As a Mississippi wedding photographer, I have the joy of capturing unique love stories, and Hailey and James' wedding was truly one for the books! Set in the charming The Venue at the Bakery Building in Hattiesburg, MS, their celebration combined romance with a delightful Halloween twist that made for an unforgettable experience.


The Venue at the Bakery Building, built in 1926, has a rich history that adds character to any event. Once a bustling bakery, this beautiful location features exposed brick walls and vintage details that speak to its storied past. Hailey and James embraced the venue’s history, using its charm to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for their guests.


Taking place on the weekend before Halloween, Hailey and James encouraged their guests to come in costume. This fun idea transformed their wedding into a vibrant celebration filled with creativity and laughter. From classic witches and ghouls to clever pop culture references, the costumes added a whimsical touch that perfectly complemented the fall ambiance. As a Mississippi wedding photographer, I loved capturing the joyful spirit of their guests. The lively atmosphere was infectious, and the unique costumes brought a playful energy to the evening. It was heartwarming to see friends and family celebrating Hailey and James’ love in such a spirited way!


Throughout the day, I focused on the beautiful moments that unfolded. Hailey looked stunning in her elegant gown, the billowing cape beautifully juxtaposing the venue's historic elements. James, equally dapper, complemented her perfectly. The couple's love was palpable, and every detail told their unique story.


As the sun set, the reception came alive with energy. The dance floor was packed with guests showing off their Halloween costumes, all while celebrating Hailey and James. The venue's warm lighting and historic charm created the perfect setting for an unforgettable night filled with dancing and laughter. Throughout the evening, I captured moments of joy—friends embracing, families laughing, and the couple dancing the night away. Every snapshot tells a story, and it was a privilege to document such a meaningful day.


Hailey and James' wedding at The Venue at the Bakery Building was a perfect blend of history, love, and Halloween spirit. For couples searching for a unique Mississippi wedding venue, this gem in Hattiesburg offers charm and character like no other. If you’re planning your own wedding and looking for a photographer to capture every moment, I would love to connect and help tell your story!
