Introducing The Looking Glass: A Photo Booth For Any Occasion!

July 26, 2010

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!

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.

Megan & Brent’s Wonderful Workplay Wedding | Birmingham Wedding Photographers

June 29, 2010

As we pulled into Birmingham exactly one month ago and saw the Workplay Theatre and the fabulous urban walls around the area, we knew this would be a wonderful wedding before even stepping foot in the door. And seeing the smiley, happy faces of Brent and Megan on their wedding day just added to our excitement. The happy couple rented a limo so we could go to various places around Birmingham to get even more fun photos! We drove by Renaissance Records and knew it would be a perfect spot for some smoochy shots in the cozy store.

Megan and Brent had a lot of sweet touches and DIY projects (including a cupcake tree!) and we loved that they wrote their own vows. For favors they handed out tiny plants! I love being able to watch my plant and know that it’s growing just like their love! It was wonderful being a part of their intimate affair and getting to capture such sweet memories! We wish them a Happy One Month Anniversary!

Brittany & Baron’s sweet St. John’s Wedding | Huntsville, Alabama photographers

June 28, 2010

Brittany and Baron were married on May 28 at St. John’s Catholic Church in Madison, Alabama, with a reception at the Roundhouse (which is part of the historic Huntsville Depot) in Huntsville. This wedding was especially fun for us because several people we have known for years (including the groom!) were either in the party or in attendance, so it was also a mini-reunion!

After the ceremony, Brittany and Baron invited everyone to a super stylish reception at the Depot, which featured a special drink–The Brittini! Everyone danced like (awesome) fools and had a great time.

Thanks to Brittany and Baron for having us, and we wish you guys many more happy anniversaries!!

Melanie & Jonathan’s Constitution Village Wedding | Huntsville Alabama Wedding Photographers

June 22, 2010

Melanie and Jonathan were married exactly one month ago today, and as usual, we want to celebrate by blogging their wedding!

The wedding took place at the Constitution Village in Huntsville, Alabama. For those of you unfamiliar with the area (I had never been!), Constitution Village is part of the Early Works Museum complex–this also includes the Huntsville Depot and the Children’s Museum. Side-note from Ashley: I actually went to Constitution Village on a school field trip and had a blast! I’ve been obsessed with the place ever since. I don’t think the 4th grade me would have even thought that the future would hold the thrill to capture such a lovely wedding there!

Constitution Village is truly historical in that, according to the website, it is here that “Forty-four delegates of the constitutional convention gathered here in a vacant cabinet shop on July 5, 1819, to organize Alabama as the 22nd state. John Boardman’s print shop, Clement Comer Clay’s law office, the Federal Land Surveyor’s office, a post office and sheriff Stephen Neal’s residence surround that cabinet shop.” So, as you can tell, this is a pretty cool place to have a wedding!

The reception took place at the Summit at Big Spring Park, which is also in downtown Huntsville, and WAS a place that neither Ashley or I had been to before. This group definitely brought the funk, flavor, and FUN to the party, and it made for a pretty stellar post-wedding celebration.
