"This was the first venue I showed my husband and we both knew upon entering that this would be the place. The property is massive, beautifully lit for a summer evening and the perfect amount of romantic. We stayed overnight and each room is uniquely designed and decorated, all of our guests loved it!"

With a magnificent, authentic, old world opulence on a riverfront setting, the Grand Island Mansion is a gorgeous venue for your very special "I do".
The venue includes a shaded wrought iron gazebo for warm weather ceremonies, as well as an elegant ballroom for Winter wedding ceremonies.
The Grand Island Mansion also offers a mansion event coordinated, rehearsal time, bride and groom dressing rooms, and the set up and breakdown of garden chairs, for your convenience.
Every venue is unique, some come equipped with their own getting-ready space. We recommend choosing the perfect getting-ready area based on the the look of the space. Whether it's a dedicated room or a plain space, our focus is always on selecting locations with the best lighting and surroundings to enhance your photography experience.
Rest assured, we take care of organizing suitable spots for your family photos in advance. We consider factors such as lighting, time of year, the size of your family portraits, your wedding style, and any accessibility needs to ensure a seamless and enjoyable day for everyone.
We wholeheartedly welcome you to explore our past work from various venues. Simply let us know, and we'll gladly provide you with complete galleries showcasing weddings from start to finish. We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident in our ability to capture your special day.
Sunset photos are truly magical and add a romantic touch to your wedding album. We always recommend setting aside 10-15 minutes to capture these enchanting moments when the light is golden and captivating. We'll carefully select the perfect time and location for you to enjoy this memorable experience.
For couples portraits, we typically request 20-30 minutes of your time. The more time we have, the more photos we can capture, and the more breathtaking the results. This is also an opportunity for you to relax, bask in the glow of being newlyweds, and allow us to capture the essence of your love. We advise setting aside at least 30 minutes to ensure Olin can create exquisite artistic portraits of the two of you.
Rest assured, we take the responsibility of selecting the right spots for your couple portraits seriously. We consider factors such as the time of day, sunlight, time of year, and your unique style. You can trust that we will have all the selections made in advance, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy your day. We are passionate about our craft and possess a keen eye for creativity, ensuring your photos are truly exceptional.
