We traveled to the beautiful Wake Robin Inn in Lakeville, Connecticut in the Litchfield hills for Leah and Timothy’s Moroccan-themed tented wedding in late August.  Folks came from England, Australia and elsewhere to this corner of Connecticut–where NY, MA and CT meet–to celebrate their wedding…and it didn’t rain!

Leah and Timothy selected various Moroccan items for their wedding, from the toffee-colored lanterns to the bright orange harissa on the tables.  The Wake Robin is perfect for country weddings as you have the Inn all to yourselves…it has its own pub, and lots of reading rooms perfect for the cocktail party that followed the outdoor ceremony.

For the reception, they dined and danced under a Sperry Tent, which is distinctively different from a white vinyl tent—the tent fabric is sailcloth and drapes more naturally from the tent poles…and it’s more translucent.  Perfect choice for Leah and Timothy’s Moroccan theme.   (For more info about tent types, check out this article from the Wedding Bee Pro, a good wedding blog).  The lighting created a warm-toned mood with wrought iron chandeliers hung from the tent poles.

After several speeches, the band, led by New York musician Eric Nicolas, delivered some great music.

Thanks Leah and Timothy (and Ami!) for having us photograph your wedding!
