katherine & kelvin, engaged

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.

assitant photographers

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.

meet julie

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.

meet kelly

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.
