Came back to update this review because Stacy is worth the time to do so for!…read more Booking Stacy as our engagement/wedding photographer several years ago was one of the best decisions I made with regards to our wedding. Not only was she professional, skilled, and friendly, but she helped this bridal dunce navigate wedding planning and "day of" flow. She was amazing with helping us pose and also kept us laughing the entire time, making it way less awkward! We received our photos back while on our honeymoon, so fast, and they are BEAUTIFUL. I have booked Stacy several times since our wedding for various photos including headshots, family porch photos, and dog photos. I could not recommend her enough (and I do, frequently, and friends say the same thing I did: she's amazing!) Recently she came to my neighborhood and did COVID Porch pictures of families to document this time in our lives. She only charged us b/c I made her do so- (and even with my pushing, she was very inexpensive for the short sessions she did)- she does photography for her love of people and her love of the art.

The answer to your questions about hiring Stacy Able Photography is YESSSSSSS. When our destination…read morewedding was impacted by coronavirus we made the decision to get married in Indianapolis, alone, with our families watching over zoom and postpone our big wedding celebration for a year to April of 2021. One of the best decisions we made was finding Stacy and hiring her. We are SO grateful for her work, it made our makeshift elopement real and you will not believe how great the pics turned out. Stacy was recommended to us by a neighbor who knew she did wedding photography and I had not seen her work before but since we desperately wanted someone to photograph our wedding and she was willing to come, wear a mask and maintain a distance so we hired her. OH MY GOD WE ARE SO LUCKY. THESE PICTURES BELONG IN A MAGAZINE. I am not just saying this, she is so good. I have had pictures taken professionally before and it is so awkward, I normally feel so uncomfortable, hate the way I look, my poses, etc. The pictures she captured were flawless. Stacy was professional, prompt, helpful, and boy is she talented - just the best experience possible. It was beyond our expectations. People are still contacting me months after to tell me how great our photos look - like, friends of friends and beyond. People we don't even know are contacting me about these pictures. Hire Stacy! If you are looking at this and would like to talk to me, please ask Stacy for my contact information so I can answer any of your questions, I am happy to connect and give a glowing recommendation. This was the best part about our wedding.

She touched base with me at every point in between and leading up to the wedding and responded quickly to any questions I had.

She captured every moment and emotion with such precision and was able to photograph every point throughout the ceremony and reception so perfectly! She gave us some sneak peaks that night and had the rest to us back in a weeks time! We have been so pleased and are so thankful that we chose her to capture our wedding! Thank you, Jess

Sexy photography…read more That's how I describe Cate's style when telling others to give her a call. I literally used those words yesterday when I told an alcohol distributor to holler her way. Flames, knives cutting meat, laughter, beer, centerpieces, bathrooms, bluegrass - you name it and Cate can make it look 50% sexy and 50% mysterious and I can't get enough of her images! (give her a follow on Instagram). In addition to meat and flame photos, you can holler at Cate for stunning wedding and engagement images. Last but not least, she is super easy to work with - I'm often concerned that I don't provide enough direction or details (one of my weaknesses) but Cate runs with it and makes the magic happen every time.

There is no doubt in my mind that Cate Pickens, the brainchild behind C. Pickens Photography, is a…read morefive-star photographer. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she has a unique stylistic eye that other photographers don't have. While her main focus is engagement shoots and weddings, she's taken professional headshots for me in color and b&w as well as photographed my sorority's formal. On both occasions, I got my images back quickly, but they were not done hastily. I got so many compliments on my headshots from friends and family, and all my sorority sisters loved the photos of them and their dates. She's great at capturing candid moments on the dance floor, as well! If I were in the market for engagement or wedding photos, there is no doubt in my mind I would pick Cate (get it? Cate "Pick"ens? Puns). She's professional and produces incredible work. Check her out on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/cpickensphotography?fref=ts

Working with Chad Swinford Photography was an absolute win for me as a marketing agency owner…read more I hired him to handle brand photography and b-roll for Limitless Woodworking during a tight launch window. Even with a compressed timeline, he took the time to understand the heart behind the brand and what we were trying to communicate. He understood the assignment and delivered. From the first conversation through post-production, the experience felt intentional and white-glove. I'm very type-A and strategic by nature, and Chad balanced that beautifully with his creative perspective. He never made the process feel rushed or stressful, and my clients genuinely enjoyed working with him. It's rare to find someone who cares equally about the final product and the client experience. Chad does both exceptionally well. He captured the images and behind-the-scenes woodshop footage we needed to tell their story and connect with their audience. Getting clients comfortable on camera is not always easy, but he created an environment that made it feel natural and effortless. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer who combines professionalism, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Chad Swinford Photography.
