Captured by Kingsley James Studios, muted tones and refined textures come together to reimagine elegance in this dreamy pastel-styled shoot at Lithia Acres in Tampa, Florida.
Entitled “A Pastel Reverie: Love Knotted,” the romantic editorial is “a tribute to the power, beauty, and elegance of Black brides.” Wanting to honor the “emotion, movement, and cultural grace of Black bridal excellence,” Kingsley chose to capture the shoot in film-inspired, documentary-style photography, adding a level of depth and soul to each shot.
The editorial centers on a pastel color palette, present throughout every detail of its mesmerizing florals and thoughtfully curated décor. Paired with a serene outdoor setting and a flowing, romantic gown, the shoot beautifully portrays an idyllic, whimsical wedding day.
From classic pearl details to the perfectly picked blush blooms, see more photos from the dreamy styled shoot below.
