Radiant Winter
Napa, ca
I was absolutely thrilled to photograph Liz and David’s timeless celebration at the stunning Stanly Ranch, one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in Napa Valley. As a seasoned Bay Area wedding photographer, Stanly Ranch is one of my favorite places to capture love stories—it combines modern luxury with the natural beauty of wine country in the most effortless way.
Nestled just outside of San Francisco in the heart of Napa, Stanly Ranch offers a picturesque wedding setting surrounded by rolling vineyards, olive groves, and majestic oak trees. On Liz and David’s special day, a soft, romantic rain fell over the ranch, adding a dreamy, ethereal touch to an already magical atmosphere. The gentle mist only enhanced the elegance of the day, creating a serene and cinematic backdrop for their vows.
