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!

Dylan is one of the spunkiest two-year-olds around — she had us on our toes (in a good way!) most of the session. We spent the afternoon sniffing flowers, playing peek-a-boo, and chasing the sunlight! She was accompanied by three-week-old kittens, which made our time together all the more sweeter.

side note: the kittens are totally going to be ready for new homes soon! If you’re interested, let us know and we’ll get you in contact with the family.

In case you happened to overlook it, TODAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY!!

Sure, it can be cheesy, and many think it was invented by card companies as a way to make extra cash, but we both think Valentine’s Day is an awesome excuse for extra cuddles! Hopefully it’s not the ONLY day you celebrate the love you share with someone (a friend, child, or significant other!), but it’s always fun to have a special day designated for you to kick it up a notch or two.

Speaking of love, we recently moved into our brand-new studio on the first floor at Lowe Mill, and couldn’t be more head over heels with it! We have three HUGE windows that pour in light, a brightly colored wall full of friends’ faces, adequate workspace, and room to grow! To celebrate, we brought out The Looking Glass this past Saturday during our grand opening. It was fun to see old friends, clients, and new faces all celebrating themselves and each other! We look forward to adding more photos to our “family wall” and hope one day YOU can be among the happy memories!

We are super excited to announce that we now have a first floor studio space at Lowe Mill! We welcome you to join us for our Grand Opening this coming Saturday (February 12th)! You can find us at 2211 Seminole Drive (here’s a map) – and we are in studio 110, where the light shines bright and make our hearts happy with delight!

Speaking of hearts: In the spirit of Valentine’s day, we’ll have an appropriately themed photo booth set up, so come steal a kiss and snap a pic with your loved one! For double the fun, prints will be available on the spot!

Added bonus: there will be cookies!!!*

Remember when we gave away a session last summer? Natasha and Paul were the winners of the session. Well, little did you guys know, but Natasha was actually pregnant at the time of shooting! She’s due in another week or two, and we’re totally stoked about meeting this little girl or guy! Here’s their maternity session:
