I always wanted to photograph a wedding ceremony at the MIT Chapel. What can you say about this building which was designed by Eero Saarinen? It has that mid-20th century/futuristic style which I absolutely love. Damn, there was so much beautiful design in the 1950′s and 1960′s.

Emilie - those ring shots are gorgeous! =)August 17, 2009 – 7:51 pm
Eugene - Wow, that place looks amazing. I really like how you framed the first shot in this set (and is that all natural light coming in from the top?).
What’s your technique for the motion-during-dance shots? There is a lot of movement in the background, but the subjects are incredibly sharp. My guess would be a combination of post-processing technique and camera panning and/or zooming?August 20, 2009 – 9:42 pm
lisarigby - Hey Eugene. The dancing effects are actually all done in-camera. But that’s the secret sauce!
