Venue Spotlight: The Pinery

If you’re searching for an Orlando wedding venue that feels both intimate and luxuriously warm, The Pinery Events should be at the top of your list. Tucked into the rolling hills of Howey-in-the-Hills, The Pinery is a Central Florida gem that offers romantic waterfront views, lush tropical plantings, and thoughtful, modern architecture—perfect for couples who want a day that feels elevated, relaxed, and utterly theirs. As an Orlando wedding photographer who frequently shoots across Central Florida, I can’t recommend it enough.

A Intimate Venue with Timeless Tropical Vibes

One of the first things you notice at The Pinery Events in Howey-in-the-Hills is how naturally the space feels like an extension of the landscape. The trees, the palms, the tropical gardens, and the soft Florida light combine to create a setting that’s romantic and refined without ever feeling stiff. It’s an ideal backdrop for couples who want their wedding to have both a sense of intimacy and an air of quiet luxury—an elegant, tropical retreat that’s still wonderfully accessible for guests traveling from Orlando and beyond.

Portrait Opportunities That Photographers (and Couples) Love

As an Orlando wedding photographer, variety in portrait locations is everything—and The Pinery delivers. From soft light in the tree top ceremony space to intimate nooks framed by lush foliage, the venue offers a beautiful range of settings that help tell a complete wedding-day story. The abundant natural light make for chic editorial-style photos and the endless pockets of light for candid moments and romantic portraits. The result? A wedding gallery that feels cohesive, naturally beautiful, and full of movement and a story to tell.

A Truly Personal Touch

What sets The Pinery apart is the hands-on care couples receive from the owners, Jeremy and Christina. They’re deeply invested in making each wedding feel custom, personal, and unique from the moment you book to the last dance. Jeremy and Christina support couple’s creative visions rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. That level of ownership and heart makes the venue not just beautiful, but genuinely welcoming and joyful to plan at.

Matt & Rachel’s Wedding at The Pinery

Photographing Matt and Rachel’s wedding at The Pinery was such an honor. Not only to capture their love story, but also to witness such a heartfelt, genuine celebration. It was the last wedding I photographed before heading into maternity leave at 33 weeks pregnant, and even on their big day, Matt and Rachel went out of their way to make sure I was cared for. That generosity speaks volumes about who they are. By the end of the night, I truly felt like part of their close-knit circle of family and friends, and it was such a joy to document the love of two of the kindest people; so clearly deeply in love, and so perfectly at home in each other’s presence.

Why The Pinery Works for Central Florida Couples

If you’re planning a wedding in Central Florida and want a venue that checks all the boxes: stunning landscapes, thoughtful design, and a team that treats your day as though it were their own, The Pinery Events should be a top contender. It’s close enough to Orlando for convenience, but it feels like a private escape; perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel intimate without sacrificing style or amenities.

From Your Orlando Wedding Photographer

Your venue sets the tone for your entire wedding gallery, and The Pinery gives photographers plenty to work with: natural light, varied portrait spots, and scenes that let emotion and movement shine. Jeremy and Christina’s hands-on, personal approach makes the planning process feel collaborative and genuine, which always translates into calmer, more authentic photos on the day.

Matt and Rachel’s wedding showed exactly how The Pinery can hold both delicate, intimate moments and joyful, celebratory energy in the same day. I’m so excited to be headed back to the Pinery a number of times in 2026 to capture more stunning love stories. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels timeless, tropical, and deeply personal, I’d love to talk about photographing your day at The Pinery or anywhere in Central Florida.

Because at the end of the day, my goal as an Orlando wedding photographer is to give you a gallery that doesn’t just document your wedding, but makes you relive it again and again.
