When it comes to capturing the most luxurious and elegant weddings, I consider it a privilege to bring my experience and passion to every celebration. With over 15 years of photographing nearly 500 weddings, I’ve had the honor of working with discerning clients from around the world. One of my favorite venues to photograph is the breathtaking Auberge du Soleil, where I’ve had the opportunity to capture over 30 unforgettable weddings.
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Auberge du Soleil is a world-renowned resort and spa, offering a picturesque blend of rolling hills and lush vineyards. It’s the perfect canvas for wedding photography, providing an exquisite backdrop for timeless and elegant images.
My approach to photography is bespoke and tailored to each couple. At a venue as luxurious as Auberge du Soleil, I focus on capturing the romance, joy, and emotional moments that define your day. My signature style is romantic, captivating, and elegant, preserving the unique story of every couple I work with. From the tender glances to the grand celebrations, every image reflects the authentic emotions of the moment.
I’m a firm believer in an unobtrusive photojournalist style. While I ensure those classic, frame-worthy portraits are beautifully composed, some of the most treasured images are the candid, unscripted moments. I blend into the background, allowing your day to unfold naturally while capturing every laugh, tear, and joyful embrace. Having worked at Auberge du Soleil extensively, I know the best lighting, angles, and scenic spots to create images that stand the test of time.
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, Auberge du Soleil offers a variety of luxurious spaces tailored to your vision. From the sunlit terraces to the elegant indoor settings, every corner of the resort provides a stunning scene for your wedding photography.
My ultimate goal is to create a seamless and personalized experience for each of my clients. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your photographs, I’m dedicated to capturing the essence of your love story with exceptional artistry. If you’re dreaming of a luxury wedding at Auberge du Soleil and are looking for a photographer who will preserve those memories with care and passion, I would be honored to be part of your day.
Here are a handful of my favorite moments from one of the incredible weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing at Auberge du Soleil. Enjoy.
