I frequently find myself dreaming of paradise, and in those moments where I need a visual I’ll quickly scroll to this inspo from Kylie Martin. Complete with salty air and sun-kissed skin, every detail proves that Hawaii is the ultimate canvas for romance. The cool rush of the ocean paired with Passion Roots blooms, it’s an inspiration that has me dreaming of an endless summer, and you can see it all here!
From Kylie Martin…“But these are the days we dream about when the sunlight paints us gold”
The inspiration for this session was drawn from natural textures and light located on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. During the late winter months the sea casts large swells that release a salty spray throughout the air, as the sun begins to sink into the horizon a rush of gold light pours out over the ocean and reflects into the hazy air creating a serene, romantic canvas. We chose a gown that was modern but feminine, the natural textures found throughout the gown were complimentary to the location we shot in. We wanted our Bride’s hair to feel effortless but still maintain a chic quality. Kendra was able to create two stunning original looks out of one, this helped create a “day to night” or “ceremony to reception” hairstyle. A lush, overgrown bouquet completed the look by incorporating neutral colors and a unique arrangement. The concept was to create an effortlessly chic look that can appeal to any bride who wants to remain classic but allow for some modern touches.
