Cadillac: American grandeur on your wedding day

Cadillac is General Motors' luxury marque and for a long time stood for success in the United States. The models from the fifties and sixties are especially popular with wedding couples: long bonnets, plenty of chrome and, in the late fifties, the famous tailfins. Names like De Ville, Eldorado and Fleetwood bring that image to mind straight away.

A car like this makes an impression on arrival, but it also needs a little preparation. Classic American cars are long and wide, so agree on a spot where the car can stop without blocking the street. In a historic town centre, parking right outside the door is often difficult. Inside, there is usually plenty of room: many cars from that era have an automatic gearbox and wide bench seats, so a dress with a train fits in without any fuss.

Think about how the car will look in your photos, too. A Cadillac is so long that it is hard to fit it fully into the frame in a narrow spot. A driveway, a square or a quiet country lane gives the photographer room to capture the whole line of the car, from bonnet to tailfin.
