Often times we are incredibly grateful to witness the marriage between two souls, starting with their engagement. Occasionally we are blessed to capture the beginning of a new life. Once we’ve even shot a “do over” session. Annie and Shane came to us with another first for White Rabbit Studios, but it wasn’t until we met with them and chatted before we learned how lucky we were. Shane and Annie have been married for 8 years, and have never had their photos taken – not even when they eloped! Hearing that fact made me actually stop in my tracks and tell them thank you. We are beyond honored to have been the ones to have these two in front of our cameras for their photo debut!

This wedding is near and dear to my (Ashley) heart for several reasons. The beautiful celebration took place at Lowe Mill, where not only White Rabbit Studios is located, but also the record store my husband and I own. To say this building is home away from home is an understatement. I work and play on these grounds, as do Matt and Summer. These two tied the knot (for a second time) in the historic building we all hold dear to our hearts. Their first marriage happened as the sun set on the coast of Spain (luckies)!! Since friends and family were not able to travel the distance with them, upon returning from their honeymoon, they had another intimate gathering to celebrate.

Matt and Summer are beyond talented. These two are the creative force behind The Blu Lite band, which is a group of folks that perform original and cover songs. Matt is and has been in a handful of amazing bands, one of which travels the world each year and perhaps you are familiar with: The Pine Hill Haints. I’m lucky to be able to call both Matt and Summer friends, and have had the opportunity to perform with them across several platforms including Purgatory Lounge and Crash Boom Bang Theatre (which is what brought these two together in the first place).

My eyes were misty throughout the whole night. There’s something to be said about witnessing two friends start their lives together. However, to also be able to capture it, often renders me speechless. I’m honored to know these two incredible souls, and blessed to call them friends.

I also would like to take the time to officially introduce Matt as part of the White Rabbit Studios team! He doubles as one of the DJs and a videographer. His approach to creating a wedding movie has a rather unique spin. Wanting to capture the true essence of a couple, he can create the ultimate video that highlights the story between the two love birds. After the images, you can find the movie he created for he and Summer. It’s a thrilling adventure that includes coverage of their actual wedding in Spain, along with the story of how they met. It’s beyond sweet!

Also, a million thanks to Offbeat Bride for featuring this wedding!

Settle in and get ready to witness a beautiful love story!

Since the Holidays are now upon us, we thought this would be the perfect time to share a shoot we did for the Stitch Craft Create premiere issue! The magazine is FULL of wonderful and creative Holiday crafts that are sure to bring some cheer to your home. One of my favorite things about this shoot? It took place in my (Ashley’s) home! It was fun getting to “dress the set” not only among my own decor, but also with such unique (and hand made) items that Shannon and Courtney brought along. It was a relaxed August “Christmas” morning filled with great people, conversation, and music – along with fabulous crafts!

Stitch Craft Create is available on newsstands now; or order your copy today!

Below you can see a small peek of what’s available in the magazine:

Jennifer and Anthony are the cutest! After the initial introductions and pleasantries, they both informed us that they were simply not very photogenic, and therefore didn’t know how the session would go. We both just smiled goofily at each other and at them — this pair is clearly anything BUT not photogenic!

Anna and Ben are one of the sweetest, happiest couples! They rolled with every suggestion we made at their engagement session, which happened to take place on a VERY wild and unruly day. Anna was a champ when the wind blew her hair around! These two have a natural chemistry and excitement that’s contagious — our cheeks were hurting from smiling so much!
