Need a picture site!

Ok, so I am having a hard time with finding somewhere to take pics in between my ceremony which is in Deer Park and my reception which is at the Jerricho Terrace in Mineola. I have about 2 hours in between to take pics, so I'd like to find someplace, outdoors, that is on the way from point A to point B. The only place I can find that stil has an opening for me is Old Westbury Gardens. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks ladies!

Yes, I thought of that (esp bc I took my engagement pics there) but I am worried that it may be really packed considering you don't need an appt or permit.

How about Argyle park in Babylon? Not sure if you need any permits or anything but it's really pretty there and you have plenty of time.

Clarke Gardens in Albertson is really great and its smaller and sweeter then Old Westbury that can get sold out. Its on IU Willets Road. On your way from Deer Park to Mineola!!!!!

Thank you for your recommendations ladies. I thought of Argyle because when I was younger I always saw brides getting pictures taken there and always said I would take mine there. But I am concerned about the duck poo situation, lol.

I've never heard of CLark Gardens but I will definetly check it out. Do you know if they have any indoor spot on premise in case of rain?

The planting fields/arboretum that's either in Syosset or Oyster Bay. I'm not sure if that's on your way or out of the way (not too familiar with the towns farther out on the island).

Those pics are gorgeous! Did they give you a time limit on how long you could stay and take pics? Some places told me I could only have 1-1 1/2 hours I didn't think that was enough time.

Planting Fields (in Oyster bay) is beautiful but I am concerned that it is too far north from my hall. I don't want my BP to get stir crazy in the limo lol. Thanks for your recomendation tho!
