On January 5, 2025, six Boston-area wedding professionals came together to create something the city had never seen before. Queerly Beloved — co-founded by Amanda Macchia Photography, One Bell Designs, DJ Dayglow, Dearly Studio, Althea Floral Design, and Lensy Michelle - along with several other vendor partners - brought seven LGBTQ+ couples to the altar for free micro-wedding ceremonies at The Sinclair in Cambridge, followed by a dance party open to all. Over 400 guests showed up. $4,000 was raised for the Trevor Project.

Crystal and Andi’s Dearly Studio wedding at Bow Market was the kind of celebration that radiated authenticity, love, and queer joy. The two met back in 2015 at Aeronaut Brewing Company trivia night — bonding over identical beer orders and late-night conversation. Nearly a decade later, they were surrounded by their closest friends, raising a glass of champagne in the bright, tastefully designed Dearly Studio before heading to Wild Child for a cozy, wine-filled reception. Both in sequins — Crystal in a floor-length dusty rose gown and Andi in a dark green mini dress — their day felt effortlessly them: bold, intimate, and full of community.
