Help to date wedding pic and family portrait R Lint of Redhill.

Something to consider is that these photos were given to friends & even servants.
This is obviously a local society wedding so you need to look for a wealthy family probably in business.

A fight always breaks out at the wedding reception, especially if there is a free bar.

Free bar?? ?? Jim's been at it, and not sharing...?

As Jim notes, photos were exchanged between friends as well as family. Some people collected photos as a hobby. So no guarantees that this is even a family wedding

I've been interested in the discussion on this photo. This doesn't look like the final formal wedding portrait - everyone is looking all over the place with very casual poses. Wouldn't the two ladies standing behind the hedge at the far back have been chased away before the final photo? Perhaps the focus of this photo in your family is one of those ladies.

When taking group photos it's usual for the sitters to face different ways. If everyone looked at the camera it could look quite intimidating. I can't see 2 behind the hedge.

I was thinking of these faces. Are they part of the wedding group? Or am I seeing things? - that's always possible

They're standing at the back of the group but not behind a hedge.
