From Colts to Ravens to the altar

Published



For Alexander Karas, photographing weddings has been a 39-year journey that has included celebs, power players and even disco queen Donna Summer. But last weekend he was a part of déjà vu wedding history — same place, same priest, same earrings, a lot of the same people and the same Baltimore sports team colors. Well, almost the same colors.

Alexander was photographing bride Kristina Melson Hartman, who is the daughter of a Maria Hebeka Melson, whose wedding Alexander captured on film almost 25 years ago. For Maria, the wedding colors were the Baltimore Colts’ blue and white. For Kristina, the colors were updated to the Ravens’ purple.
