Joel and Lindsay were married on August 1st, 2009, they had a wonderful wedding on the lake behind Lindsay’s Grandfather’s house. It was a funny thing how I met Lindsay, I have lived on the lake were they were married since I was a boy, one day late last year while I was fishing I noticed a couple in a row boat while being photographed by another couple on the bank. As I got closer, I noticed the couple on the bank were good friends of mine from High School. I hadn’t seen them in quite a number of years, so after exchanging the usual greetings from old friends, I asked them what they were up to, it turns out they were photographing Joel and Lindsay in the row boat, (complete with Champagne)as an engagement photo, and also for the cover on their wedding invitations. I mentioned to them that I was a photographer, but they had already decided on another photographer to photograph their wedding, I wished them the best and went on fishing. The next morning I received a phone call from Lindsay, she told me she had visited my website, loved my work, and hired me to photograph her wedding. My fishing day turned out to be one of my best ever, the fish were biting, I met Lindsay and Joel, saw some old friends, and booked one of the best weddings ever. Who could ask for more??

Thanks Joel and Lindsay, you guys had the best wedding a Bride and Groom could ever want, I had a wonderful time working with you and your family!!

Richard and Stacy were married on July 4th, 2009 at Saint Louis de Montfort Church in Fishers. Their reception was held at the Garrison at Ft Harrison State Park. They were a great couple to work with and we had a lot of fun at the church. Richard worked there while studying to become a teacher at one of the Catholic schools here in Indianapolis, so he knew everyone at the church. Their ceremony went off beautifully, afterwords we did the formals at the church, it was raining that day so we didn’t get outside as I had hoped, but the church had the most incredible stained glass windows that provided a fantastic background. We had also hoped to get a few shots of them with the fireworks at Lawrence Park, but again, the rain kept that from happening.

Thanks Richard and Stacy, it was a great wedding, even with all the rain!

Digital Infrared (IR) Photography is one of the newest, (and oldest) trends in Wedding Photography. It is used at it’s best to portray a dreamy, or fantasy look to wedding portraits. Most photographers shied away from IR in the earlier days of film, because of it’s sensivtivity to light, it required special handling and processing, and focusing was difficult and required the lens to be set with IR focusing points, plus the use of opaque filters made it very tricky!! Today there are alternatives to IR film, a converted Digital camera designed to shoot only IR Photographs. This is accomplished by replacing what’s called a low pass filter found on most digital cameras, with a IR filter. This filter is installed over the imaging sensor of the camera, blocking all visible light and allowing only the higher wavelengths of the IR spectrum to be recorded on the sensor. But enough technical stuff, the end result is a very different result then conventional color or black & white photography.  As you can see, it creates a very “Unreal” look!! Perfect for summertime when there is lots of vegetation that reflects IR light waves, this is how the leaves and grass goes white in the photo. It can also add dramatic skies and clouds, but only at the right time of day. The best time for IR photography is mid-day, when the sun is shining bright. This works out well in planning wedding photos, mid-day is the worst time to shoot conventional photos, shooting IR at this time of day allows for more flexibility and allows the photographer to capture what will probably be some of the best photos of the day, at mid-day. When the conditions allow, Fredric’s Photography will shoot a good amount of IR shots to add a unique look to wedding photos and albums. Be sure to ask how this will work with your wedding at your consultation meeting!! Hope you enjoy the samples here!
