When you’re one of the lucky ones, you have a family home nestled in vineyards in the heart of the Napa Valley, down a quiet country lane, with sweeping views of the Mayacamas, and lawns and gardens to enjoy. That’s exactly the kind of lucky that Maddie & Jamis are. They’re also humble and grateful […]

Jessica & Will’s wedding, photographed by JPP Associate Jenna, was at one of our favorite ‘hidden-gem’ venues in the wine country – Mont La Salle Christian Brothers Retreat. It’s tucked into the hills just to the east of the town of Napa, nestled into the trees, surrounded by vineyards, and, complete with stunning gardens, old-world […]

My LOVES: I’m the family photographer now! I photographed the bride’s sister Crystal’s wedding too, and got to not only see Crystal and her hubby again, but also see their little kiddo too. xo xo Ramekins is simply a lovely location for a wedding day, through and through – gorgeous gardens, pretty architecture, and lots […]

OUR LOVES: The genuine, loving generosity of these two grooms ❤️ The travel theme throughout – suitcases, globes, airplanes and more to tie in the grooms’ love of travel (of course), and also Brian’s day-job as an airline pilot! (All flawlessly designed by Sharon Burns of Napa Valley Custom Events 👍)  Succulents, more succulents, and pampas […]

I have been SO looking forward to Madisen & Chase’s wedding all year! It seems like not so long ago I met these two cuties when they came to the Napa Valley to search for their perfect wedding venue last summer. They hired me for engagement portraits (#two-birds-one-stone), and when they started listing the wishes […]

I’ll admit – wind has been my constant companion this wedding season. Some years are all about rain, some early hot days, and some are completely random. But this year it’s been wind! So when Amy & Ken’s wedding at Gloria Ferrer began, and a not-so-mild breeze kicked up, I wasn’t surprised. But I’ve learned […]

Tiffany and Blake are that kind of couple you meet and say to yourself “yep, perfect.” When I first met them for their engagement session at their alma matter, Stanford University (where, incidentally, they met while enrolled in the law school there), I remember thinking how lucky we are in life if we can be […]

I can’t even describe how much fun I had photographing Dani & Dan’s wedding at V. Sattui Winery last week! These two are cute in a way that is immediately infectious, and the way they are with each other is even better. We spent the evening of their wedding exploring the winery, taking pics, and […]
