Wow – that New York Times write-up of the (April, 1898) wedding was a trip!
They had a 50-piece orchestra in the church to play the wedding music. A "breakfast reception", immediately following, at the home of the bride's parents (258 Madison Avenue) ... where "a light breakfast was served to 500 people" ... former President and Mrs. Benjamin Harrison were in attendance. They sailed on the Britannic for their two-month honeymoon in Europe ... (looks like there was enough money to go around).
That would have been a hell of a wedding to shoot carrying around 4x5 cameras.
(Another photo of Mrs. Loew here.)

Whoa! All for the low price cost of $300.00 - (joking)
compared to today's cost which would be about $3 mil for that.
What a party that would have been.

I did some research and found she is Florence Bellows Baker Loew. I started an entry in Wikipedia for her:
Florence Bellows Baker Loew (1876–1936) was a horse woman and philanthropist and award winning horticulturist.

Another Bain/LOC photo shows Mr. and Mrs. Loew, together with three of their daughters. The sporty W. Goadby Loew was famous as a snappy dresser.
