“For this shoot, I was inspired by the idea of elegant chandeliers laying in the midst of an old building. I immediately knew Tremé Market Branch was the perfect location, with their dedication to the original architectural elements of the building including plaster and beautiful windows that are almost 100 years old. This was one of those times when everything just clicked because I also immediately knew I wanted a beautiful, strong woman dancing on pointe. I could see her jumping the broom with the graceful movements of a ballet dancer and that led to us using blush tones and a lot of tulle for the shoot. We then incorporated a beautiful bouquet that had the same freeform movement as the dancer and a gorgeous invitation with the same soft feminine qualities as the shoot, including the pink colors and beautiful vellum wrap.”

– Rena Sweeney, Alchemy Events

ABOUT TREMÉ MARKET BRANCH:

Originally built as a bank in 1925, Tremé Market Branch was restored in 2012 as has since served as a Cultural Arts Theater and special events venue. Located in the heart of one of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhoods, historic Faubourg Tremé, this nearly 100 year old building features an lavish gold chandelier and soaring arched windows and lots of vintage charm.

ELEMENT’s crystal ball chandeliers add an amazing vintage glow whether hanging or, as shown here, grouped as elegant conglomerations on the ground. Here we lined the aisle with five foot tall candelabra and gold oval back chairs for guest seating.

All of Passport Polish’s nail colors are inspired by exotic destinations. Here, Kaylin wears Passport Polish’s press-on nails in St. Barth, a nude polish inspired by the beaches of this luxurious island it’s named after.

From MaeMe The Bridal Boutique, Kaylin is wearing“Ensleigh”. This gown features a plunge neckline, V-side cutouts and V-back details. The sheer bodice includes sparkling linear lace detailing and embroidered tulle. The A-line skirt reveals a sultry split that shows the leg through a thin outer layer of tulle.

For Kaylin’s look, Tina Rodosta of Verde Beauty Studio wanted to keep the makeup “light, beautiful and bridal, but defined.” To achieve this, she focused on defining her brows, used a dark eyeliner with a nice highlight finished with a soft pink lip.
