These three actually moved to Atlanta the very next day, so we were happy that we caught them in time — the photos are great, and it already looks like Autumn on Monte Sano, which we loved.

We really look forward to watching Cooper grow and develop — it’s amazing that these photos were taken in July, and that we’ll be seeing Cooper again next month!

Chrissy had to cope with a little jitters (it’s weird being on the other side of the lens!), but after that–our session was smooth sailing! The couple opted to shoot at our favorite spots, Lowe Mill. Since the mill is always evolving, we’re always afforded different backgrounds and locations for every session we shoot there.

If you’re not familiar with the Star Wars Celebrations, I’m a little lost as to how to accurately describe them to you. Basically, it’s an official event for everything related to Star Wars–stuff created by fans for fans. Everything you can think of is there–people in costumes, bands, parties, events, lectures, a kid’s play room…the list is endless. They hold celebrations every few years, so if you have a fellow Star Wars nerd in your life, I’d keep tabs on it!

Anna and Josh met at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, and since Josh still works there, we were able to get in to shoot their engagement session! I need to pause here and mention that Ashley loves space, and I love Star Wars, and the Space and Rocket Center is currently playing host to a huge Star Wars exhibition, so, armed with all of this knowledge, you might be able to imagine how incredibly stoked we were upon entry. Maybe.

Anyway! Back to the stars of the day. We met early in the morning and traipsed around the complex in good spirits. Josh told us little stories about the various happenings at the center as we meandered between rockets and people and spaceships. We visited the Davidson Center and oohed and aahed, snapped some gorgeous photos of this gorgeous couple, and then journeyed back into the main center to complete our day. We (very) happily bumped into a few members of the 501st Legion (Stormtroopers and Sand people!), and then concluded our day outside the Imax theater, which is where Anna and Josh’s romance all began!

If you’re on our Facebook page at all, you’ve already seen a few shots of me with Star Wars characters, but just in case you don’t — we like to have fun during our sessions, too.

We hope you enjoy the photos!

The wedding took place at a church near Athens, and the reception followed at the Marriott near the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.

Beth and Chris have since relocated out of state, and we wanted to take a second to wish them all the best! Thanks for allowing us to capture your day.

Ateneh, Bobby, and Tyair: thanks for letting White Rabbit Studios be part of your lives once more! We look forward to Tyair’s second year.
