But she especially loves Victorian era wedding photos because they often give us a peek at elaborately staged Victorian parlors.

Not all these photos are technically Victorian – some are as recent as the 1920’s.

Nonetheless, it is fascinating for us house crazies to see the rooms where they posed for what was often the only formal portrait of their lifetimes.

But House Crazy Sarah’s most favorite vintage wedding photos are the ones where the people posed outside – in front of houses!
