The moment you step foot on the grounds of Bourne Mansion you will notice all of the great locations to take beautiful wedding photos. The Entrance and driveway of Bourne Mansions is no exception. Every direction you turn there are beautiful photos to be taken.
In one direction you have Bourne Mansion itself. The large building is perfect for creative or candid photos. I have photographed everything from fun bridal party photos to traditional family portraits to creative photographs of our couples here.
If you turn around you have long winding tree-filled pathways that offer the perfect backdrop for any of the above-mentioned photos.
Bourne Mansion is a one-of-a-kind catering hall.
When choosing a wedding photographer to photograph your wedding at Bourne Mansion, you have to make sure they have photographed many weddings here and know all of the great locations to use to take these types of images for you on your wedding day.
Bourne Mansion has a fantastic grand ballroom. The high ceilings and beautiful uplighting are exactly what your photographer is going to need to create beautiful images of your reception on your wedding day.
During your reception, we will use a photography technique called off-camera flash. This technique allows us to take not only great candid photos but light them in a way that is creative as well. The Bourne Mansion's high ceilings allow us to do this without getting in your guest's way or having them be visible in your wedding photos.
During your reception, we will take the utmost care in photographing all of the great moments from the moment you and your husband enter the room for your grand entrance, your first dance, parent dances, cake cutting ceremony as well as your parent dance.
When you choose Lotus Wedding Photography to photograph your wedding at Bourne Mansion we will take photos just like the ones you see here for you on your big day.
The outdoor ceremony space at Bourne Mansion is beautiful.
When we are photographing the bride walking down the aisle, the background is the mansion itself.
The beautiful white columns provide a great non-distracting backdrop while the leading lines lead your eye to the bride and the father of the bride as they walk down the aisle hand in hand.
When we photograph the bride's and groom's vows, ring exchange ceremony, or first kiss as husband and wife, the background is a large open area full of greenery and blue skies.
The vast open areas are why most couples choose to host their wedding at Bourne Mansion. These beautiful grounds are perfect for all of your wedding photography needs.
Whether it be your outdoor ceremony, your first look, fun bridal party photos, traditional family portraits, or timeless photos of you and your husband together, the grounds at Bourne Mansion has you covered.
Some couples know about this location while many do not. This is a really cool feature of Bourne Mansion that we love to use when photographing weddings here.
I love to take creative photos as well as romantic images of our couples alone together here.
This is also a really fun location to use for photos of your big bridal party photos. I love to use a photography technique called stacking.
When you stack a bridal party you can have some of the groomsmen on different levels of the stairs, you can do this with the bridesmaids too. It makes for cool photos of your bridal party together.
Some people may be reading this, going what are they talking about, large glass windows?
Yes! In the back of Bourne Mansion off to the side, Bourne Mansion has these really large glass windows that are a GREAT addition to your wedding gallery.
Your wedding photos are the only thing you will take with you after your wedding day. When choosing the right photographer, make sure that they know your venue inside and out. Some photographers know the basic places to use, but you want a photographer that knows all of the little locations too.

The inside of Bourne Mansion is just as nice as the outside for wedding photos. I have used the inside of Bourne Mansion to photograph creative photos of the couple together as well as photos of the bride and each of her bridesmaids, the groom and each of his groomsmen and of course family photos too.
Bourne Mansion really does have it all when to comes to locations to use to create beautiful photos on your wedding day.

Detail photos such as your engagement ring, wedding bands, wedding dress, bridal bouquet, veil, and wedding invitation are so important for your wedding album. When we photograph your wedding we are always thinking about what is the best way to tell the story of our couple's wedding day. These small details help tell the big story of our bride's and the groom's big day.
The robe shot has become a wedding photography staple for most Long Island brides. These fun bridal party photos are silly and one of my favorite parts of any wedding day. When we photograph your big day, we will take a variety of photography styles. Creative, candid, traditional, and artistic wedding images should be taken at every wedding. When it comes to pictures of you and your bridesmaids, we want to have fun and show your true relationships with your bridesmaids.
Timeless wedding photos are what Lotus Wedding Photography is most known for. Our goal is for you to look at your wedding gallery 30 years from now with your children and grandchildren and still love each and every one of your images. When we photograph your getting ready photos, we will take creative and candid images like the one you see here.
Candid wedding photos like this are why we became Long Island Wedding Photographers. In this photo here you see the mother of the bride giving her daughter a warm hug before she goes off and marries the man of her dreams. This image was set up, but not posed. We did not tell her to do this, she was zipping up the back of the bride's wedding dress and she just hugged her. Their expression mixed with fantastic lighting is why I love this candid getting ready photo so much. When we photograph your wedding at Bourne Mansion we will take photos just like this for you.
This emotional photo says so much to me. As the father of a baby girl, I would love it if her wedding photographer took a photo of us together like this. We did a first look with the father of the bride just before leaving for the ceremony. When the bride's father saw her for the first time with her bridal makeup on, wedding dress on, bridal bouquet in hand, it was too much emotion for him to hold back. She walked down the stairs of the home where she grew up in, they hugged and this was the candid image I was able to capture for them.
What is a bridal portrait? After we have completed all of your detail photos and getting ready photos it is now time to take some beautiful photos of the bride alone.
I love so much about this image, from the light that is hitting the brides face, to the warm/cold tones on either side of the image. I love to take photos that not only show off the bride's wedding dress, veil, bridal makeup and hair but also that shows us how beautiful she is on the inside. When we photograph your wedding at Bourne Mansion, I would love to take photos just like this for you.
During your ceremony, there is nothing more powerful than a great candid photograph. When I photograph a couple's wedding ceremony, I will take the utmost care in photographing the first time the groom sees his bride-to-be walking down the aisle, the bride's expression as the father of the bride gives her away, your vows, ring exchange ceremony and of course, your first kiss as husband and wife. A great candid image is the heart and soul of any wedding album.
After you have your first kiss and you do your receiving line and exit shot, we will then take you and your husband back into the church to take some creative wedding photos. In this photo, I wanted to show off the cross of the church as well as the bride's and groom's love for each other.
I love the bride's expression as her husband gently kisses her forehead.
The goal for us as your wedding photographers is to take timeless wedding photos that you and your family can cherish forever. The Bourne Mansion has a ton of great locations for us to do just that.
This image of the bride and groom holding hands and enjoying the moment was taken in the front of Bourne Mansion. The mansion provides the perfect backdrop for this timeless wedding photo.
Side note: if you feel weird, you look weird. When you are comfortable with your wedding photographer, you will forget that we are taking photos of you and relax. You will enjoy the process of taking wedding photos and will look happy, this will allow us to take photos just like this for you on your wedding day at Bourne Mansion.
As much as we love to take candid wedding photos, we believe that a well-rounded wedding gallery should have a nice mix of creative and candid images. This image was taken in front of Bourne Mansion.
