The story of Karen and Eric begins where many journeys do—by choosing to start again. A second chance at love led them exactly where they were meant to be through what can only be described as divine intervention. A close family member simply told Karen, “I know who the man for you is,” and without hesitation, their paths crossed and love was found once more.

Their summer wedding took place at The Boathouse at Sunday Park in Midlothian, Virginia, just outside Richmond. Surrounded by their closest friends and their children, they created an intimate and joyful waterfront ceremony. These photographs capture both their most emotional moments and the quiet, unscripted ones—when they forgot the camera was there and allowed themselves to be fully present. With shimmering water as their backdrop and the warmth of a Virginia summer, Karen and Eric said yes to forever.
