I have three of these photographs, if I didn't have three..I would begin to wonder. This Wedding Photograph was taken at Cyko Art Studio in Ely, Minnesota. The gentleman that owned this shop was Otto Hakkanen (edited to Hokkanen) he was only in Ely from 1918 to 1920. I would have dated this photo much later than that.. if there weren't three of these photos in the same exact folder I would say that someone just re- used the folder for their photos.
Anyway..the feathery hats crack me up and the smirk on the Matron of Honor's face is priceless. The men have double breasted suits..and the ladies are wearing open toed shoes..I have a hard time making 1918 to 1920 out of this photo..I want to call it a 1940 photo..what do you think??
Thanks for stopping..come by again:)
***Rae, Mildred and Abra all agree that this is more than likely a 1940's photo.
*** From Brian, a Grandson of the photographer Otto Hokkanen.
Yes, this is the 1940's! You see, Otto Hokkanen was my grandfather. He retired in 1950. He lived in Ely until his death in 1968.
