When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
It has been sitting in a dark closet for fifty-five years lonely, delicately tucked away preserving all the memories of that special day back in 1956. Its lovely hand-sewn details remained undisturbed as life rushed on...
Grandma's wedding dress waited. Patiently. Stuck in time... all while children were born, people got married, grandchildren were born and life just happened... It was the unfortunate passing of Grandma that brought the Dress to life once again.
When Angela asked me to do a portrait session of her in her Grandmother's wedding Dress, I knew I wanted to be a part of it, not only because she was going to be wearing a beautiful vintage gown, but also because of what it represented...to her...to me. A piece of her beloved Grandmother was being brought to light. A piece of her family's heirloom was going to be displayed and her sweet Grandma - honored and given tribute.
Angela looked stunning in the gown and Grandma would have been proud...
This is one of my favorites from the day...
The lace was in perfect condition and I loved the line of buttons in the back.
This next one is another favorite.
Angela and her family were gracious to provide me with a couple photos from Grandmother's 1956 wedding day... Here she is with her new husband, a young happy bride...
Finally, I'll leave you with a special side-by-side photo of Angela and her Grandma. A leap in time, fifty-five years, one dress, one family, one life...
On the second anniversary of my own Grandmother's passing, I thought this post would be appropriate to remember the special ladies in our lives that shape us and our futures...
