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!

A White Wedding: Katie & Billy’s Mountaintop Marriage | Huntsville, Alabama Wedding Photography

June 8, 2010

As Billy Idol’s voice echoed through the trees that night exactly one month ago I (Ashley) smiled at what we were lucky enough to witness…and capture. I thought to myself “it was a nice day for a White(/Davis) wedding.” Anyone who was atop Burritt Mountain that day saw the magic of Katie and Billy’s wedding. Two souls coming together surrounded by their friends and family. The day started with a family-only ceremony inside the rustic, intimate chapel built in 1884. After the knots were tied and the kiss exchanged, it was an afternoon of music, fun, lawn games, friends, and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the afternoon celebrating and capturing Katie and Billy.

Mary Lee’s Vintage-inspired Bridal | Huntsville, Alabama Wedding Photography

May 8, 2010

Mary Lee! Oh, how we love you. We shot this bridal session a few weeks ago in downtown Huntsville. We started at Railroad Station Antiques and then moved to the historic Russel Erskine Hotel (the building has been turned into an apartment building).

Isn’t she GORGEOUS?! We think Mary Lee looks so much like Audrey Hepburn!

How classic is this shot? The ballroom at the Russel Erskine is absolutely breath-taking, and Mary Lee handled this piano like a pro!

If you’re a future bride debating about whether or not you should shoot a bridal session, I think that this session proves the answer is YES! ;)

Engaged: April & David’s sweet playground adventure | Huntsville, Alabama wedding photography

April 29, 2010

April and David are getting married in June at the Mitchell Plantation, and we can’t wait! With their “under the stars” ceremony and infectious cheery dispositions, this wedding is looking like it will be an awesome experience.

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!

Sara and Jeremy’s Record Store Engagement | Huntsville, Alabama | “…and Love’s the best sensation, hiding in the lion’s mane”

January 3, 2010

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!

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!!

Sweet Sunshine-y Family Goodness | Huntsville, Alabama family photography

December 7, 2009

We recently met the sweetest family! This is the kind of session that really proves that love is the best thing one can hope for. This trio was completely bursting with affection for each other, and their energy was definitely contagious! I don’t think Ashley or I stopped smiling the entire time we were shooting.

Waiting for Tyair | White Rabbit Studios | Maternity Photography

July 1, 2009

Some of the most rewarding sessions either Ashley or I have shot have been with people we know. I met Ateneh when we both worked at a local Ruby Tuesday’s together–she was the hostess, I was a waitress, and we got to know each other that way. We hadn’t spoken frequently since I quit the job in December 2006, but when I moved back to Huntsville last month and discovered she was pregnant, I knew that we had to document the pregnancy!

Luckily, she was in week 35 when I met up with her and her fiancee, Bobby, to shoot the photos. Their son, Tyair, should be here by July 27. We can’t wait to meet him!

Thanks, Ateneh and Bobby! You two are truly beautiful, and I have no doubt that Tyair is going to be one handsome fella!

Stephanie

EDIT: Tyair was born on July 19 at 9:52 AM! He’s totally healthy and perfectly beautiful. Congrats to you three, and we hope to have the pleasure of shooting you again! :)
