As I bid sweet summer adieu, I’m relishing in any toes-in-the-sand goodness I can get my hands on. Thankfully, this coastal gem made it’s way into my inbox by way of the ever intriguing Kyle John Photography just in time. One Kelly Lenard bouquet and a Sarah Seven dress later and I’m reminded of why beach bridal sessions win me over every time.
From Kyle John Photography…
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
– Lord Byron
