I have a Boris wedding photo of my parents, Joseph Richmond and Jessie Harlow. They married at St Luke’s Church, Old Street in June 1938. Should these names jog any memories I’d be delighted to know.

I was privileged to work at B.Bennett & Sons in Oxford St, in 1963 and I met Boris only on a couple of occasions also my namesake Michael Bennett on a few.

These photographs are lovely. I have some old family wedding photos from around the 1920-30s, taken in the east end of London. I have one which is very similar to the style on this website – it was from the studios of J Suss Expert in Bridal Portraiture and Bridal Photography. My family were from the Stepney Green area – not Jewish, but the general styling of the portraits was very similar to those on this website. I would love to know more about my father’s family and the back story to their portrait photos.

A wonderful collection. I remember meeting Boris in the 1960s when I was a teenager and he was a client of my late father Maurice Bilmes. I knew that he was in the photography business (did the Bond Street premises not become a camera shot?) but I had no idea until I came across this website about an hour ago that he was such a brilliant photographer. A wonderful collection. One of the few benefits of insomnia!
