Seth and Kara Married! | John Marshall Hotel Richmond, VA Wedding Photographer

Seth and Kara’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful!  It was sunny and warm and I was looking forward to the fun places we were going to do their portraits!  They both seemed so relaxed, although I am sure they felt a little differently inside!  Their ceremony was sweet and friends and family welcomed them to their informal reception afterwards.  Unfortunately, it began to rain and we were worried about the rain spoiling our plans for outdoor photos, but thankfully, the sun decided to come out and we were able to take the bridal party and Seth and Kara’s portraits before the rain came back!  They ended the night at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond with surrounded by close friends and family.

A little bit of history with Seth and Kara!  They met playing in the Richmond City softball league in May of 2014 where they played for Needles Eye Ministries.  They were both new to the softball team and to Needles Eye Ministries and were also both looking for new friends and a community.  They got to know each other on the field and their first date was in June of 2014.

Seth and Kara were engaged on Belle Isle on March 22, 2015.  Seth proposed on Kara’s favorite bench on the island…..his proposal was a surprise as she was expecting the two to go on a trail walk on Buttermilk Trail, not on Belle Isle!

They chose to get married at Redeemer Lutheran Church, where Seth works as a pastor.  Their shared faith in Jesus Christ is really important to them as individuals and also the foundation for them as a couple.  Therefore, it was really important for us to keep our focus on Jesus Christ during the ceremony and then to also celebrate, dance, eat, and have fun with family and friends following.  What more of a perfect way for Seth and Kara to begin their marriage than with Christ, family and friends together!

 Below are some favorites from their wedding day!  Congrats to you all!
