Subject: [MIHOUGHT] Michigan Polish Wedding Portraits- Unknown

Please help me identify the Polish families in these Michigan studio photos.

These studios are known to have taken many Polish ancestors' portraits; one here from Red Jacket and the others from Detroit. We have identified Father Paul Gutowski (Ks. Pawel Gutowski) 1845-1918 from Detroit. The wedding party with the little feathers atop the head pieces resembles an identified photo from 1903 also taken by Sowinski. So, if you can add a suggested time period or any other info- it will be appreciated. The dark wedding dresses are typical prior to 1900.

Thank you for any assistance.
