Tropical Historic Post Office Wedding | Jeff + Jenna

Tropical Historic Post Office Wedding | Jeff + Jenna

Jeff, Jenna, and their guests know how to have a good party! That was my constant thought throughout their wedding day at The Historic Post Office in downtown Hampton, starting with fun throwback music where the bridesmaids got ready and ending with a shut-down-the-bar reception, with an after party planned for Marker 20 just a block away! From start to finish, Jeff and Jenna laughed their way through the day with the best people in their lives surrounding them and a beautiful 10-year history that brought them to the next chapter as husband and wife.

In a world of blush and neutral weddings, the tropical theme and pops of color stood out and made a fun, exciting day even more so. I loved the coral bridesmaid dresses, palm tree wedding invitations, colorful tropical flowers, and all the little details in between that made their wedding unique in a beautiful way. The day couldn’t have been more perfect to highlight Jeff and Jenna’s love for each other and their relationship together…

Langley Air Force Base Military Wedding | Hunter + Mabree

Langley Air Force Base Military Wedding | Hunter + Mabree

Hunter and Mabree’s wedding almost didn’t happen. They met in high school and dated for awhile, but eventually she broke his heart when she said that while she couldn’t date him anymore, she hoped they would get married someday. As fairytales go this one ranks near the top, because years later they re-connected, this time for good. Years of long distance strengthened them, and one spring day on a dock by the water in his home state of Alabama, Hunter proposed…and the rest is history!

Since Hunter’s family has a longstanding tradition of being stationed at Langley Air Force Base, they knew it was the perfect venue for their wedding day. Mabree is a makeup QUEEN, so all of the girls looked amazing when I arrived - none more so than the bride herself. Blush bridesmaid dresses and gold wedding details added a touch of elegance to an already beautiful day, but my favorite moment of all was witnessing the tears Hunter shed as he watched his future wife walk down the aisle. Her father married them in an incredibly memorable ceremony, and I doubt there was a dry eye in the room…

Historic Post Office Spring Wedding | Hampton Wedding Photographer | Ryan + Stephanie

Historic Post Office Spring Wedding | Hampton Wedding Photographer | Ryan + Stephanie

Seeing Ryan and Stephanie together is like seeing two people who have been married for a long time…in fact, on their wedding day, they had already been married for a year and they wanted to celebrate with everyone who is near and dear to them! Foremost among their guests was sweet Ryleigh, their daughter, who is a symbol of how strong their relationship is - because let’s be real, if you can survive the newborn months together it says a lot about how much you can withstand! She has the biggest smiles and adores her mommy and daddy. I know she’s going to look back on the sweet wedding pictures when she is older, and that made it even more meaningful to capture the day.

I’m convinced that wedding at the Historic Post Office are stunning just because of the venue itself, and this spring day with all the blue and gray tones was no exception. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom for their sunset portraits and the rain stopped just in time to head outside for pictures after the ceremony. At the end of the day, Stephanie and Ryan wanted to have fun, enjoy the day, and spend time with their best friends. Their wedding was a representation of all that, and it was beautiful from beginning to end.
