A DANG MESS is all I can say!!

Sarah is the epitome of grace and poise.  Hunter – well, like I said  – DANG MESS!!  I had the TIME of my life photographing the two of them.  I am really looking forward to their wedding at Bray’s Island next year.  WHO knows what craziness I’ll capture – can’t wait to find out!

I LOVE the heck out of y’all!

Kudos to Kymm McLean with Who’s the Fairest for rockin’ some makeup!  Thanks, lady!

After this series Hunter asked, “Can I have a seven minute rest, Kristin?”  haha – TOO FUNNY!

OH YES – you’re seeing these right.  One of the questions on my eSession prep sheet asks, “What is your favorite restaurant?”  Hunter’s reply – “BOJANGLES!”

So – what could be more fitting than a few chicken biscuits to get the shoot started right!

A word from Sarah + Hunter…

“It was WONDERFUL working with KVP for our engagement session! I don’t think we could ever thank Kristin enough for the images and memories she has captured for us thus far. She has amazing creativity and style in her work. She was able to capture our personalities effortlessly, and made us feel more than comfortable in front of the camera. We are looking so forward to having her at our Wedding in May and know that she will perfectly capture the storyline of our big day!”

Sarah Clark - I absolutely LOVE these – they capture Sarah & Hunter’s personality perfectly! I can’t wait to be a part of their big day & the images that you capture then…. and to see what you’ve captured for our pics :)November 3, 2009 – 8:53 pm

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

“You’re the one that I want, the one I wanna want, woo-hoo-hoo!”

I absolutely L O V E this precious couple.  Michelle + Joe are set to marry next year, but we got a jump start on their eSession before Carowinds closed for the season.  AND – how perfect that we were able to do so…this is where Joe proposed to Michelle!!

A special thanks to Lindsey Regan Thorne who came on board and laid out all the wardrobe from start to finish and rocked some hair/makeup!  AWESOME!!!  I specially dig their 80’s American Apparel look!  And as well, Danny at the park.  THANK YOU!

Love to you all!! xoxo

A word from Michelle…

“There is no doubt in my mind that choosing a person to be in charge of your memories is one of the most important decisions in planning a wedding. From the moment I found her (pink!) website to meeting Kristin I just had to have her be that person!  When we arrived for our eSession, admittedly a little nervous, Kristin made us feel comfortable; we felt like we had known her for years.  She’s fun and creative, yet professional, and her work speaks for itself: simply amazing.  We had a BLAST!  Joe and I are so blessed and incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with such a fabulous woman and an even more fabulous photographer!  We’re SO looking forward to having her be a part of our Wedding Day!”

Cathy + Franco | Charlotte Wedding

Bloggers meet Cathy + Franco…

Goodness!!  Is this wedding LONG OVERDUE or what!!  Cathy + Franco were married this past June 13th at University Hills Baptist Church, followed by a Speedway Club Reception.  I have been blessed to have been part of an amazing journey with this precious couple.  Shortly after contracting, I received a phone call from Franco informing me that their sweet dog, Bobo, had a terrible illness and did not have much longer to live.  I was heart-stricken!  We immediately scheduled a shoot to capture what little time they had left together as a family.

The wedding was a blast!  The wardrobe changes were impeccable!  The love was evident!  Thank you, Cathy and Franco for letting me share in your special day!  Lots of L O V E!! xoxo
