A 1940′s Vintage St Helens Wedding in the then Lancashire county…
With the new year in full swing and before the wedding season is in full flow we’ve had the chance to take a look back on some old family wedding photos. After some serious restoration these are the first of two posts where we will share some old wedding pics. These are Lisa’s grandparents William and Rose who met when Ron was a serviceman in the RAF and used to write to Rose until he was stationed at RAF Burtonwood when they finally met and fell in love. They were married in the 1940′s at St.Nicholas church in St.Helens and used locally based professional photographer Fred Langford who had a studio in Duke st, there probably wasn’t as much competition then! There wasn’t much money around in those days but Ron was very smart in his uniform and Rose looked beautiful in her elegant dress and pretty headpiece. We love these photos, maybe Ron could have done with a bit of direction with where to put his arms but apart from that they are lovely! We aren’t professional photo restorers but we’ve done our best…
