Edwardian & as it's a wedding photo should give you the date.

I know the date of the wedding being 1889 but does it add up to style of dress etc ? ,

What I mean also is as it’s such an old
Photo I can only agree when someone tells me it’s this particular couple , although it adds up with looks etc it would be good to
Know if a photo of this quality and with the style of dress was possible in 1889 , thanks very much

Women didn't dress like this in 1889. This is Edwardian absolutely.

Not if they married in 1889. This couple look in their 20's.

It still doesn't make this 1889. Her outfit & hairstyle didn't exist in 1889 & neither did the cardstock.

Edwardian period was 1901-1910.

So this photo is later than the 1889 Marriage as Jim has said.
So unlikely to be the couple you mentions Wedding.

I rarely comment on this section of Rootschat but love that era of fashion.
