Carley and Kyler’s Joy-Filled Wedding at the Charming Banyan Estate, Malabar, FL

Carley and Kyler's Wedding at the Charming and Classic Banyan Estate was a day overflowing with joy — a truly blissful celebration as they were surrounded by their dearest family and friends who genuinely expressed their excitement for Carley and Kyler joining together in marriage. Their wedding was whimsical while also timeless; one-of-a-kind and uniquely their own. Every detail, between the elegant and the vibrant, perfectly complemented Carley and Kyler's marriage celebration suiting them as a couple and represented who they are together.

A Charming Setting at the Banyan Estate

One of the most unique aspects of the Banyan Estate venue in Malabar, Florida is their ceremony space options. As a wedding photographer, I have shot a couple of weddings at the Banyan Estate. It has become one of my favorite venues for their charm, character, and elegance. Not only that, but truly they have some of the best staff I have ever worked with (Daniela is the best!).

For your wedding ceremony at the Banyan Estate, one of their options is their second floor Chandelier room which has windows on each side bringing in an abundance of natural light. Carley and Kyler had their ceremony in the luminous Chandelier room detailed with a beautiful wooden cross adorned with pastel florals and sheer chiffon draping. The details of the altar, the glorious chandeliers, and the windows covering each side of the room made for a dreamy ceremony setting.

Elegance and Vibrance Hand in Hand

The timeless beauty of elegance and classic details marked Carley and Kyler's wedding day, but so did the delight of whimsical charm and liveliness. Carley's strapless ballgown covered with lace detail, her delicate pearl-edged veil, the candle-lit reception, and their very own choreographed first dance that was filled with grace and romance marked their day with timeless touches. While keeping things classic, Carley and Kyler didn't stop there.

They also decided to make their wedding day uniquely their own — choosing fun details that complemented who they are as a couple. One of these fun details was their decision to have a coffee cart from River Road Coffee during their Cocktail Hour. River Road Coffee provided customized coffees according to Carley and Kyler's favorite flavors. This made for a fun cocktail hour option for their guests and suited who Carley and Kyler are — two coffee-lovers! Another fun detail was their customized converse, matching each other with “I love you endlessly” written on their shoes. Not to mention their perfect use of pink adding a whimsical and romantic feel to their wedding day aesthetic. Carley and Kyler's day was one of a kind because they chose details that truly complemented them.

A Day Filled with Love and Centered around Christ

The most notable take-away from Carley and Kyler's wedding day is the radiant love between them as well as their loved ones, and the love they have for Christ and their commitment to building their marriage on the foundation of Jesus.

Carley and Kyler chose to make their wedding first and foremost about Jesus — His love for them, and how His love is the reason they get to love each other. One practical way they did this was by sharing communion together during their wedding ceremony. Communion is a symbol of the believer's unity with Christ, and by joining in that together during the wedding ceremony, it is a symbol of their marriage being in unity with Christ.

The love, excitement, and pure joyful celebration expressed by Carley and Kyler's closest family and friends on their wedding day was contagious. They truly are surrounded by some of the most wonderful family and friends who were beyond excited to celebrate Carley and Kyler's marriage. It was such a joy to witness and an honor to be apart of celebrating Carley and Kyler with them.
