Hooray!!!
Caitlin’s incredibly beautiful wedding day was captured by Lulu Lovering Photography.
Caitlin was married in November at an apple orchard in New Hampshire. As you may remember back when we first met Caitlin, she didn’t want a big “show” of a wedding, but instead “wanted everything to be us, and to have meaning, hence me using my mother’s dress.”
I was so fortunate to have been able to work with Caitlin to create her custom one-of-a-kind wedding dress, that fit so perfectly into the occasion.
Here’s what Caitlin had to say about her experience:
“When I found Brooks Ann, I was nearing desperation…
I had approached seven other dressmakers and not one of them was willing to take on my project. I wanted to use my mother’s wedding dress material in my dress design, but make it my own: a wearable memory quilt. Brooks Ann came to my rescue, listened to me, and lit up over the project, like I did.
From that point on, I knew I was taken care of and my dress was going to be something I would treasure and pass on to the next generation. Brooks Ann “got me” through and through. She knew I wasn’t into ” the show”, I wanted an heirloom, a story. She gave me the most beautiful story in that dress, and I got to make a dear friend in the process. I am forever grateful for her immense brilliance.” –Caitlin
Doesn’t get any better than that!

i adore how you’ve written our story. My family gas enjoyed reliving the experience through your blog and sharing it with family that could’t be with us that day. Your name is always the first that comes to mind when asked about Hillsborough Artisans.
It was truly my pleasure.
I just loved how you documented the entire process from brginning to end. I’m especially glad I got to see the happy couple. Caitlin looks just beautiful and is glowing! This story would make a freat Hallmark Movie,
Thanks Libby! I love documenting the stories of my brides and sharing behind-the-scenes of each of their creations. Caitlin was a joy to work with and I’m so glad you liked following along!
