My Sister's Wedding - stylish guests and venue

Saturday, 24 August 2013

My sister, Carole, was married this last week. A photographer, she loves vintage and dancing and there were so many stylishly-dressed guests that I thought it merited a post. Some of the men were wearing suits from the fifties and earlier.


The marriage was celebrated in an unrestored chapel at The Licensed Victuallers Asylum opened in 1833 in Southwark, London (now Caroline Gardens) - a superb venue for a wedding with a difference. I didn't take my camera, but Instagram allows a fascinating range of affects which flatter my photography skills.

I featured some of Carole's  Retro Girls photos here and see her website and blog.

Retro Girls - photographs with style by Carole Evans

Thursday, 26 January 2012

My very talented sister, Carole Evans, is a photographer whose project, Retro Girls, is being exhibited at Silverprint, 12 Valentine Place, London, SE1 8QH, telephone 020 7620 0844.

Retro Girls is a series of portraits of women who dress in the style of the 1940s and 50s. Reminiscent of high street portraiture of the era, the photographs are about style, nostalgia and female identity. For more information visit Carole's website and blog and Silverprint.
