Kelly and Norberto were married at The Rusty Pelican, the waterfront venue on Key Biscayne, Florida, overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City photography studio, photographed the day, which was planned by Gabriela Sousa Events.
The Rusty Pelican on Key Biscayne is one of Acromatico's favorite South Florida wedding venues, and Kelly and Norberto's day was a reminder why: breathtaking views of the Miami skyline and incredibly good food. The couple brought a very unique taste to everything they envisioned for the celebration.
Their planner, Gabriela Sousa Events, made that vision happen effortlessly — a planner Acromatico highly recommends. For couples weighing a waterfront Key Biscayne wedding, it is hard to go wrong with The Rusty Pelican as your venue.
“The views of the Miami skyline are breathtaking and the food is incredibly amazing — one of our favorites for sure.”
Good to know
The Rusty Pelican is a waterfront restaurant and events venue located on the Rickenbacker Causeway, the road that connects mainland Miami to the island village of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its position on Biscayne Bay gives it one of the most recognized panoramas in the area: an open-water foreground with the downtown Miami and Brickell skyline rising directly across the bay, a backdrop that shifts dramatically between golden hour and the lit skyline after dark.
Because the venue sits on the causeway between downtown Miami and the island, couples and guests have easy access to both the Brickell hotel district and Key Biscayne itself, home to Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the island's southern tip. For photographers, the draw is the light over the bay and that skyline line-of-sight — the same views Acromatico singled out from Kelly and Norberto's wedding. If you are searching for a Rusty Pelican wedding photographer, plan your timeline around the bay-facing sunset, when the skyline begins to glow across the water.
