request- PICTURES!- church's and locations please!

Hello ladies!
I was wondering if some of you post-wedding brides can supply pictures of your church.
Specifically the following, as these are our options:

Our Lady of Lourdes- West Islip
(my church- don't really want to go there, bad memories)

Our Lady of Grace- West Babylon
(Joe's church- he doesn't like it, and a friend of mine was laid out there, so I try and avoid it)

Our Lady of Perpetual Help- Lindenhurst
(Joe went to K-8 there)

St. Patrick's- Bayshore
(I have a few ties with that church)

And hopefully you ladies will throw some others in there too = )

I love cathedral looking churchs, and ones with arches.

Please give the name of the church you are posting a picture of.

Also, locations... where did you go to have your pictures done?
Joe and I aren't into pretty gardens/flowers. We're more into strange buildings and arch ways... maybe even a trail.
I want to have our pictures done at pilgrim state.. go ahead, laugh... I just LOVE it there, not inside the buildings, as most are destroyed inside, but the outside, the brick work and (again) arch ways. But joe won't go for it...
I was thinking maybe going up to centerport, but I have a feeling we'll be traveling out to queens for the reception (haven't booked yet) so I don't want to go all over the place.

so.. yea, pictures please! (make sure to add where the picture was taken and even the photog)

THANK YOU!!!

I didn't get married in a church so I can't help out there, but I did have my pictures taken at the Vanderbuilt in Centerport. I don't know where you are located or having your Reception, but it was a beautiful place, and the price wasn't half bad either.
I also wanted to add that I had my reception in Queens and I still went to the Vanderbuilt, but we had the Ceremony out in Woodbury, so it wasn't too far from the ceremony site. We still made great time getting back to queens.

I have the photos saved to my computer, I forgot. Here are a few I took when I was there. I didn't post my proofs yet, but they came out AMAZING. That place is so beautiful.

I don't have any pictures of it, but St. Martin of Tours in Amityville is gorgeous! You wouldn't really think it from the outside, but the inside is really beautiful.

I am getting married at St pats in Bay SHore and love it....also look at St Joes in Babylon i think its the look you are going for.

The people at St Pats have been wonderful and Im not a parishioner there.

I am a little weary of vanderbuilt, I heard they are having a lot of financial problems.. and their days open are becoming more limited....Just a little heads up for everyone to be careful of! LOVE the grounds though.

St Joes in Babylon. We didnt belong there, but they were very welcoming, and everything was great. more pics in album

we took pics just down the road in Brightwaters. There is a little park there. We rushed out of the church, to try and salvage what light was available. it was free too...

I showed joe your pictures last night, of St. Josephs. We actually like it.. A LOT.
I was always there for funerals, as I am a member of the AOH (around the corner) and that's where we held them... it was always dark, but I was a lot younger the last time I was there, and the way it looks in your pictures are just breathtaking... so We'll def talk to them as we don't care much for our parish's... (a lot of drama)

thank you!
