Colorful Balloon Styled Shoot at Kinsey Vintage Market, Pittsburgh

Featured in MunaLuchi Bride magazine, Issue No. 26, the unique industrial venue of Kinsey Vintage Market in Pittsburgh sets the scene for this wildly colorful balloon-styled shoot!

Event Planner, Jenna Shuknecht of Wildly Loved, started her company to inspire couples to embrace their own unique personalities and have fun with their wedding planning. She shares, “People need to know that weddings are a celebration of love and they can be as fun and as unique as the couple getting married!”

With this goal in mind, she designed this wildly colorful balloon-styled shoot! The Kinsey Vintage Market in Pittsburgh was the perfect industrial backdrop to offset the rainbow explosion of colorful balloon art by The Cheerful Balloon Co. An equally colorful stationery suite by K. Flowers Designs and whimsical floral art by GreenSinner added to the shoot’s bright and playful energy. The finishing touch to it all, and maybe the most important for Jenna, was using a real couple as models.

Engaged to be married in September 2023, Cydney and Kalion’s real love helped bring my vision to life. One of the best parts was when Kalion, our groom, asked his future Bride, Cydney, if they were having balloons at their future wedding. The fact that he loved the idea so much and wanted it for his own wedding made my heart fly!”

About Jenna & Wildly Loved…

I have been in the wedding industry for over 10+ years and recently started my own company, Wildly Loved, where I help couples plan a WEDDING THAT IS TRULY theirs and that is Wildly Loved!

It was so important to me that I start this business because I believe EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE) deserves to be Wildly Loved. End. Of. Story.

I have done other styled shoots in the past, but this one is the first one that I planned and designed as Wildly Loved. I wanted it to represent who I am and what my business is about. It was important to share my love for people, fun colors, and not being afraid to step out of the box (especially for your wedding)!

The venue…

I am always inspired by unconventional and non-traditional places. So when I came across Kinsey Vintage Market (an old electrical warehouse now turned vintage market and event venue) I knew we could do something really fun and unexpected.

With Kinsey Vintage Market being such a unique and industrial venue, I really wanted to push the idea of using what was already there. I loved the juxtaposition of the unfinished, textured warehouse and our vibrant, colorful shoot. Don’t get me wrong, I love a classic, ivory and white color scheme for a wedding. However, I wanted to showcase that you can throw in some pops of color and unique elements to make your day truly as special as your love for one another.

Inspiration…

My inspiration came from my love of color, balloons, florals, confetti, unique places, and love for my fellow “friendors” in our special Pittsburgh wedding community. Working with this amazing vendor team, my love for our community only grew.

Decor…

For our decor, I have been in love with the idea of balloons for weddings (even before they became popular!) and wanted to make them a fun focal point in this shoot. I had balloons hanging from the beams, on the tables, and even mini flower balloons mixed in with real flowers!

The teeny tiny balloons in the flat lay details and bouquets, the bright and vibrant colors in the tablescape, and the fun-loving emotions between the real couple all intertwined to create a lively and energetic wedding-inspired shoot!

The goal…

Ultimately, people need to know that weddings are a celebration of love and they can be as fun and as unique as the couple getting married! At Wildly Loved, I am all about being uniquely you and not being afraid of bringing that out when it comes to planning your wedding day. This was another reason why having a real couple model for the styled shoot was really important.

Favorite memory…

One of the best parts was when Kalion, our groom, asked his future Bride, Cydney, if they were having balloons at their future wedding. The fact that he loved the idea so much and wanted it for his own wedding made my heart fly!
