About

I’m Stacy Able, a professional photographer based in Indianapolis, Indiana. My foundation began with my Bachelor’s of Science degree from Clemson University in Graphic Communications.

I specialize in local and destination weddings and have captured over 300 celebrations. My photography assignments have taken me from Illinois, California, Washington State, North Carolina, Florida, to New York along with international destinations such as: Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Canada, and the Dominican Republic.

My style can be described as romantic, modern, and photojournalistic. I use various Nikon and Sony digital cameras to tell your story. My work has been published in local and national publications such as The New York Times, The Knot, Indianapolis Monthly, various magazines, and online with Style Me Pretty, and Wedding Chicks. You can see some of those features on my published page.

Originally a California military brat, I ended up in Indiana due to meeting a, tall, bearded man with a big heart at the Bloomington Farmer’s market. This man, Walter, began the conversation with my chihuahua, Lola. From that day forward, our love story began—one full of farmers markets, dogs, and volunteering together in Guatemala. In 2007, Walter proposed at the Casa Santo Domingo in Antigua, Guatemala, where we were married on November 1, 2008. We chose to wed in Central America as we wanted our Guatemalan “family” with whom we’ve volunteered and lived with to attend. You can see a few of our wedding images here: Guatemala Destination Wedding.

When not photographing weddings, food, and other portraits, you can find me with my Barbet (french water dog) pack. I also enjoy cooking ambitious foodie delicacies, traveling, and volunteering at Eskenazi with our Love on a Leash therapy dogs Cinna and Gaia.

We love Stacy!

She is a fantastic photographer, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She helped us feel natural while taking thousands of photos and also helped direct our large group so we stayed on timeline. The subtle direction she gave was also so needed and made us feel more comfortable! The photos turned out beautifully!!

Best Vendor!

I can't think of anything Stacy and her second-shooter, Walter, could have done better. They melted into the background when it was time for candid shots, they took command when people needed to be wrangled for group shots, and they went above and beyond to make the day as perfect as possible. The best example is Walter going and getting our dog from the hotel room so we could get some shots with him. The photos are beautiful too! As someone who is typically not very photogenic, I am amazed at how many gorgeous photos of me Stacy captured. 10/10, absolutely would hire again and we may travel back to the location of our out-of-day wedding in the future for her to photograph future milestones. Thank you Stacy and Walter!

Best decision we made!

Stacy was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. The forecast predicted rain all day meaning we had to move our ceremony indoors and we wouldn’t get to take our outdoor garden photos like we planned. Stacy was never phased and effortlessly pivoted the plan to make sure we still got all of the pictures we wanted—and they are some of the most gorgeous pictures we’ve ever seen! Beyond her amazing talent, Stacy and her husband Walter were professional, efficient, and put us both at ease for the whole day. We are so thankful to them!!

Hiring Stacy for our wedding was the best decision we made

Hiring Stacy for our wedding was the best decision we made. She came as a strong recommendation from our planner and it is easy to tell why. Not only is she is incredibly kind, with a remarkable ability to put people at ease, but she also overdelivers with her images in every way. The way she captured our engagement session and a full weekend of wedding festivities blew us away and is something we'll cherish forever. Even our guests commented on how she really got in the action and captured the dance floor without impacting the vibe, and those are some of our favorite photographs from the night. My parents also could not stop raving about what a delight she was and how painless she made the process of many formal photos. It is true that you will spend more time on your wedding day with your photographer than anyone else - and there is not a better person to have by your side than Stacy.

Best photographer

Stacy and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding process. We love her and Walter so much! She handled our very large wedding party so well. We can’t stop looking at all of our photos, it’s hard to pick favorites because she did a great job capturing so many! Stacy was also a calming presence for me throughout the wedding planning process and was able to share some of her wedding wisdom to help us have them best weekend.

The Wedding Photographer You Need

Picking Stacy as our photograph was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure make sure she captured everything perfectly on the big day - and even captured all the small details you wouldn't even have thought of.

For the engagement shoot as well as our couple shots during the wedding, she was extremely helpful in guiding us and giving us direction on how to stand, where to place our hands, etc. to ensure that she could capture the best angles. I cannot stress how helpful this was, especially for my husband and I who don't take many pictures.

She was professional, personable and had great communication throughout, which made her very easy to work with. She was able to turn around the photos shortly after the wedding and they turned out gorgeous! I cannot express how happy we are with picking her. Also, she was able to capture all of our dog's (the ring bearer) adorable moments too!

Capture moments, not just photos with Stacy Able

My wife searched through portfolios of a bunch of photographers in the area of our wedding venue and we agreed that Stacy was the obvious standout. In her previous work we saw the capturing of MOMENTS which gave us a glimpse of who these people are. We wanted not just visual documentation of our day, but those sparkle-in-the-eyes moments that happen when groups of people who love each other gather in celebration. We got that with Stacy.

She helped us first with our engagement photos. That experience solidified her as the photographer we wanted for our wedding. It's so easy to follow directions from Stacy and she finds ways of extracting beauty and interest out of seemingly simple set ups. It's a testament to her skill. When our outdoor venue was rained on, Stacy rolled with it and got some beautiful photos of us taking advantage of the rain (instead of avoiding it). All the while, Stacy was getting soaked and continuing to suggest great shots. Rain or no, we knew Stacy would be the right person for the job and we were very thankful for the results. We would go with Stacy again in an instant.

Memories that we will forever cherish.

Stacy captures moments you didn’t even know happened. Our wedding day was unfortunately raining, however her and Walter were out in the rain capturing every shot for us. When my husband and I received our photos, within a very quick timeline I might add, we were able to relive the day over and over. The entire wedding goes by so quickly and it’s easy to feel like you missed things, but seeing what Stacy was able to catch with her creativity and passion made us so happy we chose her and would never choose anyone else.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
