Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Erin + Kyle

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Last weekend I tag teamed with Autumn in Lafayette, Indiana to shoot a gorgeous wedding. The bride looked like a classic movie star in her mermaid curve hugging gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline. Her bridesmaids looked chic in black strapless cocktail length gowns and various spike heels.

This wedding brought me back to the Laguna Beach, California wedding I shot in February. The details in both the brides and bridesmaids hair, jewelry, makeup, and shoes had that “California” vibe. I couldn’t stop admiring all the girls hair as each one was similar yet different. Braids, twists, and curls– I have not seen such polished updos in a long time.

Anyhow, the wedding went flawlessly complete with a combining of the sands of the minister/church and bride and groom. It was the first time I’ve seen the “church” represented in the sand blending which I appreciated the symbolism.

Indianapolis, Indiana Trash the Dress: Andria

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Finally, a true trash the dress. In an earlier post this year, I explained what trash the dress means. I have been shooting a fair amount of these lately and met up with Andria to do a true trash the dress. What I mean by true, is we trashed the dress. Andria was up for anything, so we headed to a park in Columbus Indiana which had a clean waterfall. Andria hoped in dress and all. Good thing this lady is a personal trainer as once that puffy gown became wet it must have been upwards of 30 pounds. Regardless, Andria posed beautifully and we found out it’s harder to hear while under the waterfall vs underwater. In shooting this, I kept thinking about the RocknRoll bride blog as if you’ve seen her blog it features the most beautiful photography with focus on creativity and “rocknroll” style.

Columbus | Bloomington Indiana Trash the Dress: Brittany

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Brittany and I have been trying to get together to do a trash the dress for around 6 months. Either snow, ice, or scheduling have prevented us from shooting. Finally, in late June we were able to coordinate and get together for a trash the dress/bridal session extraordinaire.

We decided to start with a studio setting to get some dramatic bridal portraits then move to downtown Columbus, Indiana and neighboring areas to get some fashion and themed shots. I believe my favorite shot from this session which was hard to me to chose, was the mock Cinderella photo. Brittany, besides having the longest eyelashes I’ve ever seen, brought these amazing white heels which really completed the Cinderella theme I was going for. It was a whopping 87 degrees outside, and Brittany carted her Disney dress around with a smile and lots of laughs. That dress had to weigh at least 30 pounds!

This shoot  got the wheel of  ideas going in my head and I’m leaning to do some more fairy tale trash the dresses as well as senior portrait sessions with a prom/fashion trash the dress theme. I can’t wait for what’s coming up these next couple of months.

As you can see below, trash the dress doesn’t necessarily mean the wedding dress will be trashed. It’s about celebrating the wedding dress and being able to wear it one more time before it goes into storage.

Columbus Indiana Family Photography: The K Family

Monday, July 20th, 2009

It was a gorgeous un-humid July afternoon when I met up with the “K” family and their rambunctious labs, Coco, Thelma, and Louise. The parents babies before the children was their pet lab, Cocoa, so naturally a family portrait would not be complete with out Cocoa, and the two new additions, Thelma and Louise. Pet photography is strangely like toddler/child photography. You have a very small window to get the dogs attention. Well for this on location family photography session, we started outside with the indiana corn growing abundantly around us. I moved them into the shade with my vintage chairs for seating and the mom’s gorgeous echinacea and black eyed susan garden for background ambiance. Gorgeous!

After shooting some at the house, including the family portrait with the tail waggers, we headed over to Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana to continue the family shots. Even though we are in Indiana, we were able to find a patch of “mock beach” near the river to get some water and sunset photos that I so loved to do in California.

Columbus Indiana Photographer::: Model Portfolio

Friday, July 17th, 2009

A couple weeks ago I met up with Stephanie whom I had worked with before a couple months ago to do a themed shoot. Quasi alice in wonderland/greek goddess. She does figure modeling and this girl knows how to pose even down to her beautiful tiny toes! We met up at a park in Indianapolis and even though it felt like 100 degrees outside, Stephanie didn’t gripe one bit and we got some awesome creative shots. I’m working on a collaboration with a fashion designer, Stephanie, and a makeup artist in August so keep your eyes peeled for more creative goodness from Stacy Able Photography.

Columbus Indiana Photography::: The House with the Rock

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago in the midst of photographing a deluge of  June weddings, I shot a beautiful home in Columbus, Indiana. Their home is known for it’s huge rock outside and rightfully so! This rock is great for pick nicks, reading a book, and so many other things. The previous owner’s children assumed the rock would be going with them when they moved– it is that important! It was a wee bit sunny, but the grass glistened with the morning dew and I can not begin to describe how amazing their hydrangeas are! They gave me a bag full and I can not wait to get some roots to start my own hydrangea bushes. These flowers are the size of my head! Besides the flowers, their backyard is stunning! Their pool is a bright turquoise and long enough for you to get a good lap in. By taking photos of this stunning home, I gained an appreciation for the craftsmanship in this house and neighborhood.
