Hands down, the bridal suite at Gadsden House is my FAVORITE place to photograph brides getting ready on their wedding day! The bridal suite on the third floor is light + bright, which is amazing for both your hair + makeup team, as well as your photographer! I usually recommend having the groom + groomsmen arrive at the venue before the First Look and finish getting ready downstairs for a cohesive look in your full gallery of images.

some suggestions for having your wedding at gadsden house:

01

The best place for your wedding ceremony at Gadsden House is against the wall of boxwoods, where I would be shooting towards the parking lot.  The sun sets in that direction, so the lighting is soft + beautiful there, enabling me to create light + bright images.

Dining al fresco on the oyster tabby at the Gadsden House is definitely a fun experience, but the inside of the house is great for seated meals or stations - especially in the summer when it can be pretty hot outside!  Dancing the night away under the stars, or underneath a beautiful tent, on the oyster tabby patio will be memorable for everyone.
