Katie and Brian had a warm (for December!) and wonderful West Hartford wedding last Saturday, with their ceremony at St. Thomas the Apostle<\/a> Church and reception at the Pond House<\/a> restaurant at Elizabeth Park.\u00a0 We love Elizabeth Park, and have been meaning to eat at the Pond House, which wins praise for its food and is a cool and different space with a mid-century vibe that works well at Christmas—for example, they used miniature silver tinsel xmas trees on the hors d’oeuvre trays.<\/p>\n

It’s so welcoming to have a couple’s personal photos on display at the reception.\u00a0 In addition to table photos of Katie and Brian’s special places, they had their relatives’ striking sepia wedding photos from the early 20th century along with family photos on display in the foyer and hall.\u00a0 It’s also real special when a couple speaks at the reception, and the touching words Katie and Brian offered one another were as meaningful as their actual vows in the church.<\/p>\n

Katie and Brian, thanks for having us photograph your wedding!! Enjoy Hawaii…have a Mai Tai or two for us : }<\/p>\n
