LOVEAtlantis + One & Only,Ocean Club Look Books | NYC Bridal Soiree

Hi guys!!  We’re back from NYC – and I am SO EXCITED to share my very first blog post with KVP!  WOOHOO!!

{PS – it’s Allison here!}

This past week our team  (Kristin, Lindsey, Drew and myself) headed to the Big Apple to celebrate the national launch of the recently created Look Books for LOVEAtlantis + One & Only, Ocean Club by Weddings and the City.  We ate at some fabulous restaurants (The Lambs Club, Buddakan, Spice Market) and shopped our little hearts out (or wallets out I should say).  We love SOHO – where Drew took us to the cutest fashion, accessory, and apparel store – C Wonder!

The highlight of our trip though was our night out at Matthew Williamson’s boutique in the Meatpacking District.

FABULOUS!

Baked by Melissa provided tasty treats hand-passed for the evening.  Wait, what an understatement that was!  Baked by Melissa provided the MOST AMAZING MINI CUPCAKES EVER!  During setup, we (Kristin, Lindsey, Drew and myself) hovered over the box upon arrival and indulged in over 10 cupcakes each!  Luckily, they are available for online order and these DELECTABLE pieces of heaven can be at your door step with a few clicks!

We are so THRILLED to have been a part of this magical event.  It was a huge success and we cannot wait to see these books flourish into reality!!

The event was held at the gorgeous Matthew Williamson Studio in the meat packing district.  Matthew Williamson designed a fall line of bridal gowns for One & Only. First glance at the intricate designs of these gowns made me want to get married again!  They are specifically designed to be glamorous, yet resort appropriate, and truly STUNNING!

Three of the designs from the look books were recreated in the studio to display the beauty and versatile options offered to brides at these resorts.  I couldn’t get enough of the glitz and glamour of the first table…

“Sugar & Sand”

…the tranquility of the second table…

“Tranquil Oasis”

…the sparkling details of the third!  Table three below was designed by Natalie of Wildflowers event planning, decor and production.  They have teamed up with the Atlantis to provided brides gorgeous wedding florals and decor!  Natalie and her team are top-knotch on the details to create this stunning table!

Behind The Scenes Shoot | Crown Alley Films


Photo Shoot: NY Bride + Kristin Vining from Crown Alley Films on Vimeo.

“Motion…”

It isn’t very often that I blog on a Sunday, but late last night I received this gorgeous piece of work from my friend, Alan Daly (Crown Alley Films).  A few weeks ago, he and I collaborated on a piece that both New York Bride & Groom + Kristin Vining Photography could use as a fun little “behind the scenes” look of us in action.

Well, he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!

Alan with Crown Alley Films is a MUST CHECK OUT!  He is a mega-talent.  A gentleman.  A creative genius.  He exudes kindness and spirit.  He is the type of being that you just can’t get enough of…the kind of person that touches your soul deep down…changing you forever.

I am so proud to call him my friend.  It isn’t very often you meet gems like this.  He is one to treasure!!

A very special thanks to New York Bride and Groom – “Tracy, I love you!”  To Lindsey Regan Thorne (“peas and carrots, baby!”).  And my PIC (partners in crime), Steve + Allison for always believing and your undying loyalty to creating beautiful art together as a team!  I love you! And to Lizzy-lou!  It is very clear that God blessed you with an beautiful exterior shell – but more importantly, your inner being is the true beauty that captures me and everyone in your presence.  Thank you, babiest of bears for everything.  You will always be just that to me!!
