1950’s Vintage Wedding at Asian Art Museum Wedding Fred and Jenn
April 23rd, 2009
Fred and Jenn got married with a 50’s Vintage theme at the Asian Art Museum on Saturday March 14th. I posted the panorama group portrait last week and here is a selection of some of the rest. As a Seattle photographer, I was happy to get this shot of the two of them after the ceremony. What a great couple they they are. What I did not know before I photographed their wedding is that vintage weddings are one of the 5 hottest wedding trends of the year.
I guess I should have had a clue before but I know it now. According to a post on the Five Hottest Wedding Trends of 2009 at Your Wedding Dollars website: “Vintage wedding wear! Vintage Style Weddings are hot — from birdcage veils and fascinators (a feathery head cap) to gowns cut on the bias and tea length dresses with huge slips, touches of bygone eras will be everywhere! The 20’s and 50’s will be the most popular decades copied for vintage style weddings. This may be the best way to economize on your wedding day! Why spend several thousand on a dress that screams 2009? Instead, head to your favorite vintage store, look on-line or pair up with a great seamstress and channel your inner diva with a vintage style wedding dress that echoes a golden-era screen siren. Remember, this is where eBay, craigslist and other online “flea markets” become your best friend!”
Anyway here are the photos from Fred and Jenn’s vintage wedding.

Fred and Jenn were not your typical bride and groom and it was a really fun and different wedding. It is apparent that they are a couple very much in love. Jenn’s children were in attendance and they looked great. Jenn spent quite a long while doing their hair and makeup. Most of the guest got into the spirit and dressed for the occasion.

Beautiful photos!! Also love those vintage postcards in place of a guest book, great idea.
