Marissa & Justin’s Hampton Wedding

A Wedding in Hampton

This Hampton wedding took place at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in the Fox Hill area of Hampton. If you are a local and drive down Mercury frequently, you’ll have noticed this church for its huge red doors. It’s sort of a funny coincidence that just a few weeks before Justin and Marissa reached out to me, I had told my husband that I could just envision a bride and groom standing in front of those for a photo. I guess the universe gave me my wish with this mid-March wedding.

 

Loved this Adorable Couple

My favorite thing about Justin and Marissa is how obvious their love for each other is. In the short amount of time I got to spend with them, I could really see that Jeremy is concerned about Marissa’s happiness and comfort. I also loved how much they played during their engagement session! Their wedding day was no different – Justin was rarely far from his bride!

Gorgeous Weather

The weather was beautiful for this Hampton wedding. Although it was a bit chilly and windy, the sun was shining bright, giving us a little warmth during the portraits. The wind was an obstacle, but we still managed to get a few beautiful shots before we zipped over to Langley AFB to keep the dinner timeline on track.

These groomsmen were so much fun!

The red door!

 

Langley Air Force Base Reception

This was the first time I had a wedding in Hampton that was on Langley AFB and the Bayview Commonwealth Center was a great place to work in! There were several traditional activities throughout the evening including speeches, cake cutting, and, my favorite, the shoe game!

This custom cake was so fitting for Justin!

 

Overall, this was a very sweet and laid-back Hampton wedding and I am so glad I got to be a part of Justin and Marissa’s big day!

A last minute capture – love it!
