Planning a fall wedding at Shadowbrook? In November the trees around the terrace turn bright red and orange, so leave time for portraits by the white balustrade and under the black pergola. Indoors, the ornamental black-and-white gates dressed with white florals make an elegant backdrop for family photos. If your ceremony is at a church off-site, as Catie and TJ’s was, build in travel time so you’re back with daylight for the terrace. And the grand covered entrance out front is worth a quick portrait as you arrive.
