This young couple had their wedding photo taken by photographer J. Haas whose studio was located at 7117 A. So. Broadway, St. Louis. He was Jacob Haas who operated a studio at 7115 1/2 Broadway for a number of years until probably about 1906 - 1907 when he moved to the 7117 A. So Broadway location. I wanted to date this photograph earlier, probably about 1900, but will call it 1907.
The brides's white dress is simple, yet seems to fit her stature. She has a beautiful headdress of roses and lace but her corsage almost seems too large for her bodice. The groom is elegant in his simple dark suit and is also wearing a large corsage because I wouldn't call it a boutonniere. He is also wearing white gloves.
Lovely wedding photo, but yes, her corsage and his boutonniere are just huge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple. I wonder if even THEY thought the corsages were too big.
