Hempstead House at Sands Point Preserve
Wedding venue in Sands Point, NY
Wedding venue in Sands Point, NY

A Tudor-style Gilded Age mansion built for Howard Gould and later owned by the Guggenheim family, set inside Sands Point Preserve above Long Island Sound. The preserve's lawns, woods and shoreline are right outside.
Water changes the light. We plan couple portraits for the last hour before sunset where the schedule allows, and keep an eye on wind for anything near the shoreline.
Gardens change week to week. We check what is in bloom close to your date and plan portraits around the best of it.
