Feature Friday | Styled Shoot | South Italy Il Mercato

We LOVED being a part of this Italian inspired wedding at Il Mercato Wedding Venue in New Orleans, LA. This fab shoot was tons of fun and Theresa Elizabeth Photography did a incredible job of capturing every gorgeous detail.

We are proud to announce that this styled shoot has been featured in Southern Bride magazine! It was recently published in their Winter/Spring 2020 issue, and will be released online any day now!

Bridal beauty prep

Tina with Verde Beauty had the pleasure of working with not one, but TWO gorgeous ladies for this shoot. She did a wonderful job of coordinating both hairstyles to create a simple, yet sophisticated look. Tina chose natural makeup with a pop of color on the lips which fit in perfectly with this theme.

Il Mercato is located in the heart of New Orleans' Lower Garden District. It’s historical beauty provides a romantic setting for wedding celebrations year round. Il Mercato can be altered to fit every style of bride, making it the perfect venue for this shoot. With it’s numerous indoor and outdoor venue choices, the options are endless!

It’s All in the Details!
