Today’s minimal beach wedding inspiration by Kyle John brings things back to nature and its natural beauty. This isn’t a toes-in-the-sand, seashells and cocktails kind of beach shoot, but one taken on a rocky seashore with the ocean backdrop on one side, and immense black rocks on the other. Kelly Lenard brings us beautiful florals with pops of pastels, bringing forth color amid the neutral palette of the earthly surroundings.
From the photographer…There is a beach, by the edge of the wood, where walls of sharp black rock, regally tower from above ancient tree crowns into the deep pure waters by the ocean shore. Encompassed by this scape is a girl, blinding in beauty like a light that’s mirrored between the bleak rocky walls on the beach, waiting for the sun to stretch its arms above the horizon. Her delicate silk dress, draped on her body, is elegant in its simplicity. She’s refined, yet possesses a sort of wildness in her eyes. A confidence that burns like a lantern in the night. Unharmed by the piercing rocks beneath her naked feet, she conveys an unwavering strength from deep within. And as the first rosy rays embrace her on the shore, it appears to me so obviously, she is the breath of dawn, softening the treacherously beautiful landscape from which she was born.
