I booked a recent excursion to Mebane, NC (PLEASE don’t pronounce it Mee-bane) to photograph Tia’s bridal portrait at The Pine Lake Pavilion. She will be having her wedding there this year and wanted to have some photographs taken on the grounds. It was raining on and off during our entire session but Tia was a good sport. Since the weather wasn’t cooperating with us I saw it as a perfect oppotunity to shoot a portion of the session in the forest nearby. It worked out quite well that way because the path and the trees near the pavilion are quite beautiful.
The Pine Lake Pavilion is an events facility that hosts a large variety of events throughout the year including wedding ceremonies, social gatherings, or larger corporate events. The 4,800 square foot pavilion structure is highly versatile, in that it can be transformed into a most elegant cocktail party or reception site. Pine Lake itself is seven acres wide and is surrounded by over one hundred acres of wide open spaces and wooded areas.


This was my favorite portrait of Tia by far… natural… radiant… beautiful!



I liked this shot too… Just a little attitude. :)




Tia’s mother-in-law and friend were awesome at helping us move across the expansive grounds quickly.





Like water off a ducks back… They didn’t seem to mind the weather!

Here’s the main tent at The Pine Lake Pavilion

… and here is a wide shot of the rest of the grounds.
