Bourne Mansion in Oakdale Long Island

Bourne Mansion Wedding

If you are having a Bourne Mansion Wedding there will be no shortage of locations to take your wedding photos. Jessica and Chris had their wedding ceremony inside of the Bourne Mansion. It was too cold to conduct outside in the Bourne Mansion courtyard. It was a warm and intimate setting. A perfect room for all you love to witness the exchanging of your wedding vows.

It’s important to feel comfortable with your photographer and be able to talk through the whole wedding day with them. I always tell my clients I am here to answer all of your questions and address all of your wedding day concerns.
