Alfred Hitchcock and Reville wedding

This charming photograph from 1926 captures the newlywed Alfred Hitchcock, future master of suspense, alongside his bride Alma Reville on their wedding day. The scene is full of emotion and period charm: Hitchcock, already dressed in formal elegance, is showered in confetti, while Alma smiles radiantly in her flapper-era ensemble, complete with a fur-trimmed coat and layered pearls. His calm, observant expression already hints at the genius director he was destined to become.

The couple was married on December 2, 1926, just days after the release of Hitchcock’s first feature film, The Pleasure Garden. The ceremony took place at Brompton Oratory, a prominent Catholic church in London. Far from being merely a supportive spouse, Alma Reville played a crucial role in Hitchcock’s career—as a screenwriter, editor, and trusted creative advisor. Their marriage would become one of the most enduring and influential partnerships in cinema history.

This photograph not only captures a personal milestone but also the beginning of a legendary collaboration that would change the face of film.
