Up for sale or buy-it-now is a wonderful, coherent lot of three (3) original vintage black-and-white family photographs documenting a young woman’s life milestones from infancy to her wedding day.
This is a fantastic find for genealogy researchers, military history enthusiasts, or collectors of mid-century Americana.
### What’s Included in the Lot:
1. **The Navy Wedding (Approx. 8" x 10"):** A stunning action shot of the bride and groom exiting a church under an archway. The groom is dressed in a classic US Navy Officer summer white uniform (Lieutenant rank shoulder boards). Features great details of the bridal gown, veil, attendants, and a historical plaque above the doorway.
2. **The Bridal / Formal Portrait (Approx. 5" x 7"):** A gorgeous, crisp close-up portrait of the same woman smiling, wearing a beautiful mid-century sweetheart neckline dress with a bow detail and a classic pearl necklace.
3. **The Baby Portrait (Approx. 5" x 7"):** A charming studio photograph of the same individual as a sitting infant in a lace-trimmed dress.
### Photographer/Studio Info:
The back of the baby portrait features an original ink stamp from **Boice Studios (Virginia Beach, VA or Richmond, VA)** along with a handwritten negative number (18758 B / 4). Boice Studios was a well-known studio name in mid-century coastal Virginia.
### Condition:
* **Excellent Vintage Condition:** The prints are crisp with great contrast and minimal silvering.
* There is minor, age-appropriate edge wear and a few faint spots/discoloration on the wedding print margins (see photos), which do not detract from the main subjects.

Please inspect all high-resolution photos carefully to judge the exact condition, framing, and details for yourself.
