Huntsville musicians Phil Weaver and Emily Jones | Huntsville, Alabama photography

July 12, 2010

Ashley and I were both thrilled with Phil Weaver* contacted us about a second portrait session (you might remember the first that Ashley shot of Phil and Ingrid in February). This time, he and fellow Huntsville guitarist Emily Jones, who comprise the guitar duo Zapatos Perdidos, met us on top of Monte Sano for a delightful afternoon session.

Both Phil and Emily are active in the Huntsville community, which is something we love to see! These two were toting some pretty impressive musical equipment, and we ended up learning quite a bit about guitars during our session. The Japanese Tea House on the mountain was a perfect place to accentuate Emily’s grace and Phil’s nature.

Fun side note: we actually saw Phil a few weeks later, while he was playing guitar at Melanie and Jonathan’s wedding! We hope to see these two, either in front of our cameras or performing around town, many more times in the future!

Megan & Brent’s Wonderful Workplay Wedding | Birmingham Wedding Photographers

June 29, 2010

As we pulled into Birmingham exactly one month ago and saw the Workplay Theatre and the fabulous urban walls around the area, we knew this would be a wonderful wedding before even stepping foot in the door. And seeing the smiley, happy faces of Brent and Megan on their wedding day just added to our excitement. The happy couple rented a limo so we could go to various places around Birmingham to get even more fun photos! We drove by Renaissance Records and I (Ashley) knew it would be a perfect spot for some smoochy shots in the cozy store.

Megan and Brent had a lot of sweet touches and DIY projects (including a cupcake tree!) and we loved that they wrote their own vows. For favors they handed out tiny plants! I love being able to watch my plant and know that it’s growing just like their love! It was wonderful being a part of their intimate affair and getting to capture such sweet memories! We wish them a Happy One Month Anniversary!

Ashley & Andy: Four Years! | A Love Session | Huntsville, AL Photography

May 21, 2010

Yesterday marked the 4 year anniversary for me and Andy! I didn’t get a chance to work on the photo collages for this blog because I was busy finishing up our Four Year Playlist, which you can find/listen to right here on Hi-Fi Weddings. Andy and I decided to have some photos taken of us at our own home since that’s been such a labor of love for us. Thankfully Steph was available…and we now have such wonderful memories! From our homegrown fresh strawberries to some of our favorite vintage elements, this session truly captured who we are right now.

Hair By Noel | Portrait Photography | Huntsville, Alabama

March 25, 2010

Noel has been doing my hair (Ashley) for a long time. In fact, when she moved to Chicago for a bit I was at a loss! Thankfully she returned to Huntsville – not only because my of my hair, but also because she is an amazing soul, and it’s been wonderful getting to know her more and more. There had been a lot of talk between us of working together to showcase her talents and provide her with a stunning portfolio…so it was thrilling to shoot this session! With help from friends who modeled, we spent the Saturday photographing the lovely stylings (hair and makeup) of Noel! If you are interested in more info, or want to contact Noel, you can reach her at Salon Allure here in Huntsville.

Once everyone was ready, we headed out for the shoot! Noel wanted a rustic/nature feel to the shoot, so we went to one of Huntsville’s best places to achieve that look – Burritt Museum on the Mountain.

Noel made friends with one of the residents of Burritt!

Wedding: Karen + Daniel | Alabama wedding photography | Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes..

March 24, 2010

Karen and Daniel! Where to begin?

First, if you remember, the two opted for a family-meets-engagement session that we shot in Big Spring Park a few months ago. As we said then, we knew going into this big day that Karen was going to be one of the most chill brides we’ve worked with, but I don’t think we anticipated just how relaxed she would be! While she definitely had the wedding-day jitters, complete with shaking hands, she also happily jammed to her Black Eyed Peas while getting ready, and had one request for her photos–”Give me something different!”

The wedding was at the Chestnut Grove Methodist Church in Gurley, Alabama–waaaaay out there! Luckily, with all of the love and excitement that the whole party experienced on the day, we had plenty to work with!

We edit each photo individually, and like to let the magic of the editing process unfold as we work through the session or wedding. I think Karen and Daniel’s wedding definitely displays this wonderfully–we love to provide our clients with a variety of photo styles that suit what’s happening in each moment. This also helps avoid any stagnation or repetition in shots and style!

Ashley and I BOTH cried during the ceremony! From the opening of “Seasons of Love” to the vow exchange, we were emotional wrecks. Karen and Daniel wrote their own vows, which moved us even more than we expected.

We love capturing the bride and groom right after the ceremony–look at the love!

Phil & Ingrid’s Musician Portraits

March 3, 2010

Phil and Ingrid have been performing at and supporting Lowe Mill for a long time. When they contacted us looking to do some promotional shots for the various shows they play throughout the year, I was ecstatic! I (Ashley) shot this session while Stephanie was in Hawaii soaking up the sun rays with her lovely family! I met Phil and Ingrid at their home in Five Points to snap some shots before moving on to our home-away-from-home…good ol’ Lowe Mill. You can actually catch Phil performing with one of his groups, Zapatos Perdidos, this Saturday (March 6th) at the Flying Monkey (which is located on the second floor of Lowe Mill).

Adrienne and Sammy’s Snowy-White Wedding | Alabama wedding photography

January 12, 2010



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 dramatic & elegant bridal at Lowe Mill | Alabama wedding photography

January 10, 2010

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!

Meet the Peeples | Birmingham, Alabama | Sparks of Love

January 2, 2010

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.

Engaged: Kelsey and Trey | White Rabbit Studios | Love, love me do.

November 4, 2009

Kelsey and Trey met in the parking lot of a gym, and had their first date on February 15–the day after Valentine’s Day, to take the pressure off!–at a Mexican restaurant. The two are now planning their wedding, and we wanted to incorporate their first date into their engagement session if at all possible.

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.
