Episode 44: Vintage Wedding Photos

Posted on Updated on by Maureen Taylor

I have trouble leaving wedding photos in antique shops and so does my guest, Charlotte Sibtain. I love meeting other people passionate about photos. Charlotte is a London based researcher who has a hobby—collecting twentieth-century wedding photos.

Her Instagram @Vintageweddingphotos feed features some of the images she’s rediscovered. In this episode we talk about wedding photos, how she started collecting, a reunion that will make you teary and more.
