Mattie and Gabe are the ultimate dynamic duo. They go together like gin and tonic on a summer day. We kicked off their photoshoot at the historic Burnside Inn on Indianapolis' Massachusetts Avenue. Thanks to a connection with the manager, we had access to the entire three-story bar. The space, named after Civil War general and sideburn pioneer Ambrose Burnside, was the perfect backdrop for their groovy 70s vibe. Mattie came fully prepared with props and a wardrobe change, making the session even more fun.

The records they held were genuine vintage treasures from Gabe's parents' collection. As a fellow vinyl enthusiast, I was so loving every second of this.

The pool table added the perfect vintage flair to the scene

We next moved onto 16-bit arcade for some more fun

Our final stop was the often-overlooked gem of downtown Indy, the Indiana War Memorial and Museum. This stunning architectural marvel boasts a rooftop perspective without the typical rooftop hassles. It's a truly unique and inspiring location.
