Kari and Shawn Wente Vineyards
Kari and Shawn are the most wonderful couple who got married at the Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA. I had the pleasure of recieving their inquiry. At that time, I was still advertising on TheKnot.com so the found me through that wedding web site. I made the numbers work for them which resulted in us commencing to do business with one another. Here are some of the fantastic wedding photos I took at Kari and Shawn’s wedding.
Please note that I like as much natural light as possible. I take a more ‘ORGANIC’ approach with my wedding photography.














































































Auberge Du Soleil Wedding Photography
I got hired to be the wedding photographer for a wedding at the Auberge Du Soleil in Napa Valley.
Napa Valley is stunning enough but when you get the Auberge you are even more stunned as the view from the Balcony is nothing short of incredible.

This wedding was actually from a few years back. I was surprised to find it wasn’t on my blog. I think it got lost in the conversion when I switched servers a couple years ago.

I really enjoyed this bride. She was up for almost anything and instructed me to get as EDGY wedding photography as possible. I like it when a Bride trusts her wedding photographer enough to give him full creative license. Hence shots like below.


The kids DESTROYED the designated ‘kids room’. A wedding should always have a ‘kids room’ especially if the wedding is more lavish and high end and held at a place like the Auberge.
Pictures [among other things] were falling off the wall.


I actually got a whole host of different styles of wedding photography at this wedding. What I have shown you here barely touches the tip of the ice-berg in terms of what I acheive time and time again, without FAIL on EVERY SHOOT!

I think if you are looking for pictures of a wedding at Auberge Du Soleil than my blog is a great place to start! Here’s a link to some more wedding photos taken at the Auberge Du Soleil Napa Valley.
Special Thanks to all the other wedding vendors that helped make this date a success!

Here are some sample wedding album magazine style digital design from a wedding I photographed back in 2004. So the designs actually don’t reflect my current design style. You can click here to see some of my current designs. I just thought it pertinent as I have a Wente Vineyards Category here on my wedding photography blog. I’m attempting to catalog all of the weddings I have shot through this weblog.



This was the wedding of Belle & Perry. They were a great couple and I became very fond of both Belle and Perry. She was a very demanding but also generous bride. I’m sure that by now they have kids and all of that. I truly wish I could keep in better contact with some of the clients I have grown to know and love through the years.
