Q/A’s with Bride to be, Jess, about their midwest engagement session:

To make the save the date signs:Take a plain piece of wood of any size or shape. Choose your base color that you want to show through and paint the entire piece. I used an acrylic paint. Let dry completely. Take Elmer’s All Purpose Glue and cover the paint entirely. I used my finger to spread it out (don’t worry about it being perfectly spread out or even, it adds character). Let sit for about 10-15 seconds (until tacky) and then paint your top coat on top. Let air dry or use hair dryer and you will start to see the cracks come through! The letters are done with a stencil and the same base coat paint. Let dry and there are your signs!!

How’d you two meet? I had heard Chase was a new transfer student for the baseball team and we had seen each other around campus a few times. Many of our friends were mutual and they thought it would be a good idea to set us up on a date. The story goes on from there.

Favorite part of the engagement session? Walking around all the little shops in Nashville and looking at the unique stores and buildings that are tucked away. We loved being able to include Juno in our pictures as she is part of our family.

Wedding plans? The ceremony is at Asbury United Methodist Church on August 18, 2012 with the reception following at Factory 12 event loft. Colors for the wedding are purple and grey and the theme is going to be based around a rustic, cozy, friend and family atmosphere.

From bride to be, Karen: Derrick and I met when I was on spring break in florida. We talked for a few months and then lost contact. I went back down a year later with some girlfriends and ended up running into him on the beach. We have been together since then and did the long distance thing for awhile.. ITS SO HARD!! So he moved here last January.
He proposed in April in his hometown of Ft. Payne, AL. We were down there for his dads wedding weekend and Derrick proposed to me the morning of his fathers wedding at the state park by a waterfall… I chose the ring.. or we went looking together. he picked out his too!
Wedding plans,, humm lets see.. wedding at St. Bartholomew church, reception at the Loft. A second reception in Florida a few days later so some of Derricks friends/family that can’t back it up here can be part of it as well.. After that JAMACIA!!!!!!

Our favorite moment would probably be the tandem bike.. we got some good laughs out of that and I can only imagine my face when I was trying to steer that thing!!

We choose Stacy Able Photography bacuse we wanted something different.. We loved the different ideas and lighting and situations you put your subjects in. We didn’t want cookie cutter pictures and we felt you were the opposite of that!!! Look forward to working with you again at our wedding!!

Q & A’s with bride to be Ashley

How did you two meet? We met in high school, we both had a similar group of friends (he was 16, I was 15) but we had always known who each other was (small town).

The proposal? He proposed the weekend of my 22nd birthday. I felt him wake up around 630 ish and was wondering why he was awake. Around 7/730ish he woke me up, kneeling on my side of the bed and after asking turned around and pulled out the ring from his dresser drawer. We have been together for 8 years now and after about 5 we knew we would get married after college.

The ring? A few months before he proposed he took me to a couple of jewelers and had me pick out a few styles I liked. I am kind of old fashioned so I didn’t want anything really big or flashy. I wanted simple but unique. I found the band I loved and I guess his mom had told him she had a diamond for it. So after he proposed with the ring I loved, he told me that the diamond was from his grandma’s wedding ring (which meant a lot to me).

Wedding plans? Our wedding is going to be at a home down in Fort Morgan, Alabama on the bay side. We are getting married out on the sand and having our reception at this  big old house. It’s March 31st 2012 and it is very small. There are only 25 guests, which are immediate family and my three best friends from nursing school.

Favorite part of the engagement session? The last location, a cliff/hill at Brown County State Park. The sun was gorgeous and the field was awesome! It was exactly what I had imagined.

Why did you choose Stacy Able Photography? … because her pictures were gorgeous and unique. I could tell she liked natural lighting and simple but classic photos. At the same time her photos didn’t look like a million other photographers. I loved our session and had a blast! I can’t wait to hopefully one day book Stacy again for maternity and family photos! Thanks soo much! Great experience!!

How did you both meet? Denise and I met in Calculus class freshman year at Rose Hulman, and we did homework together all year. When didn’t start dating until sophomore year though.

How did Mike propose? I knew that we were both going to be dressed up at my cousin’s wedding in Mobile, Alabama, and I wanted to take the chance to propose where my family could see. I got on one knee and she was very surprised.

Who picked out the ring? I picked it out in secret when she was on vacation with her family. I knew she liked surprises!

Favorite part of the engagement session? Being able to do it at Rose where we met and fell in love, was fantastic, thanks so much for going with us there.

Wedding inspiration (colors, decor, details, etc)? Turquoise and orange, fun and casual laid back atmosphere.

Noblesville Indiana Engagement Photography: Margaret + Jason

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

I met up with Margaret and Jason before the 2010 holidays and I was so excited to be booked for their fall 2011 wedding in Crown Point, Indiana. They are much fun to chat with not to mention Margaret is a fellow redhead with gorgeous freckles. Their engagement session was in Noblesville as Margaret wanted to incorporate the park’s carousel. Unfortunately the carousel didn’t open until the afternoon, but we still had fun roaming around the park and even getting photos with the trains. I can’t wait until their fall green/ivory wedding– should be lots of fun as there were lots of laughs during their engagement session.

Midwest Engagement photography: Starkey + Kate in Columbus, Indiana

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Memorial day less than 5 days before their wedding, I met up with Kate and Starkey to take engagement photos of them. Last minute they decided for me to shoot an engagement session, which I’m glad they did. Kate being from Columbus, we roamed the park and surrounded downtown Columbus, Indiana spots. I focused on natural light and their love and happiness. These two were super easy to photograph as they are goofy, adorable, and in love. Kate had her wedding makeup trial done for the engagement session by my friend and amazing makeup artist, Kat Sterrett. Although it was a mere 90 degrees, Kate and Starkey had a blast and had me laughing behind the lens.

Engagement Photography Sessions with Dogs!

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

I try not to dog-geek out clients, but I really love dogs. We have four Barbet (French Water Dogs), a Chihuahua, and a dog that came with the house. So, when a client mentions they have a dog I almost insist we incorporate their furry best friend in their engagement (or family) session. In honor of all the special pooches out there, I’m devoting a best of 2010 blog post to them.
