My mother was married 70 years ago in this ivory satin gown.
She and my father took their vows on December 27th, 1937.

can we see the front ? this is so well composed #5548553

Louise Kumpf February 25, 2008

Thanks Denise! I'm working on the front!
For those that are interested in the exposure details: It was shot in a mixture of natural and incandescent light and I let my little camera take care of the white balance. It did a great job, I think. I did open up 2/3 of a stop to compensate for the reflective white on white subject matter, and luckily it needed very little post editing correction. #5548635

Louise did you use the same dress for your marriage? Did your kids???? I would love it if my daughter (if I had one - I have 2 boys) used my wedding dress... :-)
