The light in the hallway was absolutely perfect, like a Vermeer painting.
This deedee was such a good boy. His mom's hair appointment started before we arrived and she was nowhere near done when we left. The deedee mostly played quietly in the doorway with his toy truck, and never made a peep and never strayed past the salon steps.
Wow. Two hours of hair and makeup later, Jing looked like herself, only extra radiant and glow-y. I'll be sure to book an appointment with this makeup artist for my next wedding!
Peter and Jing picked up their clothes and accessories at his place in Cambridge, then got ready at their wedding venue, the Harvard Faculty Club.
This poofy dress was beautiful, but overwhelming on my size 0 friend.
Something in ivory, more fitted, with delicate beading and long flowing lines...
We have a winner!
While Jing and I were checking out dresses, Peter and his dad were next door picking out tuxes. (What can I say? They're both very efficient shoppers. We pulled out of the parking lot with dress, veil and tuxes in hand.)
Peter was so cute when he came to pick Jing up. "You look beautiful," he said, smiling.
Whose idea was it to bring boys to a bridal salon?! I couldn't help but feel bad for these little guys.

The campus is so classic, so historic. I saw places I wanted to shoot everywhere I looked. Peter is graduating Thursday from Harvard with his master's -- it's a busy week for him, to say the least.
The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts was designed by the French architect Le Corbusier. Peter, an architecture major undergrad, especially wanted some pictures with this building.
One of their favorite places is the Charles River, where they like to go sailing.
I'm so glad I had the extra day to do this shoot and spend time with my dear friend and her hubby. They make the cutest couple!
I took my new toy -- a 60 mm micro lens -- out for a spin today. Here's what I came up with:
Update: My sister calls and wants to know, "What's with the ring on the flower? Why isn't it on your hand?" Let me tell you, fingers up close are ugly monsters. Hairs, wrinkles, pores, the whole hideous bit. And I'm no hand model, so I crouched in my neighbors' yards and used their pretty flowers as a placeholder.
See? Pretty ring (thanks, honey!), pretty flower... pretty picture.
