These are the wedding photos of Mary who got married in the 1950s. She also gave me her mother's 1930s and grandmother's 1913 wedding pictures to digitize, which I previously posted. It provides an interesting glimpse into wedding fashions and wedding photography...

Because of the special lighting I use, I need at least 1 or 2 other assistants… so it’s quite labor intensive!
