FAMILY FORMALS
Depending on the lighting, we normally suggest to do family photos where your ceremony is. That way we can capture your beautiful decor.
TIP: We cant to capture as many photos of the couple as possible. If you don't do a first look, we suggest taking photos of your extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) during the reception so we can make sure we have enough time for photos of the newlyweds during cocktail hour.
YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION
The Pines won't only give you a beautiful wedding day, but it's the perfect venue to keep the party going all night long.
THE UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS RECEPTION ROOMS
Both of these rooms are perfect for a large or small reception. You can design the room and make it what you want. We love the way the light reflects off the windows. The lower reception area has an amazing rustic door that is perfect for dress hanging as well as entrances into your party. TIP: Uplighting can completely transform a room. We always recommend adding this to give your space a more party-like atmosphere.

“Hiring Casey and Alex was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were so exceptionally friendly and were always willing to answer questions and provide advice. On our wedding day, they helped make us feel comfortable during all of our photos and were constantly asking if there were specific pictures/poses we wanted, so they could capture those. Both Casey and Alex were great at arranging the large group photos, and throughout everything, they stayed happy and helpful!"
