We were just down Asylum Avenue from West Hartford for Julie and Nate’s wonderfully classic wedding at Hartford’s Asylum Hill Congregational Church and at the Society Room in Hartford.

The Asylum Hill Church is famous for helping the surrounding community and like Julie’s parents, several of our neighbors and friends are active members.

At the Society Room, Julie’s father retold the story of Nate’s proposal to Julie–which included a surprise trip to England where Nate proposed at Leeds Castle in Kent.  Back in the day I (Mike) used to bring my bike on the train to bike around Leeds Castle and the surrounding countryside when I lived in England.  If you are in the London area, plan a trip out there–you’ll love it!

Julie and Nate had an absolutely perfect wedding cake in Tiffany blue and white by Konditor Meister German bakery of Braintree, MA…really striking.  The Society Room has tons of style and makes a perfect location for both the cocktail hour upstairs and the dinner and dancing downstairs.  Paula Gallo from Pentimento Flowers, who we’ve enjoyed working with before, provided the gorgeous floral displays.  And it was great to see Kathy Sciano again from Millennium Music, the trio that played during the reception.

Julie and Nate, congratulations and thanks very much for having us document your wedding!
