Weddings at Bourne Mansion — North Fork Wedding Films

Bourne Mansion is a grand estate wedding venue in Oakdale, on Long Island. Our team at North Fork Wedding Films filmed and photographed Laura and Jeff's wedding at the mansion — the film above and the photographs below are all from their day at Bourne.

The house itself does a lot of the work. There is the grand approach up to the mansion front, the white colonnade and brickwork, the tall French doors, and the courtyard and fountain out back. Portraits move naturally from one space to the next: the couple in front of the mansion, the bride at the colonnade, the two of them at the French doors and in the courtyard. Inside, the bar and the mansion rooms give the evening a different look from the grounds.

For a wedding film, that range matters. One location holds the whole story — preparations, portraits, and the celebration — with the architecture carrying through every frame. For photography, the columns, the doors, and the fountain light keep giving you new backdrops without ever leaving the property.
