"Dead photography" wasn't that unusual down south, at least - though it does seem to mostly have been children (often posed as if alive in mother's or siblings's arms <<eeew>> or in a little chair or cradle; most adults I've seen were "laid out" or in their casket. Money for photographers was scarce, so often these were the only photos ever taken of the family.... My former MiL had a 10 x 14 photo of her dead husband in his coffin prominently displayed on the wall in her living room.
Can't make up my mind about this one, though... not to be gross, but her eyes look very clear for someone deceased/embalmed...

People DID take pictures of their dead babies--I have seen some. But I've never heard of a dead bride.
