stylized shoot Cinco de Mayo submitted by trysh jaeger photography on location st elijah event center Spring is a wonderful time to get married! The snow is melted, the sun is out and the bright colors of flowers we missed all winter are finally starting to pop up. The idea of photographing a “Cinco de Mayo” themed stylized photo shoot came from choosing a date right in the middle of Spring. We tied everything together by incorporating bright colors, mismatched Spanish theme, a gorgeous model and yes, a TACO BAR! (Who doesn’t love tacos?) I hope you enjoy our fun twist on this theme. 62 #THEWEDDINGMAG l v e n u e St Elijah Event Center is conveniently located in Merrillville, bordering Crown Point, less than a mile south of Route 30 on Taft.
