Colin & Katie
A Classy Black Tie Wedding at The Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury
This wedding, friends, is one of the most beautiful and elegant we’ve ever been a part of. The florals were gorgeous; the wedding dress was stunning, and the venue is as classy as they come. But the best of all was the people. Colin & Katie both come from two incredibly sweet families. They might’ve thrown one of the most beautiful weddings ever, but it’s only because of the people that were there to celebrate with them. Last August, we had the opportunity to photograph Tim & Julie’s wedding at John James Audubon Center. That’s where we met Katie & Colin. Katie is Tim’s sisters and was one of Julie’s bridesmaids. We love when we get to celebrate and capture weddings for families on multiple occasions. Katie’s family practically welcomed us as a member of their family on this special day last weekend and we couldn’t be more grateful. This family is one of the most kind, caring, humble and loving families we’ve ever met. We feel so fortunate enough to have photographed not one, but two weddings for the Andree family and we hope we’ll have the chance to celebrate another wedding with them someday.
Colin & Katie are a perfect example of two people in love. The way they look and laugh with one another puts a huge smile on your face. We wish we had the chance to spend more time with them, but from what we can tell, they balance each other out perfectly. Katie is certainly the more outgoing one. She is quirky, funny and we can totally see what made Colin fall in love with her. Colin is more quiet, but is charming, sweet and has a perfect smile. They’re perfect for each other, not to mention they could both make a career in modeling because… wow! These two belong on the cover of GQ & Vogue.
One of our favorite moments from their wedding was listening to the toasts and watching their reactions. It sounds a little weird, but we learned quickly how much people look up to them and how much love their family has for them. We saw Katie fighting back tears when both toasts were given. She would look at Colin and make a frown-y face and you could see that she was trying not to let the floodgates open. Then other times, she would look at him with bright beaming eyes and a huge smile and they would laugh together. It was adorable. Another favorite moment was watching Katie’s parents, Tim & Laureen, share an anniversary dance together. 30 years ago they had their wedding reception in that very room at The Shadowbrook. As Katie watched them dance, it’s clear to see that Tim & Laureen’s marriage is what she hopes her marriage with Colin will look like in 30 years.
