Black-and-white portrait photograph of bride Lollaretta Pemberton in her wedding dress and her groom Grover Allen in a white suit, with dark tie, lapel pin and pocket square standing in front of a painted back drop. The ivory colored lace and tulle wedding dress has short puffed sleeves, a bodice with center ruching, and alternating narrow panels of lace and tulle, running vertically up the skirt throughout the bodice. There is a silk headpiece shaped to a point with wire. A long tulle and lace veil attaches to the headpiece and trails on the floor. She wears long white gloves to the elbow.
