We were SO incredibly excited to wake up January 8 to a world filled with snow! Of course, we were delighted because snow is beautiful, but super excited because we knew that our bride of the day, Adrienne, was hoping for a truly white wedding. As you know, we’re in Alabama, so the odds were stacked against the South Dakota native. However, the snow came through for her, and we took full advantage of all of its splendor–as you can see, the snow bled its way into quite a bit of the post-processing! Sammy and Adrienne’s romantic wedding ended as a dance party among friends and family. Our personal friends were the DJs (Travis and David, whom are available if you’re interested in real music – and not the chicken dance – at your wedding) and they kept the good tunes spinning…that’s right, with real records! Sing alongs, dance offs, celebratory cigars, and lots of love warmed the hearts on this snowy Alabama evening here in the Rocket City.
snow & a ladybug! how lucky!
There are not enough words to describe how fantastically funny Adrienne and her ladies are! They braved the chilly temperatures to take photos for us, and I think they ended up having a good time.
We weren’t allowed to get too close during the ceremony, but our vantage point was a beautiful one–look at the candles! The dimly lit sanctuary at Good Shepherd Catholic Church glowed with the love shared between these two.
Adrienne’s bridal was originally planned to be outside, in a beautiful part of downtown Huntsville we’ve discovered recently. However, fate and/or the weather were working against us, or at least redirecting us, so we ended up shooting the session at the ever-fabulous and unique Lowe Mill.
We shot Adrienne and Sammy’s beautiful, snow-day wedding this past Friday, and are looking forward to sharing it with you in a couple of days!
Adrienne brought her dog, Dakota, to the shoot!
Ashley and I have been bouncing ideas about personalizing our blog a little bit more off one another for a few weeks, and Ashley came up with the idea to follow to uber-popular 365 Days group on Flickr. Instead of taking self-portraits, we’ve decided to take photos of everything around us, since our love for photography extends far into the rest of the world besides weddings.
Anyway, we decided to start with the first week of January. Since the 1st was a Friday, each Friday (or Saturday–we had a wedding that went into the night last night!) we’ll post two photos from our 365 set on Flickr. This week, you get to see our babies: the human baby, Jasper, and the kitten baby, Tiny. 
As I sit here and type this, I can see gorgeous flakes of snow falling freely…and while Alabama doesn’t see snow often, and we always get excited even with the smallest amount, I can see why – it’s SO pretty! We are hoping the snowfall sticks around tomorrow night, as we have a lovely wedding to capture…and what could be prettier than a blushing bride in the winter wonderland?
Speaking of blushing, we’d like to share a little something that will warm you right up!
We are excited to share our Valentine’s Special with you: a FREE book (8×10 hardcover) with any booked Blush Session before the end of February! Let us capture you in your most free-spirited nature as you become the star! We can help you plan the session so everyone is sure to get the most out of it – including the receiver of the gift!
Because we are extending the offer past Valentine’s Day, this would be a good opportunity for any bride looking for that extra something to gift her fiance. Please contact us with any questions or comments!

On a different, but still exciting, note we are pleased to introduce a new name to this crazy world of wedding biz: Hi-Fi Weddings! This idea came about last year, but was a fleeting one…at first. Upon more thought and research (and dreams), I knew something was pulling me to start it. Hi-Fi Weddings will be a blog and inspiration source for brides and grooms to share and gather information about songs at weddings. While we will welcome music of all sorts, we’d like to really spotlight couples that really spend time and focus on the music for Their Big Day. I know that’s what I (Ashley) did! I spent weeks upon weeks compiling our playlist. And although blogs weren’t really around as much in 2006, I still haven’t found one that is solely dedicating to music – until now! Voila! We are hoping to have the site fully launched by Valentine’s Day…we’re still gathering additional content – want to share YOUR music/wedding??? email hifiweddings AT gmail DOT com!
First, let me say this: Kat at Rock’n Roll Bride is among THE most fabulous people Ashley and I have encountered, online or off, since we launched this White Rabbit Studios shebang in August. She has been a huge source of both inspiration and source for us, both professionally and otherwise, and we owe a TON to her, for all of the various features, love, and support she has showered upon us. So, Kat, thank you, thank you, a MILLION bazillion times!
See the feature {HERE}!
Sara and Jeremy are such a sweet, wonderful couple! The two drove up from Birmingham to meet for their engagement session, which took place at Lowe Mill (mostly in Ashley and Andy’s record store, Vertical House Records) and the surrounding area. We were excited to explore new territory–west Huntsville is brilliant!
Ashley had the great idea to ask Sara and Jeremy to pick a 45 out, and these photos are the result!
Jeremy’s proposal is a bit of a long story, so I’ll try to condense it. As it was told to us, before they were engaged officially, these two had discussed houses. When Jeremy proposed, he started out by asking Sara what kind of house she would want. She told him that they couldn’t get a house until they were married, and this was the inspiration for these two photos!
Thanks for coming up here to see us, S & J! We’ll see you guys at your wedding in February!!
I have known Alicia since high school, and I feel honored to have been able to capture one of the most important days of her life…as she marries the man of her dreams. Alicia and Brandon were wed on a chilly December evening, with a very intimate ceremony, with only 30 people. Although the air outside was brisk, inside was radiating with love and warmth. Smiles all around as the two were united as one. After the gorgeous ceremony, more friends and family were awaiting the entrance of the lovely couple at the Sheraton in downtown Birmingham. As Mr. and Mrs. Peeples glided through the room, their love illuminated around them. Thanks so much Alicia for entrusting me to not only be one of the selected to witness your marriage, but to be able to provide you with the memories that will live on forever.
