Mike and Taylor’s Hyla Brook Estate wedding in Derry, New Hampshire, was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt emotion. The venue, known for its rustic charm and breathtaking New England scenery, looked absolutely stunning for their formal black-tie celebration. The classic style of their event paired beautifully with the estate’s refined atmosphere. Every detail came together seamlessly, creating a day that had both sophistication and was deeply personal.
The morning was filled with so many beautiful moments. But one of the most touching was Taylor’s first look with her dad. As she stepped out in her wedding gown, his expression said it all — pure pride, love, and joy. Taylor gifted him a set of custom-made cufflinks and a matching tie clip, a meaningful keepsake he’ll treasure forever. His reaction was emotional and heartwarming, and it was such a special reminder of the bond they share.
Shortly after, Taylor and Mike shared their own first look, and it was every bit as emotional. The moment Mike turned around and saw his bride, his face instantly lit up. You could feel the love and excitement between them. Before the ceremony, they took a few quiet moments together to exchange gifts and read private vows. Taylor surprised Mike with a Rolex watch, an unexpected and incredibly meaningful gift that left him speechless. Their reactions to one another were so genuine and sweet — full of love, gratitude, and anticipation for the day ahead.
The ceremony itself was just as special. One of the most unique touches was having their former high school teacher, who had played a memorable role in both of their lives, attend and read during the ceremony. It was such a thoughtful way to honor their story and the connection that brought them together years ago.
The fall day could not have been more perfect — crisp, clear, and surrounded by rich autumn color. The bridesmaids’ dresses were stunning! Their deep tones complemented the fiery reds, golds, and oranges of the foliage around the estate. Everywhere you looked, the scenery basically seemed to glow, making for the most dreamy backdrop to capture their love.
The grounds of Hyla Brook Estate were simply radiant that day, and every moment — from emotional first looks to joyful laughter with family and friends — was filled with warmth and meaning. It was a day that perfectly reflected who Mike and Taylor are as a couple: classic, kind, and deeply in love.
Mike and Taylor, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your incredible wedding day. It was an honor to witness and document such a beautiful celebration. I hope you love your photos and that they forever bring you back to that unforgettable fall day at Hyla Brook Estate.
