Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury is a historic New Jersey mansion with the drama of a grand hotel. Move Mountains Co. photographed Connor + Emily's February wedding here, and we wrote that "golden light spilled from crystal chandeliers onto marble floors" as guests moved through velvet-lined halls.
Chandeliers, marble and grand staircases
The mansion was built between 1908 and 1910 and sits on 18 acres with a maple-lined drive and historic formal gardens, including a rose garden. Shadowbrook describes a grand staircase with brass handrails, a 32-light chandelier, a honeycombed wood ceiling and the Horseshoe Bar. Its newer Grand Ballroom holds up to 600 guests, with 30-foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a fireplace and a dueling grand staircase.
Shadowbrook's team made a winter wedding feel warm and seamless, and we'd love to photograph many more celebrations in these halls.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
