Our History at Flint Hill
For 12 years, Mike Moon Studio was one of the preferred photographers at Flint Hill.
Over that time our team photographed more than 70 weddings there. Spring weddings and winter ones. Sunny summer afternoons and gray overcast ones. Fall weddings with soft light on the porch. Quiet first looks in the garden and big, loud dance floors at the end of the night.
When you photograph a venue that many times, you stop guessing. You know where the mansion looks best, where the hydrangeas bloom and how to move a wedding party between the gardens and the gazebo.
That experience is what this guide is about.
What Flint Hill Feels Like on a Wedding Day
A White-Columned Mansion and Its Gardens
Flint Hill is built around a white-columned mansion that dates to 1835 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Around it are gardens, a brick walk and a white gazebo, and the venue hosts up to 250 guests.
The mansion gives you a grand backdrop for portraits, and the gardens give you quiet, green corners just a few steps away.
Because the spaces are close together, you can move from getting ready to first look to ceremony without losing the feel of the day.
How the Day Usually Flows
Every wedding is different, but most of the Flint Hill weddings we’ve photographed follow a similar rhythm.
Getting ready. The bridal suite and the groom’s suite are where the day begins. We’ve photographed gowns hanging in the suite, groomsmen getting ready together and bridesmaids in matching robes.
First look. We’ve photographed first looks on the front porch steps, in the garden and with family.
Ceremony. We’ve photographed ceremonies in the garden under string lights and at the white gazebo, including a traditional South Asian ceremony with a sacred fire and flower garlands.
Portraits. The mansion, the hydrangea gardens, the porch columns and the garden archway all work as backdrops.
Evening. We’ve photographed a live band at cocktail hour, a packed dance floor, a dance under the lit gazebo and a sparkler send-off.
Our Favorite Photo Spots at Flint Hill
The white-columned mansion. Wide portraits with the whole house in the frame show off the venue and your dress, and a long veil looks wonderful against it.
The hydrangea gardens. Blue hydrangeas make a colorful, natural backdrop for couple portraits.
The porch and its columns. A classic spot for a first look and for portraits between the columns.
The garden archway and the brick walk. Quiet corners for a few minutes alone as a couple.
The white gazebo. A ceremony site by day and, lit up, a beautiful backdrop for dancing at night.
Flint Hill Through the Seasons
We’ve photographed Flint Hill in every season, so there’s no wrong time to book it.
Summer weddings bring green gardens and blue hydrangeas, and fall brings soft light on the porch. If the weather turns, the venue’s covered pavilion and ballroom keep the day moving.
And don’t worry about clouds. Some of our favorite Flint Hill galleries were shot on overcast days, when the light on the mansion and in the gardens is soft and even.
Booking Mike Moon Studio at Flint Hill
Flint Hill now offers its own in-house photographers, and that’s a convenient option for many couples.
If you’d love to have the team that has photographed 70+ weddings here, you can still book us directly, and there’s no fee for bringing an outside photographer. Just reach out with your date, and we’ll take it from there.
We loved our 12 years as a preferred vendor at Flint Hill, and we still love photographing weddings there.
