An Il Mercato Wedding
This summertime Il Mercato wedding was a blast to shoot! I was asked to associate this wedding for Mary-Kaitlyn Allen, and let me tell you, it was an absolute honor! Shoutout to Caroline from Iris & Oak Events. She was the real MVP, keeping us on track all day, and working with her was a total joy. Haley and her girls got ready at the most amazing apartment right down the street from Il Mercato making the logistics of the day just super easy! I just want to point out that in this era of the Babie movie, this group of girls nailed their Babie-core looks!
Let’s talk flowers – Elle Floral Design nailed it with the most colorful and stunning wedding florals. Seriously, the venue looked like a dream with all those vibrant blooms—major kudos to them for adding that extra touch of elegance and fun. Ranna Zahra McSwain with Love is My Calling brought her A-game, making it sweet and unique in a way only she can. The wedding guests went from dancing in the Lower Garden District to Kinfolk during the second line to getting down to Dat Band at the reception. The energy was great!
Huge thanks to Haley & Gage for letting me step in for Glamour & Grace. I felt so lucky to be part of their special day. Every little detail – from the vows to the dance floor – just seemed to fall into place perfectly. Working with a team of pros – the planner, florist, officiant, and musicians – made it all come together seamlessly. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the start of an awesome journey. This Il Mercato wedding was pure magic, and I’m grateful to have been part of it!
