BOSTON (AP) — A Boston auction house was set to close an online auction on 13 negatives from John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy's wedding in Newport, Rhode Island.
The negatives feature images of the wedding party posing outside, the newlyweds leaving the church and the couple cutting the wedding cake. The Kennedys were married on Sept. 12, 1953, at St. Mary's Church in the well-heeled summer resort located about 60 miles from Boston.
RR Auction said the images are attributed to freelance photographer Frank Ataman.
Four images are of the newlyweds, two show the entire wedding party, and the remainder show the cake, reception and wedding attendees. The negatives are in their original folder and accompanied by 5 x 4 printouts.
