A Mother’s Wedding Dress, Reimagined at The Biltmore

A laughing bride holds her mother’s wedding dress, repurposed as a cocktail dress, at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, California.

At this wedding at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, California, the bride had repurposed her mother’s wedding dress as a cocktail dress for later in the evening. While she was getting ready to change, I asked her to hold it in front of herself. Her bridesmaids were gathered around me making her laugh, and I caught this lovely, unguarded expression. The dress already had a family story; now it had another. Photography by Robert Evans Imagery.
