Suggestions for...

hi Ladies .. I need suggestions on places that FH and I can go to take engagement pictures, and a place to go before our reception.Our RH said www can come up to 3 hours before the CH and take pictures there, but I would like to Have the option of going somewhere before then to take pics.

We are getting married in a church in Queens and our RH is Westbury Manor, if that helps.

i am doing fire island or robert moses lighthouse for e shoot. but still no idea for day of shoot.

westbury gardens is really nice but costs a lot (my time slot would be at like 5 and that costs like 400 or 500)
