WEDDING PHOTO

This is the photo of my parent's wedding on March 27, 1943. William J. Durgin and Carolyn E. Morris were married at Zion Evengelical Lutheran Church in Westwood, NJ. Unfortunately, none of the photos from their wedding turned out very well that day. I recall my mother saying that the photographer had problems with the camera. They're all very light and lack clarity. I tried to darken this one a little, but it's still difficult to see detail in my mother's gown. This is the gown that I recently found and photographed for my previous post. I appreciate all suggestions as to what I might do with this gown. Please take a look at yesterday's photos. Thanks so much for your help.

  4. It's still a wonderful photo! I think professionals can "tweak" photos too, and make them immensely better. I'd choose 2 of the best ones and have that done. Photos are my favourite collection of all, but mine are not as organized as I'd like...
