Description

First generation 8” x 10” silver gelatin photograph printed from the original 4” x 5” negative, showing an adoring Jacqueline Kennedy glancing at John F. Kennedy on their wedding day. In very fine museum-quality condition. John and Jacqueline married at historic St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 12, 1953. The much-publicized wedding featured a massive guest list that included senators and congressmen, Bay State political figures, and several Hollywood luminaries, with the nuptial mass conducted by Cardinal Cushing, the esteemed Archbishop of Boston. A wonderful and idyllic image of the young couple.

• This photograph will be featured in the upcoming JFK LIFE Magazine 'special edition' commemorating JFK’s birthday on May 29, 2017.
