Lauren + Alex | Coral & Gold Inspired Wedding

“A Golden Summer…”

Today is all about the GORGEOUS Mrs. Lauren Bryant!  From the moment I met her and her momma, I knew we were in for a great ride.  And that it proved…all the way through to the final hug of the night.  I remember thinking, “Wow…is it really over?  How did this year pass by so quickly?”

The day was picture-perfect.  She radiated.  He was enamored by her.  The families laughed, cried and celebrated one great love.  One beautiful union.

A huge thanks to one special planner, Tiffany Ratliff of Weddings and the City.  Her hard work and attention to detail definitely sparkled throughout the year and weekend – she didn’t go unnoticed with any of us wedding professionals (see bottom for full list).

A few lovely words…

“From the very beginning Kristin has been awesome!  She has an amazing God-given talent. Our wedding pictures are the best gift we could have ever received, and will treasure them for a lifetime.” ~ Lauren

“After hours of viewing the pictures I just had to write. They are absolutely perfect. You captured so many people, feelings, tears, smiles-just everything! Thank you for your attention to every detail. We are so glad we chose you and especially blessed by the friendship that evolved. I will always be proud to say KVP did all of our pictures.  Look forward to the future pictures you take for Lauren and Alex. I hope to follow you for years; and watch the twinkies grow up and go to college.”  God Bless – Mama Brookins (Mother-of-the-Bride)

Erin + Matt | Trump National Wedding

“Blush and Bashful…”

Whenever I step into a wedding and see lovely hues of pink and champagne, I can’t help but immediately hear Julia Roberts say, “My colors are blush and bashful, Momma”. ~ Steel Magnolias

And that it was.  Delicious varieties of blush, cream and soft summer tones.  Perfectly planned.  Perfectly positioned.  Perfectly picture perfect!

Erin and Matt said, “I do” amongst their closet family and friends this past Summer at the beautiful Trump National.  A soft and surprisingly cool summer wind passed through the air, making the day even more sublime.  Love was evident in every direction.  This day has always been meant to be.

To my sweet precious couple – thank you.  For allowing us to be part of this extraordinary day and for your breathtakingly beautiful sweet words.  I wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness.

Still loving your engagement session!

A few words from Erin:

“Kristin’s warm personality, professionalism & understanding of the camera allowed Matt & I have to a stress free wedding day with everlasting memories captured in amazing photos!  The KVP team made our families, bridal party, Matt & I comfortable around the camera. We have received so many compliments on how our photos turned out and the most difficult part was deciding which pictures to use for our storybook!  Anyone can consider themselves a photographer with a camera in their hand but the KVP team knows how to take a PHOTO, just scroll through her blog and anyone can see the proof.   They know when to hit the shutter button at the right time, at the best angle and incorporate the best lighting.  We can’t thank you and your team enough for all the hard work you put into our wedding!  Keep on doing what your doing!”  ~ Erin & Matt Finnegan
