Some of the most memorable Napa and Sonoma weddings happen in places that feel deeply personal. A private estate allows couples to create a celebration that feels completely their own, surrounded by the people they love and the beauty of Wine Country.

This Carneros wedding was a beautiful reflection of everything that makes estate weddings so special. Set among rolling vineyards and the peaceful landscape of the region, the day was filled with thoughtful details, meaningful connections, and the effortless elegance that defines Napa Valley and Sonoma weddings.

Located in the Carneros region of Napa and Sonoma, private estate weddings offer couples a more intimate Wine Country experience with scenic views, personalized details, and the freedom to create a celebration that feels uniquely theirs.

From the anticipation of getting ready to portraits in the golden Carneros light and a joyful evening surrounded by family and friends, every part of the day felt intentional while still leaving space for real moments to unfold.

What I love most about private estate weddings is that the setting becomes part of the story. It is not just a beautiful backdrop, but a place where conversations linger, guests gather close, and memories are created in a way that feels natural.

As a Napa and Sonoma wedding photographer, my approach blends elegant imagery with honest storytelling. I want your photographs to capture not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt: the excitement, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the connection between the people who made the day meaningful.

Lainey & Patrick | Carneros Private Estate Wedding |

On a beautiful day in June, nestled between the rolling hills of Napa and Sonoma, Lainey & Patrick were married next to the vineyards in Carneros. Their daughter Camilla made the most adorable flower girl, the girls wore flower crowns & blush tones, guests dined vineyard side & there was plenty of sun drenched vineyard strolls.

Thanks to Lainey & Patrick for having me capture their day!
