This film is in two parts: The first documents a wedding reception. The couple do all the things the couple typically do in things like this. After that, there is another reception of some sort, all tables are set up outside. No idea what it's for.. doesn't look too formal.

I'm figuring late 1960's, early 1970's ? Everyone seems pretty cool for being mainstream, whatever. Long hair and beards even in the crowd at woodstock was rare. the film probably super 8? it was about an f stop or two under exposed. but thats better than being over exposed on positive film like kodachrome. well also it depends on how it was archived copied etc. density is the key. for slide or film underexpose. for negative film over expose an f stop or two. jmho now a retired 35mm publications photographer.

★★★ · Interesting contrast · 333maxwell · 2018-01-21

Much of the film seems to be roughly 1966ish by the clothes and hair styles and such.. Then BAM.. Someone who looks rather mid 70's pops up. My best guess is maybe 1972 in a small town that hasn't quite got hip to the newest fashion trends yet. There was a lot of Jackie Kennedy influence happening still there.. But I absolutely saw a few with hair and clothes that would have been out of place much before early 70's.
