Jackie Kennedy and John f. Kennedy's 1953 Wedding in Photos

However, she wasn't given any credit from the Kennedy's for the creation. Like any other wedding, this one wasn't without its last-minute emergencies, as well. Jackie's dress almost didn't make it to the ceremony. Disaster struck when a pipe burst in Lowe's New York City studio, covering the wedding gown and the bridesmaids dresses in water 10 days before the ceremony. All 10 dresses were recreated with Lowe and her team working round the clock for the next week. The ivory tissue-silk dress, with a portrait neckline and bouffant skirt with wax flowers, was an immediate success; the look, complete with an heirloom rose-point lace veil and pearls, is one of the most iconic bridal ensembles of all time. According to the book What Jackie Taught Us, however, the future first lady wasn't thrilled with the choice, having hoped for a simpler, sleeker dress. Jackie was escorted down the aisle of St. Mary's Church by her stepfather, Hugh D. Auchincloss, as tenor soloist Luigi Vena sang the hymn "Ave Maria." Before the ceremony began, Archbishop Cushing read a personal blessing from Pope Pius XII. The bridal party included Jackie's sister Lee; the groom's sister Jean and sister-in-law Ethel; as well as John's brothers Robert, who served as best man, and Edward; brother-in-law Sargent Shriver; and Charles Bartlett, who introduced the Kennedys. More than 900 guests gathered to celebrate the newlywed Kennedys at a grand reception held at Hammersmith Farm. The newlyweds took two hours to shake every guest's hand (and you thought your receiving line was long?!) before digging into their four-layer wedding cake. The couple also kept their wedding invitation simple and classic, with black ink printed on cream paper (the original is on display at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum).

Photographing a wedding requires strength and endurance, not to mention a clear mind for navigating the unexpected challenges that wedding days notoriously bring, whether it be bad weather, an unrealistic timeline, tough lighting conditions, a difficult client (it happens!), or some other source of stress. The more rested you are, the better you’ll be able to address and overcome any unforeseen challenges. Stay on your feet - Make sure you are wearing some comfortable shoes because you will be moving around quickly to cover all the events, rituals, and moods. Shoot with Storytelling in Mind - Simply put, be sure to capture wide, medium, and closeup shots during each part of the day. For example, if you’re photographing a marriage ceremony, shoot a wide-angle shot (maybe 24mm) from the center aisle to showcase the location, the altar/mandap, the couple, and the guests. Then shoot a medium angle shot (maybe at 50mm or 85mm) of the bride or groom from each side of the ceremony site.

And don't forget to add that wedding hashtag to the caption to complete it! Now we can hang out forever! It was love at first swipe. He stole my heart so I'm taking his last name. All of my smiles start with you. He liked it so he put a ring on it. You're my person, forever. I do, we did. Together is a wonderful place to be. Eat, drink, and be married.
