I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

Ivory & Sage Weddings was an incredible month of wedding planning team to work with. Maeghan was very responsive and she was always open to communicate on any questions we had! They were reliable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. Holly and Maeghan were the ones who were there on our wedding day, and we are very happy with our experience. Holly was very quick to get everything started the day of, she jumped right in and handled everything that needed to be done. Maeghan was the owner who I had been in contact with since the beginning. Maeghan is very helpful, well honestly them both! Maeghan knew what she was doing and what she needed to do for us to have a smooth day! They knew how to quickly fix any issues that came up, and were very responsive on the issues that came up, not letting my husband or I stress, even though we are both very type A. Ivory & Sage Weddings truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We are forever thankful for Maeghan and Holly!!

Hey, I'm Annie. I'm a film + digital wedding photographer based in Texas. I do this for the generations to come. For the little girls, just as I once was, sitting on the carpet flipping through their grandma's and mothers wedding photos and dreaming of a love story such as theirs. I take a documentary meet's editorial approach. Leaving space for emotions to evolve when the moment calls and stepping in to gently guide when needed. No two weddings should ever look like they could belong to anyone but the couple themselves and I stand by that. This truly is my creative passion.

If I could give 10 stars, I would to this venue. Michael and Pam are wonderful, kind people. I was planning my wedding from out of state and Chef Pam met with my mom and spoke to me frequently to help us with any decisions. I was able to pick out all the linens, china, food, areas, and decor with Chef Pam. She helped me find other vendors that were familiar with her setup. The venue itself was beautiful! It is sweet southern charm at its best. There is a grooms cottage, a bridal suite, and a honeymoon cottage and other cottage. Everything has so much care put into it. The day of, it rained but they already had the plan in place and let me be in the driver's seat (with invaluable input from Chef Pam). The ceremony was easily moved inside by her team and was gorgeous. Her food is EXCEPTIONAL! With Chef Pam, I did not need a full wedding coordinator - she handled so much for us. I hired a day of just for my behind the scenes stuff, but Chef Pam ran the whole thing from my perspective and made my day about my husband, me and the wedding. I could not have imagined it being any better. I also could go on for another 5 pages.

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

We absolutely LOVE when Breana photographs weddings at Sunset Oaks. She’s kind, fun, and makes her clients feel so comfortable and honored. Her work is absolutely stunning, and her turnaround times are accurate. Highly recommend!!

We cannot say enough good things about Amanda! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she’s also one of the kindest, most professional, and flexible people we had the pleasure of working with. Amanda did both our engagement and wedding photos, and she completely blew us away both times. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and she went above and beyond in ways that we didn’t expect but appreciated more than words can express. As the bride, I especially felt her support throughout the day. She stepped up in moments when I needed an extra hand, even though it wasn’t in her job description, and that meant so much to me. She truly captured my vision perfectly, it honestly felt like she brought my entire Pinterest board to life! Every photo reflects the aesthetic and emotion I had dreamed of and seeing it all come together so beautifully still brings me to tears. Her eye for capturing genuine, emotional, and joyful moments is unmatched. We’re so thankful she was the one behind the lens on our big day, and we will treasure these memories forever. Without a doubt, we plan to continue working with Amanda in the future to capture all of life’s biggest milestones.

My name is Nicole Creech, and I am so happy you’re here! I love planning and decorating anything and everything. Every moment deserves a celebration, and I am here to help! One thing I love most about planning is getting into the special details that make it “you” and creating moments you’ll remember forever! I carefully curate to each individual so that everything feels intentional. My superpower is being very thoughtful in my planning and turning even the smallest detail into something meaningful.

It has been such a joy to watch Nicole transition into event planning and see her passion for this new chapter in her life truly shine. What I love most about seeing her do this is the way she treats every single detail as if it were for her own family; she isn't just planning an event, she’s curated a meaningful experience. She brings a sense of peace to what can be a whirlwind of a time, handling every logistical detail with such grace that the couple is free to just be together. Anyone would want to work with Nicole because she has that rare combination of calm, collected energy and meticulous organization. Her creativity is endless, but it’s the heart behind her work that truly stands out. She will treat every wedding as a sacred trust, ensuring that the day isn't just perfect on the outside, but filled with genuine warmth and meaning. If you want someone who is as invested in your day as you are, she is the one you want by your side.

Couples who value memories, who love timeless light & airy imagery & a photographer that puts your priorities first, whether that's making sure you get to read your private vows to each other or getting that one picture of your grandmother's pendant on your bouquet. I’m about you, all about you on your wedding day.

Arlene was so much fun to work with. She put a lot of thought into the photos she was taking and did an amazing job capturing our special day for us. We are in love with our beautiful photos. Thank you, Arlene!

Welcome. In 2019 Robbie, Jim and Brandy sat around a patio table jotting down ideas for a venue they had talked about for years. That began the year-long journey to build the venue that they envisioned. Opening in the middle of a pandemic was a setback but Hidden Pines has survived and is ready to host weddings, proms, baby showers, and more! We wanted to have a venue that allowed our clientele to enjoy the hundreds of acreage surrounding the venue. From the moment you turn on the cedar-lined road to the venue you are surrounded by beautiful East Texas panoramic scenery until you arrive at the venue tucked away back in the pines of Mineola, Texas.

  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Unique barn setting

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible

We had our wedding at Hidden Pines Venue and couldn't be happier with our choice. The team was responsive throughout the planning process and quick to address any questions that came up along the way. Thank you as well too Miss Ashley for all the help cleanup on the day of our wedding. The venue itself is stunning, with gorgeous grounds that made for beautiful photos and a scenic backdrop for our ceremony. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. We'd absolutely recommend Hidden Pines to any couple looking for a beautiful space and a staff that genuinely cares about making your day special.

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam & Kyle have been such a joy to get to watch work with other couples. Having a husband and wife team is special to begin with, but Sam and Kyle especially have a way of making couples feel comfortable and in charge of their wedding days without being distracting. These two are absolute gems as humans beings, but their technical skills in photography just take the experience to a whole new level. Sam and Kyle pour their hearts and souls into helping couples plan every portion of their day as well as into every ounce of hand-editing they do to each couple's gallery. The Dropped Pin offers a truly invaluable experience that every couple deserves on their wedding day. If I had my wedding day to do all over again, these two would no doubt be my photographers, my planning guides, and my support system on the most important day of my life.
