POINTE
“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
