I first met Lorenna and Justin for their engagement session over a year ago, which we shot in/around MIT. Their wedding was held at Simmons Hall, also at MIT, and for those of you familiar with the campus at all, you know that Simmons is actually a residence hall. The ceremony was held on one of the terraces with a view of Boston across the Charles, and the reception took place in the dining hall on the first floor which they transformed into an intimate setting for a family-style dinner. I love that they wanted a meaningful space for their wedding day (it’s currently the place they call home while they are both MIT graduate students) and were able to pull it off. They were the first–and could very likely be the last–couple to ever hold their wedding there!

The day was filled with some fun science-related details, including putting their own twist to the traditional unity candle lighting (they poured two clear liquids together which turned blue when combined) and using scientific formulas as table names. Their dessert table included homemade cakes. All in all it was a fun-filled, love-filled day!

Some favorites..

Lorenna and Justin, thanks so much again for having me there! Wishing you both all the best!
