorgeous design and hundreds of years of history really impressed them.
The wedding day was a gorgeous, unforgettable experience! The moment that will forever be in Karla and Steve’s hearts is the first look. Also, Karla’s dress was custom made in Australia and was a true piece of art. As the dress was made, Karla did not have the opportunity to have a dress fitting, and she let the magic of her perfect dress unfold.
