FAQ
A FEW OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SHOOTING WEDDINGS AT Donovan Manor.
Should we both get ready at Donovan Manor
There is a beautiful bridal suite that will be perfect for getting your hair and makeup done, along with getting dressed in the most beautiful natural light. For your partner, there is plenty of space downstairs, or in the new Ballroom currently, and it can be nice to all be in the same place and not have to worry about traveling throughout the day.
Where do you recommend taking our formal portraits here?
The grounds are beautiful all around, but some of my favorites include the front lawn area and in front of the home, as well as on the staircase. I’m looking forward to the finished gardens and ballroom area as well!
What time should we schedule our ceremony to begin?
It depends on when the sunset is during your date, which I can give you a custom recommendation when you inquire. However, typically around 5:30pm is a good general first guess here. There are things to take into account like if you’d like to do a first look or not that will also be a factor!
What’s the most important factor when it comes to getting great photos?
Besides having a great photographer, I’d say natural light and ample time for photographs are going to be your two biggest factors for gorgeous photographs. That’s why Donovan Manor is one of my top recommended venues. Their team is immaculate, and the landscape is built to prioritize natural light.
