Napa & Sonoma Wedding and Proposal Photography

Weddings

Photographing weddings is more than just a job—it’s a privilege. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. I believe every couple deserves wedding photography that not only documents the details but also captures the essence of their unique love story. From the quiet, emotional moments before you walk down the aisle to the joyful celebration on the dance floor, my goal is to preserve these memories so you can relive them for years to come. Timeless, heartfelt wedding photography for celebrations throughout Napa, Sonoma and Northern California. I’ll gently guide you through portraits while documenting the genuine emotions, thoughtful details and joyful moments that make your day yours.

Families

Photographing families is at the heart of what I love about photography. Family is where life begins and love never ends. From the smallest giggles to the warmest embraces, these moments are fleeting, and my goal is to create timeless images that tell your family’s story for generations to come.

Seniors

Why I Photograph High School Seniors in Sonoma County: Celebrating Milestones with Timeless Portraits Photographing high school seniors is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Senior year is a milestone filled with anticipation, growth, and excitement for the future. These portraits mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, and my goal is to create images that seniors and their families will cherish for a lifetime. Sonoma County provides the perfect blend of natural beauty and personal charm, making each session truly unique.

Proposals

Why I Photograph Proposals: Capturing the Magic of “Yes” Photographing proposals is one of the most exhilarating and heartfelt experiences in my work. A proposal is the start of a beautiful new chapter, filled with raw emotions and unforgettable joy. I believe every couple deserves proposal photography that captures the magic of the moment. From choosing the location to planning the timing, I’ll help you create and photograph a surprise proposal that feels personal, seamless and unforgettable.
