Christina and Spencer married at the Casa Marina in Key West, Florida, in December 2015 — a destination wedding photographed by Acromatico. A rare rainy Keys day brought dramatic skies, then cleared just as the bride walked down the aisle, setting up a ceremony framed by Key West's famous sunset.
Christina and Spencer came all the way down to Key West for their wedding at the Casa Marina. It rarely rains in the Keys, but it decided to on this very day — and the gloomy weather and dramatic skies gave the day its final touches. As the bride was getting ready to walk down the aisle, the skies cleared and the rain went away, leaving perfect wedding scenery at the Casa Marina.
After the "I Do's," Acromatico photographed the couple with the infamous Key West sunset. Christina, Spencer, and all the family and friends who came down for the destination wedding partied like rock stars and enjoyed the day to the fullest.
“As this beautiful bride was getting ready to walk down the aisle, the skies cleared and the rain went away.”
Good to know
The Casa Marina sits on the southern, Atlantic-facing shore of Key West, Florida — the southernmost city in the continental United States, at the end of the Overseas Highway (US-1) in Monroe County. Built originally by Henry Flagler in the era of his Florida East Coast Railway, the oceanfront resort fronts one of the island's private beaches, which makes it a natural choice for beachfront ceremonies and sunset portraits.
Key West is reached by driving the Florida Keys from Miami or by flying into Key West International Airport (EYW). The island is famous for its sunsets — celebrated nightly at Mallory Square on the Gulf side — and for changeable subtropical weather, where a passing rain shower can clear within minutes. For couples planning a Casa Marina wedding, that means building in flexibility: the same weather that brings dramatic skies can clear in time for the ceremony, exactly as it did for Christina and Spencer.
