Yvonne Todd: Brides sees the renowned artist revisit the early days of her career working as a wedding photographer in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in the 1990s. Shot on location in derelict outdoor wedding locations, Todd infuses the conventional bridal portrait with her signature elixir of eeriness and elegance, hinting at creepy archaic rituals that sit uneasily within the modern wedding album.
