Speaking of old friends, Beth and I (Stephanie) worked on the University of Alabama Huntsville’s newspaper, The Exponent, together! So we go back a few years. It was definitely fun to spend time with she and Chris, AND I think we were all very infatuated with the oodles of delicious light that abounded.

We shot the bridal session at the Limestone Co-op in our new favorite place, Belle Mina. Beth’s dad is actually in charge there, so we got to go all over the place and shoot to our heart’s content.

A few days later, we journeyed downtown for Beth and Chris’s engagement session at 9am! It’s a bit early for some, but makes for sweet, lovey-dovey photos. One of the best parts of the engagement session was that Beth and Chris did not stop laughing the entire time!

Megan and Brent’s engagement session took place in the Old Town section of Huntsville. We literally spent most of our time on one single street (Pratt, for those of you that are Huntsville-savvy), as very nearly every local store and coffee shop on said street is fantastic. Ashley and I are both fans of all things local and off the beaten path, and Megan and Brent were pretty much down for anything we wanted to try.

The two brought along their gigantic rainbow umbrella, which has a sweet story to it–it was under this very umbrella that they were engaged! So check that out.

One of the store we stopped by was Five Point Books, which is where a certain plastic yellow-and-brown dinosaur roams a potted plant or two. Keep your eyes peeled!

We ended the session at a playground right across from Megan and Brent’s home, which was perfect for us–a dash of where-you-are, while-you-are is a key ingredient to a magical White Rabbit Studios engagement session.

These two birds were married on May 29 at the Workplay Theater in Birmingham, and their (awesome, music-and-fun heavy) wedding will most definitely be blogged later this month–I’m thinking sometime around that ever-sweet one month anniversary.

The two were pretty lax about shoot locations, so Ashley and I dreamed up a session near and around Lincoln Elementary in Huntsville.

April is also a photographer, so we thought it would be fun if David snapped a few shots of her–on the OTHER side of the camera!

Billy and Katie are one of those effortlessly stunning couples–they are outwardly and inwardly beautiful, and very obviously deeply in love. They are getting married on May 8, and we could NOT be more enthusiastic about their impending vows–this is going to be one seriously lovely and loving wedding day!

They claimed to be nervous about the photo session, so I think these two must be naturals!

We began the session at Lowe Mill, starting in Beloved Community Bookstore and then migrated to Ashley and Andy’s recently relocated record store, Vertical House Records.

RIP, E.T. and Michael Jackson. Thank you for the poster!

And of course, our White Rabbit Studios staple shot!

Billy and Katie live four (or so) hours apart, and have done throughout their relationship. One way they kept in touch was via fast and furious emails, and Ashley and I thought it would be cute to pay homage to their digital letter writing in an analogue fashion–at the post office, with a (working!) tin-can telephone!

After leaving the post office, we migrated to Green Mountain. We didn’t know at the time, but Katie’s parents used to go on dates there.

Katie’s parents used to bring a bucket of chicken and watch the sun set–exactly our plan!

Would saying these two are “finger lickin’ good” be too cheesy? Yes? Can I say it anyway?

If you are in the mood for a beautiful love, story, check out Katie and Billy’s story here, and the tale of their engagement here. We were going to try to re-tell it on our blog, but sometimes…the original is just better.

This first shot was inspired by a session we did with my family, and is likely to become a White Rabbit staple! I think it would be great for Sara and Jeremy’s invitations, don’t you?

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!!

We shot in Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville, which turned out to be a wonderful location for these four–the sun was gorgeous and streaming, and ducks were out and entertaining, and in general, we all had a great time!

Look at all of these fish!

PS: HAPPY 2010!! We are SO excited about what this coming year means for our families, our business, and ourselves. We can’t wait to share it with all of you. Thank you for your support and love!

We began the session at Lowe Mill, our base of operations, and moved to the local Mexican restaurant Bandito Burrito. Bandito is one of our favorite places, so we were definitely happy to shoot there–dinner followed! It’s also a funky local joint, which we feel goes with our photography style quite nicely.

Kelsey and Trey are a great couple, and very in sync with one another. They are complementary souls–both sweet and easy to work with! We had a great time with these two loves.

Amy brought tons of props with her, including a picnic basket, flowers from their garden, and, just to make the picnic authentic, a bottle of wine. We ventured to Monte Sano first, and then to the backyard of a friend who has a gigantic, and brilliant, red barn that was just sitting there, waiting for us to shoot it.

Since Amy and Randell will be married next month, and we met the two of them too late to book it, we won’t get to shoot the wedding. However, we loved this session and getting the chance to get to know them.
