Holly and Marty’s wedding was nothing short of extraordinary! I (Ashley) have known Holly since the late nineties, when LiveJournal was the biggest thing to hit the internet. Our friendship blossomed through 1s and 0s and I’ll never forget the first time we met in person. It was at a show in Madison, and I remember being a bit nervous. Who would have thought that some twelve years later I would have the privilege to capture Holly marry her best friend?! Stephanie and I were in awe at how much Holly and her friends poured themselves into the wedding, it was DIY galore!

Holly is still a blogger (only on a more current platform now) and she has shared so many of her projects! From the bridesmaids’ details, to the flower vases and flowers, to the pennants, every piece of that wedding came together with love! Stephanie and I are incredibly blessed to meet and photograph such wonderful souls! Holly and Marty’s wedding was packed full of enchantment, laughter, dancing, and a WILD Looking Glass (be sure to check out the video in the post)!

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!

Jim Hudson is more than a generous man – he’s a kind heart, a warm soul, and an intelligent mind. Together with Lynn their love can light up a room! We were thrilled to capture the magic between them as they tied the knot at (Jim’s own building) The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. The building was filled with friends and colleagues and included some of the most brilliant minds of Huntsville.

You readers may not know that Jim Hudson provides such a wonderful gift to the community, and a place we call home to White Rabbit Studios (and Vertical House Records). He owns our beloved Lowe Mill, and we can’t thank him enough for his investment into keeping the arts (and sciences) thriving in Huntsville. Being asked to photograph such an esteemed wedding was above and beyond an honor.

What’s a wedding without a photo booth nowadays?! From the classic black and white shots of an elegant evening, to the sweet messages in The Looking Glass, the night was well rounded with fun!

The Looking Glass has struck again! When Ashley first mentioned booking the photo booth for her birthday party, we knew we would have a seriously unique and fun experience. I’m not sure EITHER of us knew just how fun it would be, but the photos more than illustrate the point.

Happy Holidays!

December 6, 2010

December is a big-time holidays month! Since there are so many happening, (we’re in the middle of Hanukkah, Bodhi Day is around the corner, and Christmas, the Solstice, and Kwanzaa will be here before you know it!), we wanted to say one huge HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone who visits our little corner of the internet.

We recently participated in the Winter Gallery Tour (we were at Lowe Mill!) and took a few shots with The Looking Glass that we thought you might like!
