Photo Number 1919

June is here and I will present a month of wedding photos.  They are a favorite of mine to collect.  A few will have names most will not.
This is a CdV from the antique shop in Grand Forks North Dakota.



The man wears his top button closed and flowers.  The woman wears flowers in her hair and on the nape of her neck.  Her skirt has pleated edges and it looks like the skirt has a bustle in the back.
I will date this photo to 1885-1887.

The photographer was Ole E. Flaten in Moorhead Minnesota.  He was a photographer there from 1885 to 1928.
Thank you for stopping by.

      Yes, he and his brother were prolific photographers!

    Dresses from that time period look so lovely and romantic, but I sure wouldn't want to wear one--not even for special occasions!
