Freedom Fortress Wedding
Freedom's Fortress Wedding at the historic Fort Monroe along the Chesapeake Bay in Hampton, Virginia
"Fort Monroe National Monument spans the American story through the 21st century: American Indian presence, Captain John Smith's journeys, a safe haven for freedom seekers during the Civil War, home of the US Army Artillery School, and a bastion of defense for the Chesapeake Bay." (from https://www.nps.gov/fomr) This very unique wedding took place at Chapel of the Centurion of Fort Monroe surrounded by centuries of American History. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln stayed in Quarters No. 1 while planning the Union attack on Norfolk, VA.
This amazing couple fell in love with the rustic atmosphere and imagined correctly, the beautiful contrast between the classic beauty of a modern wedding against the rough historical brick, doors and windows, of the former Civil War quarters.
