Good morning all!
Now, I’m not going to lie, I’ve been itching to post these photos ever since I snapped the shutter two weeks ago! You see, I was lucky enough to attend a recent stylized bridal shoot coordinated by the lovely Mabyn Ludke of Mabyn Ludke Photography, and wedding designer Shannon Lach of The Events Company! I worked with four of our “models”, Kim & Jacob and Amanda & Jordan. To keep it simple, I’m giving each couple their own post, so be sure to check back for Amanda & Jordan later this week!
Kim and Jacob were SO much fun to work with. First, they were up for absolutely anything! When I wondered aloud if Kim would be able to climb into the collapsed portion of the roof, she responded gamely, “Absolutely I can!!” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the things that makes for a fabulous model. Jacob was just as fabulous, even sporting a pink bow tie, mohawk and hipster glasses to complete the ensemble. When I had him do his “GQ pout,” he laughed so. hard. which gave me one of my favorite shots of the day! He then proceded to quote (as I put it) be all GQ for me end quote. (That’s what we call official art directing talk.)
Kim and Jacob, thank you so much for being a part of this day! You’re def at the top of my “models to use for amazing shoots in the future,” and I can’t wait to work with you again!!
Here are some of my favorite shots from my time with Mr. and Mrs. Milea. Take a peek and, as always, be sure to leave them some comment love down below!

Loved the graffiti wall! Could you ask for a more perfect backdrop for a hipster bridal shoot? Kim was the happiest bride!! Loved her smile :)…and capital L-O-V-E-D her shoes! Her pink converse totally tied everything together!I must be lots funnier than I’ve been told… this is Kim’s serious face ˆ ;)Bow ties will get me every time! Is it weird that I wish guys wore them… every day? These next two shots are two of my faves! Jacob, you’re so good at the GQ thing!So lovely Kim!!
“The GQ Giggle” ˆ <3!!!These photos just get me every time! Kim’s expression is just so happy! Love!I’ll have to stop designating “favorites” so early on in posts. Because… well… you know :)Mabyn did such an amazing job coordinating props and setups! Loved that she brought her vintage suitcase collection to share……and the “ceremony site” setup was just so lovely and minimalist! I especially enjoyed the quilts <3B-e-a-utiful, lovely!

Awesome pictures. Kim is gorgeous, and as always, Jacob’s nerd glasses are fantastic.
