An English rose falls in love with a Southern cotton bloom and a wonderful story unfolds. Olly is the Rose, and Katherine is the cotton, and together they are an incredible force bursting with love. We spent the entire day with these two. From the early moments of getting dressed, to the lovely ceremony (that we couldn’t capture with our cameras, but witnessed with our hearts), to their family farm reception – smiles all around. Surrounded by their family and friends, Katherine and Olly celebrated their dreams coming true.

Along with the primary photography coverage, we set up The Looking Glass, which was a wild and crazy fun time (check out the video in the post). Katherine also wanted to have a “wishing line” in which we captured the guests with our instax cameras and the guests wrote the lovebirds well wishes and happy thoughts for their future together. It served as a wonderful alternative to the traditional guest book. Thanks to Dana, Suze, Sean, and Andy for making all of the extra photo magic possible since Stephanie and I can’t clone ourselves yet!

We were all so incredibly honored to witness their love, and now can’t wait to share it with you!

Steven and Savannah’s sunset ceremony started with romantic details and swooning shots, and by the end of the night we had a collection of awesome images from the wild dance party and rowdy Looking Glass. We customized their Looking Glass backdrop based on their record store engagement photos, and provided plenty of fun props to encourage the silliness…be sure to check out the video! With so many of their friends and family celebrating with them, you can see the pure happiness beaming from both of these love birds!

Candice and Will’s wedding was a perfect blend of their personalities. Everything from Candice’s grand entrance on a horse to Will’s Zelda cake to the swing music that kept heels kickin’ and skirts spinnin’ was absolutely brilliant. While the day started out with a chill in the air the sun shone through during the middle of their ceremony and you could feel the warmth spread. We set up our Looking Glass and you can tell from the video (at the end of this post) just how FUN people have in it!

It’s hard to express how thrilled we were to capture Chris and J.D.’s wedding without sounding like giddy school girls! These two are incredibly fun and wonderful so we knew we were in for a great time! I (Ashley) have worked with J.D. and the Dead Workers Party on a number of projects…and since we’re all based out of Lowe Mill it was also great to shoot on our ‘stomping grounds’ because it felt like home to everyone. The day started at the gorgeous church St. Matthew’s where they became man and wife. Chris and J.D. chose to have a first look (yay!) which allowed for a relaxed session with the two love birds before the exchange of vows. While we were not allowed to photograph once the ceremony started, we were able to capture the moments before and the huge grins after…not to mention the awesome reception (which included breakfast for dinner, a donut cake, and an all night dance party!)

Bonus: the photobooth was insanely fun and a HUGE hit! Visual proof below!

We have exclaimed to the world about our brand new photo booth, The Looking Glass, and we are finally ready to share what happens when fun-loving people step in front of the lens! Last Thursday Lowe Mill took part in a Gallery Tour, and we brought The Looking Glass to life to celebrate!

We were very excited that so many people stopped by for the test run–we came away with loads of photos, all of which are delightful and perfect. Some are familiar faces (Steven & Mary Lee, Melanie, and Amy & Randell), and some new ones! All in all–the night was a total success!

The photo booth is great for events, such as birthdays (or un-birthdays), anniversaries, family reunions, or office parties…and the perfect addition to weddings! Since this the booth’s inaugural year, we are offering The Looking Glass to our 2010 wedding clients at an awesome introductory rate–email us (the.white.rabbit.studios@gmail.com) for details!
