this session is one my very favorites. styled by julie eastwood and shot in stony creek, virginia in the most beautiful field of purple flowers….okay, weeds.

the couple has a sentimental tie with a country song mentioning butterbeans & cornbread…so we styled their engagement session around just that as a surpise for katherines parents. Kelvin’s parents are from England so hopefully they weren’t too offended by our country flare 😉

their sweet english wedding will be making an appearance on the blog in the near future.

I wanted to dedicate a post to introduce the backbone/assistant photographers of Kristin Partin Photography. They are loyal, beautiful and produce fantastic images. I have one of them at each wedding and sometimes both make an appearance..depending on the guest list. Take a peak at their awesome work.

she is creative, talented in more things than I can possibly count and is a wonderful mother to a curly red-head. she’s been an inspiration to work with and her personality adds a unique flavor to our wedding days. never met a stranger, that’s for sure. Julie challenges me creatively and is always on her toes. Here’s some of her highlights.

there aren’t enough words to describe kelly. she is talented in capturing details, keeping me on track financially and helping me get to where I’m going. I could not run this business without her and I’m so thankful for a business partner/friend like her.

    Hey Kristin, it was great getting to meet you and Julie at Rachel's Wedding. You both were so kind and friendly. It's comforting to know that someone so talented was chosen to capture their event.

    Also, this is a very neat post! I've really enjoyed your photos on this blog. Have a good one!

you were listening to : fleet foxes, lorelai

we had our engagement photos taken last night. It was sticky nasty hot outside but hey, what can ya do. Our photos were taken by Julie Eastwood (Curtis’ cuz and my close friend) so Kristin Partin Photography got to be a part of the session. My most asked question about the wedding is ‘soooo…..who’s going to do YOUR pictures?’ well, I’m happy to announce that sam stroud {a fab, well-known photo pro in lynchburg} will be walking with us on june 28. he’s funny, has good lookin’ kids and helped me out when I first started taking photos.

more engagement photos coming soon, but for now…here’s my very favorite. Thanks to Julie for snappin away in the hot hot heat and also to Jessica Simpson of Blackbird Salon for hair & makeup.
