Cheeca Lodge
A wedding photography & film guide
Cheeca Lodge is an Islamorada wedding setting built around oceanfront views, resort gardens, beach light, and the slower Keys feeling that makes guests want to stay for the whole weekend.
We photograph and film Cheeca Lodge weddings with a calm plan for ceremony light, portrait routes, reception movement, wind near the water, and the timing needed for a polished destination celebration.

Good to Know
Planning tips
- Confirm current ceremony spaces, beach access, portrait locations, and event flow with the Cheeca Lodge team before locking the timeline.
- Plan audio carefully for outdoor vows because ocean breeze can change quickly during the ceremony.
- Use the softer light at the edges of the day for portraits, and keep a compact route so guests are not waiting while the couple moves through the resort.
