PHOTOGRAPHY AT HIDDEN PINES
We encourage our customers to snap pictures of their experience at Hidden Pines to remember this special event. We offer several photo opportunity areas for this purpose. We also receive requests from professional and amateur photographers wishing to book our property for family holiday photo sessions. We allow these sessions at the farm at certain times keeping in mind that our first priority is providing a great experience for our choose and cut tree customers. |
