Beautiful photo, it's nice to have a name and date on the photo. I wish more people marked them.
via Facebook
They are a lovely couple. The bride looks young.
via Facebook
I was thinking that too. She looks like a YOUNG bride. But I guess, back then, that was the norm.
via Facebook
The age difference was the first thing I noticed. That was a different time. I hope they had a good and happy life together

According to census records median age for women in the 1920's median age for marriage was almost 22 years. With men it was about 25 years.

Why does every old-timey photo have the people looking like they took a bunch of Xanax/ are about to walk out of the shot into an oncoming bus? Lol it must have really sucked to live back then
via Facebook
Because having one's photo taken 100 or so years ago was considered a serious thing to do. So people attempted to look serious. I have a great-grandparent photo that is very serious, though my great-grandfather was quite a humorous, active fellow until his very last days
via Facebook
Because....for the 1000 th time
Photography took about two-minutes then. A smile looked very fixed by then, almost a grimace..

It took a long time for the photo to actually snap.

If they smiled it usually blurred the photo! But I imagine she had a great smile and a fantastic laugh. She just looks like while trying to be so serious (the little smirk on her face) says she is dying to crack up!
via Facebook
It's because it took a long time to take the pictures back then, so they had to freeze for a while.
via Facebook
The primary reason people were so stoic in old photos is because of the cameras. The subject had to stay perfectly still for the camera to get a clear exposure. Cameras didn't have different exposure speeds like the ones we have now. So, no, life back then didn't suck.

Why didn't people smile back then, was it the custom???

My grandparents early 1920s ... Very happy to share.

Beautiful picture, smiling and blue velvet gowns wow.😊
via Facebook
My grandmother wore brown velvet. How common was it to NOT wear white?
via Facebook
I was told the wore their best clothes. They would have had to be very wealthy to have a white bridal gown, that would only be worn once.
via Facebook

One need to study photography to fully understand why the cameras back then was time consuming and I have quite a bit of old and vintage photos that people did not smile because of it. It is not necessarily true that life sucked no.
