Steve and Savannah’s beautiful engagement | Huntsville, AL photographer

December 28, 2010

Steve and Savannah’s engagement session had a nice combination of some of our favorites elements: music, pets, and love! We started at Vertical House Records before dodging cars and jumping fences to a nice spot by the willow trees in the Jones Valley area. Steve and Savannah wanted to include their dog, and with such a cute bow-tie how could we resist?!

Costumed Cuties | Huntsville Halloween Mini-Sessions

October 31, 2010

Steph and I are still buzzing like busy bees! Today we are shooting a fabulous wedding, full of amazing details! Since it’s Halloween we thought it would be fun to show off some of the costumed cuties from our mini-sessions! We had a blast with each kid – a few you might even recognize – the pirate, Hugh, and the princess (Nyoka) and dragon (Wesley). It was wonderful meeting Miss Abbi (the fairy) and her parents, who said wonderful praises about White Rabbit Studios – which warms our hearts on these chilly nights.

We couldn’t resist turning Wesley’s peek-a-boo into a mini movie!

And who remembers how fun this was as a kid?!

Chris & J.D.’s Breakfast for Dinner Dance Party

October 4, 2010

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!

DJ: Kandy at Your Perfect Party
Caterer: Happy Tummy
Flowers: In Bloom

Coral and Bartley’s vintage engagement

September 20, 2010

Coral and Bartley are amazing–they were completely prepared for their engagement session, and hit the ground running! Between their dapper ensembles and the sweet locations we were able to get into, this session was completely dreamy. Both of our locations are historic landmarks in Huntsville, and we were so excited at the opportunity to showcase Coral and Bartley’s love!

We began at the historic Russel Erskine Hotel (now an apartment complex) in Huntsville — you might remember it from Mary Lee’s bridal session! We’re quite lucky that Ashley has a bit of a connection with the owners of the hotel, which is how we are able to get in to shoot. After wrapping up there, we moved further into the heart of Huntsville Proper and shot at The Weeden House Museum.

The Weeden House is a fascinating bit of Huntsville that we hadn’t visited for a session before — it was built in 1819, and after going through several years of being a residential home, it is now owned by the city of Huntsville. The Weeden house serves as an illustration of American family life in the 1840′s — and also shares the life of poet and watercolorist, Maria Howard Weeden.

This session made my (Ashley) historic building lovin’ heart happy and the smile never left my face as I snapped away like a kid in the candy store! Thanks to both venues for letting us pop in for the session!

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.
