Catriona & Phillip’s Fall Wedding in Chichester, NH
There are weddings that feel like fairytales — and then there are weddings like Catriona and Phillip’s, where love, legacy, and a touch of nostalgia blend into something truly unforgettable.
On a crisp October afternoon, surrounded by New England’s signature golden foliage, Catriona and Phillip said “I do” at the breathtaking Dell-Lea Wedding Venue in Chichester, NH. The grounds were glowing with autumn color, and every corner of the property seemed to sparkle in that perfect October light. The day began with a first look with the bride's dad, and it was epic.
My favorite moment of the day? When Catriona surprised Phillip with a vintage car — the same model her parents had at their wedding all those years ago. It was such a touching nod to family history and the kind of sentimental detail that makes wedding days uniquely personal. Watching Phillip’s face light up as he saw the car for the first time was so sweet.
The team at Dell-Lea deserves every bit of praise! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what really sets it apart is the care and attention from the owner, Toutou.
Toutou was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in this couple’s experience — her attention to detail was next level! I can honestly say she and her staff went above and beyond any venue owner I’ve worked with. Every detail was handled with grace and warmth, which made the entire day flow beautifully.
From the vibrant fall tones of the florals to the laughter echoing across the open fields as the sun dipped low, this wedding embodied everything I love about fall in New England — timeless romance, vibrant color, and heartfelt connection.
Catriona and Phillip, thank you for trusting me to capture your day. Your love story is classic and full of heart — just like that vintage car.
