I recently reconnected with an old friend who is now a minister in Cambridge, MA. We grew up together and since have both lived all over the country so it was great to catch up. And it was also great to get to tour his church, Swedenborg Chapel. Oh my goodness, this is the epitomy of a picturesque New England church. I adore it. It is cozy and historic and beautiful. A great place for a wedding.
As it happens, they do several weddings a year. If you like, Reverend Baxter (aka Kevin) is happy to lead your ceremony. Or you are welcome to bring in your own officiant. Gotta love choices!
So many amazing details here. Note the front windows are clear cut glass with an intricate pattern.
But in the rear there are some very pretty stained glass images.
This chapel can be all lit up with candles for your evening wedding. Super dramatic and romantic!
So if you haven’t chosen your ceremony venue yet and are looking for an intimate, quintessentially New England church conveniently located in the heart of Cambridge (seemingly on Harvard‘s campus) and just a short drive from Boston, definitely check this out.
As far as I remember, Jo was probably the person who inspired me to take my first photography class. I am sure I have an innate bias toward her work, but you will be hard pressed to find such a strong life long love of photography in anyone else. I still have some of her high school work, which I will hold onto even when Jo is so famous they are worth millions of dollars.
Too many people out there only take wedding pictures for the profitability of the industry! From the work I have seen and the character I have witnessed, Allegra Photography cares about the pictures, the event, and most importantly the people.
