Michelle + Ari | Married! 09.08.12 | Salem Old Town Hall Wedding | 43 Church Wedding

This is Michelle & Ari! They originally planned to get married in Crocker Park in Marblehead, Massachusetts, but some logistics got in the way and they moved their celebration to Salem. I think it turned out for the best! I met Michelle and her ladies at the Boston Yacht Club in Marblehead (one of my FAVORITE New England towns), where they were getting ready (and where we did her and Ari’s First Look!). We then headed to the Old Town Hall in Salem, a spot that I had walked by many times but never had a chance to look inside! It is the earliest surviving municipal structure in Salem (dating from the early 1800s). They did their ketubah signing in the downstairs area (which used to be a public market but now acts as a public art space), and then headed to the upstairs area (which has always been used as a meeting space) for their gorgeous ceremony. We then walked over to the nearby 43 Church (formerly The Lyceum) for their reception! I absolutely love Salem and everything it has to offer, and Michelle & Ari’s wedding was a fantastic addition!
