This couple truly melts my heart every time I spend time with them or chat over the phone. And their King Family Vineyards wedding day was no exception. Steven and Kara have the most caring, genuine hearts! We instantly connected during our first meeting months ago, and I loved hearing that both of them were finishing up med school at UVA. It brought back memories of Alex’s final months at VCU as he finished his med school – such fun times!
Since that first meeting, we had the pleasure of photographing their engagement portraits at UVA. They then found out they’re BOTH doing residency at the UVA hospital (CONGRATS!!), celebrated their wedding at King Family Vineyards, graduated from UVA, and are now relaxing in Hawaii for their honeymoon. I can’t think of a better place for them to unwind after such an eventful year—they truly deserve it!
When you look at these photos, you’ll immediately sense Steven and Kara’s fun and genuine personalities. And that’s exactly who they are—and more! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud during one of the reception speeches when someone described Steven as having the personality of a golden retriever. HA! As a golden retriever owner myself, I totally got that vibe from both Steven and Kara. They embrace every moment of life together, and I loved hearing about their day-to-day life, like rocking out to Backstreet Boys while meal prepping together. Could they be any cuter?
This day was extra special, and I’m so honored to have been there to celebrate with them. These photos perfectly capture the essence of their relationship and the love they share with their family and friends. <3 I’ll always look back on these images and be reminded of how special Steven and Kara are. Their patients will be SO lucky to have both Dr. Steven and Dr. Kara as their doctors! Talk about a power couple!
