Vintage Winter Wedding at Historic Post Office | Hampton Wedding Photographer | Ben + Kat

Vintage Winter Wedding with Red and Gray

At the end of December, I had the pleasure of photographing two weddings in one weekend at the Historic Post Office - I couldn’t have dreamed up a better way to end 2018! I knew that the couples in each wedding were very different from each other, so the challenge was to make sure their days were completely unique, yet still beautiful. What a joy it was to be pushed creatively - and in so many ways, the day belong to each couple separately, while maintaining the elegant feel of the venue.

Ben and Kat’s wedding was all about the vintage details. From an actual crown that made her look like a princess to the lush florals and details designed by Mann and Wife (one of my favorite ever wedding planners!), there was a special touch added to every element. It was incredibly important for Ben and Kat to honor the loved ones who couldn’t be with them on their wedding day, and thankfully bride and groom portraits were another highlight for them. These two were allll about pictures, and I loved every minute of it. Their choreographed first dance was memorable, and their sparkler exit was one of my favorites yet.

Ben and Kat, thank you for inviting us along on your incredibly gorgeous wedding day. We know that any wedding can be difficult to plan and execute, but everything came together flawlessly, and I love how much time you two got to spend together - a rarity for anyone getting married. May you continue to prioritize time with each other as you spend the rest of your days learning to love one another more and more.
