Kaylie's Senior Portraits

Malinda and Bryon - First of Two!

This is one of my favorite times of year.... Senior Portraits, Family Portraits and Weddings... I have the wonderful opportunity of capturing so many unique moments in peoples lives!

I had the pleasure of photographing two familes, two seniors and two weddings, all of which I will be posting very soon!

I could not WAIT though to post some images from Malinda and Bryon's wedding last night (yes, a Thursday night!) on Plum Island!

One year ago yesterday, September 13, 2006, Bryon called me to tell me that he was going to be proposing to Malinda that night, to celebrate their anniversary... and he asked me to photograph every second of it so they could always be reminded and enjoy that huge moment for both of them...

Over the last year, my friendship with Malinda has grown and I am so thrilled to have her as a friend.... She and Bryon are the best of friends and I was so happy to find out that they would be celebrating their wedding on September 13, 2007!

Malinda and Bryon rented this gorgeous gottage at a resort called Blu... I immediately fell in love as soon as we walked through the door... All of the furnishings were white.. the couches, the chairs, cupboards... it had me written all over it...


I loved that everything, including the complimentary flip flops, donned the fancy fancy logo...



Since their wedding was taking place on a Thursday, they chose to host a small ceremony with 20 of their closest friends and immediate families infront of the Hawaiian themed pillars overlooking the ocean at sunset...



Malinda finished all of her bridal preparations while Bryon relaxed in the sand!



The very handsome Bryon didn't shy away from the camera...



The very first minute that Malinda put it on, there was no question that this gown was made for her...



The moments leading up to the ceremony...




Malinda and Bryon exchanged Lei's as a token of their pledge...






Some photographs after the ceremony...













The most delicious Cake I have EVER had... It is a carrot-coconut cake with almond scented cream cheese flavored frosting... I couldn't resist bringing home a piece for Chris too! My mouth is watering just thinking about this heavenly pastry!


They had the perfect details....


One of the fancy things about Blu is that all of the walkways leading to the doors (yes, every door) were lined with blue glass stones... So Classy and Chic!


Malinda knew how to really work this gorgeous gown!






Enjoy this slideshow which has more photographs from this beautiful evening!

Bryon and Malinda, sharing your day meant the world to me... I have been so lucky to share in so many of your biggest life moments together... and I am looking forward to sharing many more with you! All my love to you both!

Labor Day Weekend
