Karen & Derricks’s Fall Engagement session in Brown County by Columbus Indiana Photographer Stacy Able

admin — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:22:59 +0000

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!!

Bloomington Indiana Engagement Photographer: Jamie + Dion

admin — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 13:07:49 +0000

Jamie had so many great location ideas for her engagement session! We started on the tiny bit of sand on Lake Monroe in Bloomington, Indiana. They wanted to get a feel of ocean as the couple had lived in Charleston so the Bloomington, Indiana lake was a great substitution. There were moments that I felt like I was back in South Carolina as Clemson, Like IU, is right on lake Hartwell. After Cooper, the couple’s Yorkie romped in the sand (I always love when couples include their pets in their sessions) we headed over to Nashville, Indiana where Jamie works. She obtained special access to the theater which had a totally different feel than the lake. I channeled my inner Joe McNally (a great photographer) and used some off camera lighting for dramatic yet romantic engagement photos.

My fav from the session

I can not wait until your summer 2011 wedding at Deer Park Manor in Bloomington, Indiana– it is such a beautiful place to have a wedding!!

Indianapolis, Indiana Pet Photography: Chanel the Yorkie

admin — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:42:35 +0000

I was fortunate to meet up with Jessica and Matt on a gorgeous warm fall day to photograph their adorable Yorkshire Terrier, Chanel. This tiny ball of energy was a joy to photograph. She watched her parents and followed their lead enabling me to capture her personality or I like to say dog-ality. Chanel weighs all of 3.5 pounds but her intelligence is through the roof. She knows how to sit, stay, lay down, bark loud and soft, roll over, and several other adorable tricks.

With her fluffy ears, deep brown eyes, and energetic happy demeanor, Chanel was a great subject and I can not wait to get some prints made of her for my doggy portfolio.

Columbus Indiana Wedding Photography: Bridal Portraits

admin — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:45:56 +0000

Bridal portraits are a series of formal pictures of the bride in her wedding dress taken weeks before the wedding sometimes at the photographers studio but more commonly on location. If the session is done outdoors and special steps are taken to ensure the dress does not get dirty. Sometimes a couple may choose to have a picture taken of them both (similar to an engagement/”e-session”) in addition or instead of a bridal portrait.

Many brides use the bridal portrait photos in wedding announcements, albums, online, as well as display a large print at the reception. These sessions are great for a bride who is picky and is concerned about getting the best photo without the rush and nerves of the wedding day. Step forward a couple years, when the bridal portrait is on the grooms desk or framed and displayed at family members’ homes, the bride is happy she had these portraits done. Going to school at Clemson in South Carolina, I noticed several brides getting these bridal portraits.

The best time to do these may need to be timed along with local newspapers and invitation designers as the bride will have to check with them to see what their time lines are. Other things to consider are getting hair and makeup done to ensure the bride has a polished elegant look similar to her wedding day. As for flowers, pho-flowers or a quick trip to a farmers market for local flowers will do. Spending tons of money on a bouquet for the bridal session isn’t necessary.

In addition to the Trash the Dress Sessions I’ve been doing, I’ve done some elegant bridal sessions. Most recently, I shot Kyissa in Columbus, Indiana in a studio like setting. We did not harm the dress and even did some almost trash the dress-like shots as we used my vintage french fainting couch outside, but her dress did not come in contact with dirt.
