i'm made of pretty, but my freshness is gone : the pictures were taken at 3 in the morning, by the bride herself, who was certainly as tired as I was (which explain why she couldn't manage to center the pictures she took of my back. tsss tsss !! )
These are all lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
I really like the side view 3 down from the top. There's a period portrait that's similar, can't think what it's called. Also a Van Dyck of Lady Carlisle (http://arttattler.com/Images/Europe/England/London/Tate%20Britain/Van%20Dyck/02-17163w_id_070.jpg) but that's waaay earlier.
I wish I looked that good at 3 am! (Later I'll post pics of me at 2 am in which I look so much the worse for wear - pink of face and dishevelled). The detailing on the back is just amazing.
Well, I'm white like a paper and my eyes are very deep inside their orbits which is a sure sign that I'm two steps to fall asleep standing ! But yes, I look rather good given the hour...
