Ain't no party like the Mad Hatter's tea party!
Crazy. Quirky. Bonkers. Whatever word you want to use, there is no denying that it sums us up.
The Mad Hatter's Tea Party is one of the most loveable cinematic scenes of all time - of course it's been done before, but it just HAD to be done again! We needed a fix. A fix of creative insanity, a fix of fun and laugher, a fix of achievement, and a fix of jellybeans.
One simple idea evolved into two photographer friends (and our husbands) teaming up - sharing ideas, making props and costumes on a humble little budget, turning other friends into cartoon characters, and converting a little forest in the middle of Arrowtown into a colourful, visual feast of a set... ringing with the joyful sounds of singing and laughter!!
And seventeen months after the idea was formed... Heather (from Heather Ellis Photography) and I finally get to present to you our finished product.... a cinematic photo story book - our take on the Mad Hatter's scene!!!

Of course I would love for you to sit on my couch, touch the hard cover, and flip the pages with your very own fingers to get lost in this wonderland story. But alas, there isn't enough room on my couch for all of you in cyberspace... so here is the next best thing!! Go on, go flip through the pages with your mouse at least.... click on this link to expand the book to full screen!
{The book can be shared but not sold, most written content was obtained from the Disney Movie, Alice in Wonderland}
And to Miss Heather - this making book was definitely a journey and I am soooooo glad it was a journey with YOU!!!! The number of times we got uncontrollable giggles throughout the shooting, editing, designing and publishing of this book... annnnd the amount of chocolate and RJ's we went through, just makes it all the more memorable, fun and awesome. Here's to you my friend! XOXOXO
