Picture sites near centerport???

Ceremony is at 3pm in West Babylon.

Reception is at 7pm in Centerport (thatched cottage)

We were hoping to take pictures at the Vanderbilt Museum but someone is having tentative wedding there, so we are on a waiting list.

In case it doesn't happen. where else can we look? My photographer had eye on the vanderbilt, not to keen on Centerport Beach, any ideas? Where is the Northport docks in comparison to the TC?

Our church is in West Babylon, I know the Argyle Park is over there, but not keen on all the goose poop Any other ideas?

Thanks girls

Let me know what you decide Celia! What's wrong with the beach -- is it you or the photographer who is not keen on it? I was thinking of doing that!

Let me add that I've never been to Centerport Beach, I'm just a beach person in general, and I was thinking of going there too.

I just took my pictures at TC and it was soooooo much easier. You don't have to worry as much about the back and forth.

Thats what we were hoping to do! But then they told us we cant come before 6pm , our ceremony is at 3pm only half hour. So our photographer doesnt want to wait around til 6 in case we need an additional 30 minutes. Our main concern is being finished by 7pm to enjoy cocktail hour.

My boss lives in Centerport and I'd love to volunteer his backyard!!! FH & I house sat for 3 weeks in December and January and kept saying...'If we were only getting married closer...'!

Since you are getting married in West Babylon, have you thought of Belmont Lake State Park in Babylon? The grounds are gorgeous that time of year and they maintain the geese poop on the side walks rather well...IDK just a thought?

Re: Picture sites near centerport???

if you're traveling from Thatched Cottage you'll head east on 25A you will make a left on to Woodbine, (landmark: Gas station on your left and across the street from that is a Rug shop with a red sign) you take Woodbine all the way down till you hit the main intersection, if you make a left & the parking lot will be immediately on your right. Enjoy!

Honestly the whole entire day was a BLUR!!!! I really have no concept of time since I wasn't looking at the clock. I'm pretty sure that DH, the men and his family were there ontime but the women and my family got a late start since the photographer was taking pixs of me at my parents house plus the hair person was still workin on hair. We left much later than anticipated.

I have NO clue how long I was sitting in the car when we actually got to TC but I think it was closer to 10:30 which means we had a little more time there. The ketubah ceremony started around 11:45 and we got to TC after 10:30. We definetely had enough time to take pictures.

The only thing was that by the time we finished many guests were already there and we rushed into the ketubah signing (the first time people are ontime to a jewish wedding LMAO) which was downstairs then rushed upstairs and the actual ceremont started around 12:20.

Were you given the option to come an hour earlier? We paid a little bit extra to come in at 10 and it was definetely worth it.

Wow that was longer than i thought it would be.

Oops didn't answer this one...unfortunately no pix yet. No one was outside other than us and the photographer. I am counting down the days to call her!!! She said to contact her 4 weeks after the wedding (which means another 2 weeks).

Re: Picture sites near centerport???

FH and I just went to an open house in Northport and stopped by the harbor..

LOVED IT! If we don't get the Vanderbilt, I am fine with it...The harbor was very pretty

If you're going to Cold Spring Harbor you can also look into St. John' s Pond. next to St. John's Church on Route 25A- Gorgeous!
