Well they can't be accused of being too young in any event? What my mother would call "It won't spoil their youth!" Having said that they do look happy and comfortable in their own company which is always a good start for any marriage. This is a nice image, lovley and clear but the setting is that of a snapper rather than that of a photographer, if you know what I mean. A downpipe to the right and a drain coming out of the kitchen behind, those are the kind of shots we've all taken and wished we had the moment back again to make the appropriate changes!

Oh, they are lovely!

Swordscookie Swordscookie Still love it - downpipe, drain and all! :)

this is typical environmental portrait. i love it. this down pipe is cool because it's real, it's there. not really sure what sort of "photographer " swordscookie is talking about ;) this is really good photograph in every detail!

Artur Sikora Meant to ask you - have you seen a flag flying in the last week or so from the top of Boland's Mills?

This Dress looks Victorian - c 1860, perhaps she is modeling her grandmothers ball gown dress.

Or it may be "Victorian style" for a fancy dress ball. The neckline (trimmed with the lace Bertha) is too off the shoulder to be accurate, as shown by the extra shoulder straps making a more Edwardian neckline shape. It's not clear if it is an Edwardian "olde tyme style" costume or an 1850s original that's been altered for fancy dress. That V-shaped "stomacher" on the bodice front looks like it's crooked and that dark, heavy trim on a short-sleeved evening dress doesn't look right.

It does look like a costume, which was popular back then. I'm surprised they got it this right, so maybe it's vintage.

I think the link, above, is incorrect.

You're right PW. Thanks for noticing. I've corrected it now.

It's Thomasina! Sweet photo.
