I realllly want to take pics at either hempstead house or westbury gardens
bc i love the gardens and i want the option of having mansion in event of rain
BUT my wedding is patchogue!

Re: Is thiscrazy?
what about one of the Vanderbilt mansions? Dowling in Oakdale is 15-20 minuets at the most from your hall.
also the the Bayard Arboretum is not far from there. I think you need a photographer permit though.
Are you taking photos before your ceremony?

Re: Is thiscrazy?
i called lessings and they said they dont allow you to take pics at bourne or vanderbilt if you are not getting married there
yes we are taking pics before ceremony
i heard about bayard but never been there i think my mom said the entire arboretum is actually covered, so u can still take pics if it rains?

Re: Is thiscrazy?
you have to remember there will be traffic (thats labor day wkdn isnt it?) and the time it takes you to get out of limo and set up, i think you are cutting it to close with sunset.
bayard cutting arboretum is beautiful, and closer to patchogue. Its def not OWG but its still beautiful. Can you go to the Vanderbuilt at Dowling? Its diff than the vanderbuilt by lessings, and as of June 2011 they are not doing weddings anymore. Maybe they will allow you to take pics there

Vanderbilt and Bourne mansion are like 10 minutes from you. Go to one of those.
edit because I read the above post: I thought you could pay a fee at Bourne to take pics there.

my ceremony is at 6 pm. sunset is around 730 in sept my ceremony will be only 20/30 minutes, so i have plenty of time to take sunset pics
i will plan to be at the hall by 430, so thats not an issue
I guess, I will have to go check out bayard
do they have a building/mansion on the property? or its just gardens?
wait, the vanderbilt at dowling is the lessings property-i am confused! I visited it, its def at dowling
when i google vanderbilt the only other one that comes up is in New Hyde Park ??

I was in the same boat as you I am getting married in center moriches and I sooooooo badly wanted pics at old westbury gardens but its just to far away and we would waste so much time so my photog said they would take pics after the wedding there for me on the day of my ttd so FH and I will go to westbury gardens a week or 2 after the wedding and I will get the pics I want

Dowling is part of lessings... they serve lessings food in the cafe lol or at least their aprons say so.
