    Ancestry shows an Arthur and Annie Springgett living with their son Arthur, age 2, at 1310 Stevenson Street, San Francisco in 1900.
    Arthur was born in CA in March 1869, Annie was born in Ireland in March 1870. They were married for 4 years and had 2 children, 1 living.

    I’d suggest this is their wedding portrait. The use of flowers was common to signify the blessed day.
