Hi!
So, I'm getting married at the beautiful West Manor Estate in Virginia, and I absolutely love it, there. BUT, I would really like to have my bridal portraits done somewhere other than the place I'm getting married. I love the idea of finding some old abandoned barn to take my bridal portraits in, but that's honestly not me. I am not that cool and outdoorsy! I want the bridal portraits to be a reflection of me, and I don't think that's too much to ask. So, here's my question: There's a bed and breakfast near where I'm from that does a lot of weddings and it's beautiful. It's just a little too pricey for my budget, to actually get married there. But, would it be terribly rude of me to ask for my bridal portraits to be done there even if I'm not planning on getting married there? Do wedding venues typically let you pay them to take your portraits there even if you're not planning on doing the whole even there?
This may be a stupid question, but I figured it never hurts to ask! Please help me!
