Inspired by… | Inspiration Board #1 | Huntsville, Alabama photographers

July 2, 2010

As photographers, and human beings in general, Ashley and I are inspired by various people, images, thoughts, quotes, and basically anything on a regular basis. I can’t even remember the last time I DIDN’T automatically picture in my mind’s eye how I would frame a shot–this happens every single day! I can be at the grocery store, outside at a park, or just walk into the room to see my husband reading to our son, and I frame potential shots.

We thought it would be fun for you to get a glimpse into what each of us are inspired by on a daily basis. This is always revolving and growing, so there will probably be many more inspiration boards in the future! This one is Stephanie’s.

Some background:

There are two Francoise Hardy album covers because she is my current artistic muse! I love her music, style, and pretty much everything. Both of these are shots that I am definitely inspired by every single time we shoot a session.

The ocean is another HUGE source of inspiration for me. I am deeply moved by and in awe of its power, and have always loved the possibilities of infinite dreams that the ocean facilitates. One of my favorite memories is waking up at 5 in the morning to watch the ocean with my husband and son.

Color is another huge draw for me. I love finding huge splashes of it in random locations. I love when clients are wearing bold stripes and crazy prints, and I love gigantic walls painted in an intense hue. I also love blending slight (very!) vintage tones with color, which I think is beautifully demonstrated in some of these photos.

Most of all, I love FUN. Fun is such a great concept, because it means something different to everyone who says or thinks it. I think the shot of the bride and groom by a VW van is fun. The shot of the 3 people on the beach jumping is fun, and so it the shot of flower buttons. I love joy and laughter and everything associated with the idea of fun times.

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.

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.
