To say that the Otter wedding has had some setbacks would be putting it mildly. Some have been small, like the shoes that were out of stock, some have been big, like me losing my primary job smack dab in the middle of wedding planning. So when, just a few days ago, we found ourselves on the hunt for a photographer, I decided that this setback was going to be on the minor side of things.
Without a bit of hesitation, I immediately emailed someone that I knew would be a perfect fit for our day—the lovely Stacy Able.
I cannot sing Stacy’s praises enough! When I interned at Deer Park Manor, I got to work with a ton of different vendors. Unfortunately, not all of them loved having interns following them around asking questions (and understandably so!) while they’re trying to work. Stacy, on the other hand, was nice enough to tell us that we weren’t bothering her at all. Though the day was long and hot, Stacy was consistently upbeat and just a fun person to be around. But enough about that, I’ll let Stacy’s photos speak for themselves!

And, while Stacy’s work can more than speak for itself, just wow. Stacy does such a wonderful job of capturing the special (and hilarious) moments that happen throughout the day, and I’m so thankful that she was still available to capture our day! I also may have let out a piercing shriek when Stacy said she could make macaroons for us.
Yep, there’s going to be a ring shot like that in my future. 
What do you guys think!? Do you love her as much as I do?
What happened to the original photographer?
Miss Toadstool, Mrs. Dragon, Miss Wallaby: Thank you! I’m so thrilled that she was still available. 
Sept Bride: Unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately!
Mrs. Pony: Thanks, Mrs. Pony! I love her work too, and those macaroons… YUM!
She is awesome! i really like her work! Such a great pick!
Late replies !@rhea I didn’t see signs for Bird World, but also I went up via train not car. Is that ahoentr wildlife sanctuary in the area?@Mack I know, I was so disappointed to miss the castle too! It’s supposed to be really, really great. Also, it looms up above the center of the city, so I bet you have amazing views of the whole town and maybe even all the way to the coast.@Meri YES! I was CONSTANTLY having to remind myself which was the town and which was the county. Every time I had to remind myself that there is a Suffolk (county), so Norfolk must be the county and therefore Norwich is the city. A ridiculously complicated way to have to do it, but for some reason I just couldn’t get it in my head that Norwich is the city.@Deirdra Well thank you very much, that is so kind of you and your graphics are lovely!
Mrs. Otter, Indianapolis, IN Age and Occupation: 22, Freelance Social Media Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, CVS Shift Supervisor Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2013 Venue: Mustard Seed Gardens About Me: I'm a born and raised Hoosier girl, but a diehard Michigan Wolverines fan. I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)
