If you have a sweet tooth, we have some seriously irresistible wedding goodness coming your way. Two words. Hula hoops. Need I say more?? The couple was engaged at an amusement park, so it’s no surprise that their nuptials were a summertime, fun-fest. Photographed by the lovely Kristin Vining and planned by the talented ladies at Weddings and the City, it’s a little bit bubble-gum, a little bit southern charm, and a whole lot of sugar coated cuteness. Filled to the brim with playful details, candy-colored flowers, and tasty treats, we’re totally smitten with this 50′s inspired North Carolina affair. You can see the rest of this adorable Charlotte wedding right here in our galleries.







You can see even more eye candy right here!
From the bride…
The most unique aspect of our wedding was the casual, yet classy, attire, the little DIY projects, and the minor, yet oh-so-important, details. Working with Kristin Vining Photography and Weddings and the City has been an experience beyond my wildest imagination. I consider myself lucky to have been able to work with such a fabulous, fun – yet professional, group of ladies!! In my opinion, when a special event such as a wedding is involved, it is important that the bride and groom feel comfortable with whoever they are working with. Joe and I are so incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with KVP and WATC, and to be able to have formed good friendships along the way!

Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your sweet words - this was such a yummy wedding to photograph. I have to say - I was on a major sugar high all night thanks to all of those sweet tarts!! :)
Jen - I'm not sure about the flower girl dresses, but I will find out and let you know (or have the bride let you know).
Have a wonderful day!! xoxo
Isn't that hula hoop photo fantastic?! I am insanely jealous though - I can't even manage one without making myself look silly!
This feels like Kate Spate incarnated into a wedding! It's so pretty and unique!
