Bridal Photo Shoot | Robbie & Mieke

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh, Mieke and Robbie.

All the heart emojis in the world couldn't begin to cover my love for the two of you.

You guys, these newlyweds showed up in front of my lens with an amazing, classically beautiful look (shout out to the glam squad!) and the remarkable ability to strike stunning poses with absolutely no direction from me ("Ohmygosh, just. DON'T. MOVE. You're perfect right where you are!"--Me, all afternoon). From here on out, we'll just refer to the Binders as the dream team, sound good?

So the Dream Team and I took our own little tour inside the gorgeous Indiana State Museum, until we ventured outside for a bit and wound up locked out of the building! Luckily, we were rescued just in time as some serious rain started in over our heads! 

Another stroke of Dream Team awesomeness happened about a month later when Mieke & Robbie showed up for our vintage photo shoot in Ohio--more on that to come soon! But for now, enjoy this glimpse at these two in all of their adorable bridal shoot glory. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Melanie | Indy Bridal Shoot #3

You guys. Let us just say first that Melanie was a DREAM to work with for our bridal shoot! She was so excited to get another use out of her gorgeous wedding gown and jewelry, and WE were excited to get her in front of our cameras! The Glam Squad did an amazing job with her makeup and hair (UM, we were SO jealous of those lashes, and can you blame us?!?). She was so natural in front of the camera, and we loved having her classic look as a part of our bridal shoot day. Her images were taken in and around the fabulous Indiana State Museum, and we are beyond smitten with ALL of them!

We were also able to pair her with Kiefer (yup, TOTALLY not her husband!) for some fun couple shots! They were such good sports!

Thank you for participating, Melanie! You were an awesome model and are such a lovely person, inside and out!

Candice | Indy Bridal Shoot

What can you say about Candice? She joined our shoot as one of our hairstylists but was open to modeling. Um, yes please. We LOVED her look and couldn’t wait to get her in front of our lenses! She didn’t have a wedding gown yet (she was engaged to be married at the time, and her gown wasn’t in yet), so she improvised and brought some adorable casual bridal looks. Her tattoos, her vintage look perfected by our Glam Squad, and her natural beauty combined to make her such an awesome participant in our bridal shoot.

The first location we had with her was in Greenfield near this awesome vintage truck. We were ecstatic about how these turned out.

Later, we traveled to Indy where Candice switched to her second look (in a fantastic conference room courtesy of the wonderful Indiana State Museum). We then took her out to shoot near Georgia Street for some more urban settings.

Thank you SO much to Candice for coming from Ohio to spend her entire day with us. You were such a natural and gave us some amazing images!

Kiefer | Bridal Shoot #2

When we decided to do a wedding photo shoot, we just KNEW we had to ask Kiefer if he wanted to join us simply because he is so stylish! He provided his own wardrobe (and nope, he hasn't even been a groom yet himself!), and we were thrilled with his bowtie and overall dapper look. Plus, our Glam Squad added some great finishing touches. We absolutely loved the end result thanks to Kiefer, our awesome team, and the stunning locations in and around the Indiana State Museum!
