Alice and John get married

In April 1909 the young primary school teacher and the successful young merchant were married in her home town in the west of Ireland. Her fondness for fine clothes and jewellery was evident in their wedding image. She would spend the next four decades in a small village, rearing her family and teaching generations of children in the local school.

I like imagining their session at the photographer’s studio... All the details, both of them a little worried to pose properly, without moving....looking straight on toward the lens... The fur carpet on the floor... All the flavour of a lost époque!

A womans hair is her crowning glory. Alice had stunning hair.

Love that old fashioned formal pose and the sepia tones.
