Product Details

Lot of 6 vintage 4x5 color photographs documenting a December/Christmas-season military wedding, likely mid-1970s. Highlights include a formal altar photo with bride, groom in USAF-style mess dress, groomsmen in matching uniforms with sabers, bridesmaids in fur-trimmed gowns, a large poinsettia cross, and an American flag beside a religious banner (quality 5, the standout image). Also included: a wide church interior view of the full ceremony with congregation seated in pews; a bridal portrait with four bridesmaids in pink-trimmed gowns before the poinsettia altar; a group portrait of eleven young men in mess dress and one in a civilian suit posed outside a stucco building, possibly a military academy or officers club; an indoor reception scene with the couple greeting guests near a gift table in a wood-paneled hall decorated for Christmas; and a nighttime candid of the bride in a blue floral going-away outfit exiting through glass doors as guests toss rice in a parking lot. All prints show typical 1970s color shift/fading, consistent with era chemistry; a few images are softer in focus or lower contrast (noted quality 3-4). No captions or names are visible on the photos. Location is unidentified but the military dress and setting suggest a base chapel or nearby church. Associated with the estate of USAF Col. Patricia Jane Harrington. Sold as a coherent 6-photo wedding set capturing ceremony, portraits, and reception. Please review photos for condition.
