The first wedding I ever booked was held at the MIT Chapel a couple of years ago, so it was fun to finally revisit it for Vikki and Kyle‘s wedding over this Labor Day weekend. I love the chapel because the outside is unassuming, making the inside so unexpected and that much more awe-inducing. The way the light filters in from both the skylight above and the reflected sunlight through the moat along the bottom of the brick walls really gives the space a dream-like quality–perfect for a wedding ceremony. Vikki and Kyle’s intimate ceremony in the chapel was followed by a lively reception at the Museum of Science. They had so many fun details from the reception: the cake toppers represented the their Chinese zodiac signs (too cute!), the bridal party surprised them by creating some interactive games that got the whole room involved and howling from laughter, some talented friends gave swing dancing lessons to start the party, and the test tube centerpieces doubled as favors filled with sweet ingredients to bring home. Overall, it was a perfect evening!

Here are some of my favorites from the day…
