Lake & Pine Collective is a wedding photography and videography team based in the Reno-Tahoe area, serving couples across Northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and beyond.

We’re three full-time photographers — Chava, Isma, and Juan — who came together to build something different: a true collective where every wedding is covered by the entire team. No solo shooters with assistants. No rotating freelancers meeting your wedding party for the first time. Just three experienced photographers who know each other, trust each other, and shoot in sync.

Our story.
Each of us brings something specific to the team. Chava has 10+ years behind the lens and shoots both photo and video fluidly. Isma is the photographer of the group with 8+ years and an editorial eye for the in-between moments most people miss. Juan is the cinematographer with 5+ years focused on a clean, cinematic film style that holds up years later. We’re all bilingual in English and Spanish.

Our approach.
We believe the best wedding stories are told from every angle — by people who actually shoot together. While most photo and video teams work as separate vendors, our collective handles both as one unified team. That means more coverage of every key moment, multiple perspectives on your ceremony and reception, and a final gallery and film that feel made to match. Our work is documentary-driven, editorial in tone, and focused on real emotion rather than over-staged poses.

What we offer.
Three packages designed for different kinds of weddings — from intimate gatherings to all-day full-experience celebrations. Every package includes our full collective on the day, pre-wedding planning calls, and an online gallery with download rights and print release. Higher tiers add an engagement session, multi-angle documentary films, highlight reels, drone coverage, social-ready cuts, and sneak peeks.

Where we work.
Based in Reno and shooting regularly across Lake Tahoe (North and South Shore), Truckee, Carson City, Minden, Genoa, the Sierra Nevada, Sacramento, and Mammoth. We travel for destination weddings.

Why couples book us. If you want a single team that handles photo and film together, with the language flexibility to support bilingual families, the experience to handle whatever the day brings, and the editorial eye to deliver a gallery and film you’ll come back to for years — we’d love to talk.
