Hey! I’m Kristin
My photography career started in the dirt of professional Supercross motorcycle races.
In 2008 I photographed my first wedding and in 2011 I made the decision to leave the motorcycle industry and became a full time wedding/portrait photographer.

Reviews for Atlanta Wedding Photographer - Kristin Cheatwood

Kristin was awesome! It ended up raining during our whole first look, the pictures, and the ceremony, but Kristin made it work and the pictures turned out amazing!! We had a second photographer as well, so we got so many great shots/angles of our big day. Highly recommend!

Here is the TRUTH: Kristen is the most talented photographer you will find! She has a keen eye for capturing special moments perfectly. Every photo tells a story, and she truly knows how to show the special story of her clients. She is a magician with lighting and scenery as well bringing out the best in the subject. Her photos I will treasure forever not only because it was the most important day to me, but because she really captured the little moments between us and our friends and family, our uniqueness, and our love. I cant wait to use her again for more momentous occasions!!

Kristin, of Cheatwood Photography, was the perfect wedding photographer! Our goal was to have elegant, relaxed photographs. She captured those moments and so many more! For only one photographer, we feel that every emotion was captured throughout the day. The most important thing, to us, was that she blended in with our wedding party and guests and was not intrusive or “annoying.” She is professional, friendly, personable and knowledgeable about most Atlanta venues. Although, Kristin had not photographed at Peachtree Christian Church before our wedding, she did her homework, which was unexpected and much appreciated! She spent several hours ahead of time checking the light, meeting with our church coordinator and verifying that she had all of the equipment to meet our requests. ALL of our photos were perfect and we receive SO many compliments on our wedding book and the prints framed in our house. Thank you Kristin!!!

We are so happy we worked with Kristin. Her photos of our wedding look fantastic, we appreciated her thorough advance preparation and we felt very comfortable working with her. First, the photos themselves. We love them! Kristin caught the right angles and all the right moments. We appreciated her documentary style with many great cameos as well as beautiful portraits. Her signature backlit style looks great. Kristin took our wedding very seriously and spent a lot of her own time to prepare for it well. In addition to meeting with the two of us, she traveled to the venue twice in advance: once for a meeting and once to make sure she knew the lighting at the time of day of the ceremony. We felt great about working with Kristin because she was amenable to our desires and generally a friendly person. She was unobtrusive during the ceremony -- we all were amazed at the angles she got because we never noticed her. Thank you, Kristin, for documenting this sacred day so beautifully!

Choosing a wedding photographer is such a big decision and we talked to quite a few before making our final choice. What sold me with Kristin is that she used to photograph motorcycle races so I knew she could capture that once in a lifetime shot and also knew how to work with men, which was important to me because my now husband hates getting photos taken. We took our engagement pictures in Helen, GA and that was our first time meeting and working with Kristin. We had such a fun time and Kristin wasn't afraid to literally get in the water for some pictures. (Those ended up being some of our favorites too). Day of the wedding was perfect. Kristin did such a great job of blending in and not being in the way. I had family mention that they didn't even notice the photographer which I thought was great because I've been to weddings where the photographer was blocking the view or always in the background. She was very efficient at getting the family and bridal party pictures done quickly so that we could get to the party. It took about a month to get all our images back which was much faster than I anticipated. We received so many amazing pictures and I teared up looking back through them because it really was like reliving the best day ever. I highly recommend Kristin for an Atlanta area wedding, you will not be disappointed!

Not all weddings are the same. Each wedding is customized to fit the needs of my couples. Some weddings are short, like an elopement, and some weddings have a longer timeline from the getting ready, ceremony, and reception. So as a bride and groom, how would you plan your wedding day timeline? Here are some tips you might not know about the wedding day timeline, or schedule.
