“Uptown chic + pink…”

Good Monday to you!!

Let’s jump start this week with a little pretty in pink yumminess, shall we!

Natalie + Evon = H.O.T ! ! !

Engagements.  Bridals.  Wedding.  Oh my!

The energy that you see portrayed on camera is ALL Natalie.  She is a breath of fresh air, a genuinely loving human, her husband’s biggest fan and supporter, a God-fearing/Christ-loving woman, an incredibly fit and health conscious advocate and now one of Tennessee’s newest residents (we miss you in the Carolina’s, Nat!).

Hope you enjoy this snippet of their day.  Full of gorgeous designs via Come + Together Events, raw emotion and l.o.v.e.

Words from Natalie…

She is one a kind… By far best is the business, no one else like her!  Not only is she funny, beautiful and a Christian woman… She can shoot anything an everything!  She is so professional and makes the guys even feel comfortable in front of the camera.  You won’t even know she’s there but she captures the absolute best moments!  On your big day she will get it ALL!  She doesn’t miss a beat.  Being a picture freak myself this was an absolute perfect fit for me.  She captures the candid moments… And your pictures truly look so real an tell a beautiful story.  I can’t praise her enough…. I use her pictures anywhere an everywhere!!!  I am obsessed with them!  This was one of my biggest things as a bride was I wanted a really good photographer… And I made the best decision ever!  She’s glamorous and gets those different photos that no one else will have!  They won’t be posed… They are real life which is perfect!” ~ Natalie

Myers Park Country Club | Hope + Spyros

“Hope in your life…”

She’s a radiant bundle of energy.  Full of life, the Holy Spirit and love, Hope is the type of human being that everyone needs to have in their life.  She has a smile that lights up the darkest of rooms; even when speaking of her dark days (her blog is a must read…especially those suffering from crohn’s disease).

For the last year this little sweet pea has been counting down the days until she married her prince.  Her infectious emails always left me grinning ear-to-ear as she planned, planned, planned the greatest event of her life.  She once even quoted the movie, Legally Blonde which left me in stitches!

In case you missed the engagement session (which took place at her grandparent’s breathtaking country home), you can see the passionate love between these two souls has been years in the making.  Despite the few shower sprinkles, we just kept on truckin’ and got down and dirty of the farm!

Please enjoy this little snippet of their gorgeous May wedding (including a couple of my favorite bridal session photographs)!

Charlotte Private Estate Wedding | Ashley + Alex

Tented Wedding in Charlotte_Kristin Vining Photography_00001

“When one door opens…”

Tonight I am going to end on a note that is still very near, dear and personal to my heart.

I will forever remember this day beyond the fact that it was epic and grand.  That it was seamless and well planned.  That it was under the design and direction of a talented planner.  And that it was all under the umbrella of a beautiful wedding planning company that I once owned, Weddings and the City (WATC).

It is so hard to believe that ten years ago that little baby was born.  My former partner (CeCe Hampton) and I were so hungry to be part of this great big wedding world.  With an open heart, willingness to take a risk and giant leap of faith we literally went door-to-door as social media had yet to become the phenomenon that it is today.

We grew fast, wildfire fast.

There were lots of highs (a few lows), but ultimately the time came when it was time to close this chapter in my life and remember it as a beautiful story.  The friendships that I made through WATC, the lessons that I learned, the brides that we had the privilege of working with and the amazing contacts that were made both internationally and nationally all helped shape and mold me into the business owner that I am today.  There is not one single solitary thing that I would change.

Including…going out with a bang!

Ashely and Alex were incredibly laid back and knew that they wanted their big day spent with the absolute closest people to them.  Mission accomplished.

Please enjoy this moment in time that will not only forever resonate in my heart, but in the hearts of our very last Weddings and the City clients…the sweetest couple!

Thank you to the wedding professionals that I still adore working along side of… Steve Michael, Crown Alley Films, Jami Svay, The Place for Flowers, Best Impressions Catering, Split Second Sounds, Jill Delmastro and Rose Limos.

Words from the bride…

“My experience with Kristin Vinning was fantastic!  She always had my best interest at heart and spent as much time as she needed to make sure the photography was perfect.  Not only is Kristin well organized, and a splendid perfectionist, she is above all super sweet and relatable which makes you feel comfortable and be yourself.  Any time I see or hear someone searching for wedding photographers or just a photographer in general I always recommend Kristin Vinning Photography, she is the best! “
