Continuing in my Why I Like This Picture series is an image from Amy and Spencer’s wedding back in 2009 (wow, has it been that long already?!). A Jewish wedding held in the Palm House at Franklin Park Conservatory, this picture was made during the signing of the Ketubah, which is the point when Jewish couples are actually married.
The reason I like this picture is that everyone is clearly visible and each has a story to tell – Spencer’s family on the left, as onlookers, his sister craning around to see the Ketubah, the Rabbi directing Spencer’s uncle where to sign, and Amy and Spencer looking dreamy in the background. The entire frame is filled and the composition, to me, couldn’t be any more perfect, if you’re compulsive about symmetry and pattern like I am.
