Calling any (already wed) Patriot Hills Brides???

Ela34

Hello ladies,I just had a question for anyone that got married at Patriot Hills, meaning, had the ceremony there as well. I wanted to know what you did for pictures. I am so afraid that an hour isn't enough time and that there aren't enough spots there to take pictures.
I have been trying to convince my fiance to meet up before hand, but he doesn't really like that idea, so I don't want to push the issue too much.
Any thoughts I would really appreciate it!

We took our pictures beforehand in Haverstraw on  a park on the water. If you guys don't agree to take photos beforehand, I'm sure the staff would have some suggestions for you on what others have done.

My sister got married there lat summer. Her and her fiancé did reveal shots after getting ready at the comfort Inn I believe..in nyack?...they utilized the hallways, and the lobby of the hotel came out gorgeous. Afterwards they and the entire bridal party went to patriot hills and we took pictures out back. They used the ramp with the white railing, the field with th higher grass and they also utilized the golf carts. After the ceremony they took some photos at the ceremony space. If you wanna check it out go to custom by Nicole Facebook page and go through her albums and look for the one that says Shari and Matt. To me they came out beautifully!

thanks for the info. I checked out the photographer. Was really really nice, although I would think they spent a lot for travel (for her). Also, the pics of the comfort inn are really nice too except my fiance doesn't want to see me before the wedding. He mentioned doing some more pics afterwards but I don't wnt to worry about hair and makeup after 6 hours of a wedding. Thanks again for the idea!

One more question on photography, did any of you have digital prints only? And so do you choose and print your own album at a later date? How does tht work/vary from choosing to have the photographer do it? Thanks!!

We only have the digital prints and all pictures printed as proofs. We did not have the photographer make the album because  honestly, it costs thousands of dollars. We still don't have one actually and I've never missed it. I do plan on having one of the websites that will make a professional album for you do it eventually.
