Wedding fashion circa 1936.
My aunt was about 19 years old at the time, her husband about 10 years older.

This is such an honest, beautiful picture.

In really old photographs, people didn’t smile because they had to hold the pose for so long. But I think that was about 50 years before this one was taken. Perhaps it was merely a habit at this point, to not smile for the photographer?

Jen – I think the main reason for the solemn faces was that most people had never been in front of a photographer before their wedding (or as part of a wedding party). I know of only one picture of my aunt taken before her wedding…
Karen – Done!

I’ve always wondered why people didn’t smile much in photos back then. Love seeing old photos like this , though.
