Wedding Research

Father Walking Down the Aisle with Bride




Wedding Day: 1968


Father of the Bride

Modern versions:


Davina & Daniel


Blushing Bride

The father of the bride walking her down the aisle to her new husband is quite the old tradition. It is not photographed all that often and is found more rarely in modern times.

Group Shots:

The Wedding


Edwardian Wedding: 1904


Modern Versions:

The Women:

The Men:

Older group shots were focused on family and often seem to follow a list of who gets to be in the big group shot (bride, groom, their parents and grandparents). Nowadays, photos of the couple and their parents are rarely found online as modern photographers focus more on the groomsmen and bridesmaids for their portfolios. Photos are often found of the men and women separately as seen above.

Car shots:


And Away We Go: 1956


Gramma and Grampa: 1948

Modern Version:

In the car department, it was much easier to find posed, fixed photograpghs of the couple leaving after marriage while looking at old photographs. Modern photographers tend to capture more documentary style photographs of both the groom and bride arriving and them leaving together after the wedding.
