Tomorrow marks the day when I first started this blog! Wow I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I’ve blogged 54 times, which means I’ve exceeded my goal of blogging at least once a week! Yippee! I hope my good habits will continue. Honestly, I could not have done it without the encouragement of my friends, family, and fellow readers. Thanks!! Okay, onto the real reason I’m blogging today…
It was just a few weeks ago when I blogged Emily and Grant’s engagement session, and now they’re married! The weather had cooled down and was just a gorgeous day to get married! I had been looking forward to shooting their wedding ceremony at MIT chapel, which is designed by the famous architect Eero Saarinen who also designed the St. Louis arch (yes I’m a nerd..I like to research all my venues prior to the wedding.). It’s a beautiful church that’s completely circular and windowless except for the large oculus in the ceiling.
The sun shines down the oculus and hits the metal curtain-like sculpture, producing lots of pretty sparkles.

Emily looks so happy walking down the aisle..all 4 steps, because the chapel is literally that small!
I really like wide balcony shots. Many thanks to Karman Lee, my second shooter who caught this beautiful image from the choir loft.
Just married!
A few portraits, then off to the reception.
Their car was secretly decorated by family members. So cute!
The reception was held at the Harry Parker Boathouse, which is the most modern boat house I’ve ever seen!
Having all their families’ wedding pictures displayed was a really sweet touch.
Karman was able to get reactions of the guests during the toasts while I focused on the bride and groom.
The food was delicious! There were passed hor d’oeuvres and little food stations all around the reception.

Congrats again to you two! I am so happy for you both and loved shooting every minute of your wedding!
