Old Westbury Garden - just us or with bridal party?

We are taking photos at Old Westbury Gardens prior to our ceremony. The slot is an hour and half, and I am debating whether we should just have the session with the two of us, or also have the bridal party. We have 8 in total (both sides combined) in the bridal party. I'm not sure if it's long enough to include others, as it is the primary shoot for outdoor pictures. I am getting married at Jericho Terrace, so there's an outdoor section but not a full garden like some catering halls. However, I am having a parasol, and each of my BMs has parasols. Do you think the outside of JT is sufficient for the parasol shots, or do you think we should have the Old Westbury Garden shoot with the bridal party?

Thanks!

i would do the whole bp..if anything you could split the time half and half or so..but although the outside of jt is nice, it's not very large..

Have them there!!

We took some pics with them, and then they went back to the party bus where we had lunch waiting.... we took some just us, and then they joined us again!!

There are some shots that will look GREAT with your BP!!!

I could seriously post a MILLION pics...lol... but here are some of just us and some of us and our BP to show that you can get the best of both worlds!!
