Stanly Ranch, Napa Valley
Thank you so much for taking the time review our work. It feels wonderful to know the planning for grand celebrations are happening! How amazing will it be to gather with loved ones surrounded by the beautiful hills of the Napa Valley at the gorgeous Stanly Ranch. Your family and friends will be so excited to share in your joy! The photos will be filled with life and it will be our pleasure to capture all the love and emotion. We are grateful for your inquiry and would be honored to document this joyous occasion.
As a husband and wife team, we use our 14 years of photography experience along with working side by side together in life to have our photos tell a story of your wedding day. Combined with keen wedding day knowledge, artful eyes, an open approach, a variety of amazing cameras, we strive to express the emotion and feeling of your wedding day in photographs for you to enjoy and share forever.
Along with a rough shooting timeline for a 10 hour day and some beautiful images from our portfolio that represent the experience and emotion we strive to capture, we have put together three packages that we think will work great for you. Knowing everything is still in the early stages of planning, we also have added a la carte options that you can always decide on at a later time.
Please take a look and let us know if we can answer any questions. We are excited to work alongside Rosemary and the team at Rosemary Events to make magic on your wedding day.
Warmly,
Courtney + Erin
Our style is a mix of artful and softly guided moments, quiet candid gestures, fun raw emotions, & beautifully styled details that will give your photos an editorial and timeless feel. We want our photos to make you nostalgic for more when you revisit them through the years.
We strive for the experience to be pure joy and exceedingly exceptional. Our direction is very natural and fun. We use movement to invoke more natural "poses" and to find the fleeting moments that are uniquely yours. With artful intention, we capture not only the organic candids but the scripted beauty with a discerning eye.
We work closely with your planner, to fine tune the timeline surrounding photography to be tailored to what works best with your overall experience. We want you to feel all the memories we capture!

Yes, we do! We use a variety of cameras both film and digital. From toy film cameras, vintage film cameras to the most modern medium format film and digital cameras. We don't give you a specific amount of film we shoot as each wedding differs in timing, lighting and overall feel. So we choose the best camera for that moment to capture it how we feel works best to document that memory and emotion.
We absolutely prefer to have a shot list for all group shots wanted to capture on the wedding day. If there are other unique items or situations that aren't "normal" to a typical wedding day we would love to know about that. However, we prefer not to have an overly large shot list where we feel we need to tick items off a list instead of spending your day naturally capturing it how it unfolds. So the answer is yes and no respectively.
The timeline for photos ranges from 8 to 14 weeks, depending on the timing of the season. We Always get you a 25-50 image sneak peek within 4 weeks of the wedding so you have some to enjoy and share while you wait for the final edit. We do our best stay in touch with you as to when we have your wedding in queue and working on it to give you a confirmed date of delivery.
While each wedding is different with lighting and timing some weddings will get more black & whites then others. On average we deliver 20-30% of the images in black & white. We will shoot some B&W film. Others will be converted to B&W because the lighting may have been mixed or dark, shutter dragged or higher iso used. Other times we use our artistic preference in presenting an image that may feel more photojournalistic or editorial in feeling, with more emotions etc. Often times we deliver the same image in both color and black and white if we feel it is lovely in both.. This is where you trust our art in the final editing.
Erin and Courtney are an absolute joy to work with, and TLDR; we want to be friends with them and can't wait to have a reason to work with them again soon. They have a true talent for creating beautiful photos not only composition-wise, but content-wise. Seamlessly blending candid and posed photographs - we were overjoyed with our photographs and albums.
Their photographic composition is really unique and unparalleled. We had browsed the portfolios of several Bay Area photographers, from San Francisco to Santa Rosa, from Petaluma to Sonoma/Napa...Erin and Courtney's portfolio stood out immediately, so it was quite a quick decision for us.
Preceding our wedding day, we facetimed with them, emailed, etc. They took the time to check out our wedding venue a couple of times to scout photo locations and get a sense for the lighting. They were incredibly responsive as we narrowed down our shot list, which was slightly more complicated, plus they were very patient and gave us good advice as we went through that exercise.
Then, we got to meet them in person.
Both Erin and Courtney have a familiar and personable vibe, which really helped to ease my fears of having "awkward" pictures. It was really amazing to see how much they added to our wedding day (we really liked hanging out with them!). In addition, it was equally amazing to see how fluid and almost invisible (in a good way!!) they were during the ceremony, dinner, and the party.
I highly recommend Erin and Courtney. And as I said before, I can't wait until our paths cross again.

"Bobby and I went through all the photos together on a larger screen on Sunday and then I went through them all again today on my own. One of the things that was most important to me in terms of the wedding was too have good wedding photos. That being said, I honestly never imagined that we would have photos as good as the ones you and Erin gave us. You have completed exceeded my expectations (and hopes!) We will always cherish your work, and I hope you know how much the photos means to us! It's also very special to me to have good photos of my family members, and you captured so many moments!"
"I basically don't want to work and just want to stare at wedding photos :) You and Erin are seriously the best!"
Guys!!!! We love. Honestly -- we love so, so much. So thankful that I found out about you both so many years ago and even more thankful you were able to be there for our wedding!! Thank you so much for making our wedding experience so perfect and for capturing these special moments in such a beautiful way.
Can't wait to call you guys again as our family grows and we need your beautiful work and perspective :) We love you!

"Wow. What an amazing gift!"
OMG OMG OMG.!!!!!!!!
That is our first response when we saw the gallery. THANK YOU, Erin and Courtney, for such beautiful, heart melting photos!
We can't stop looking at them - we're so incredibly satisfied and happy with how our photos turned out.
We teared up when scrolling through - you both captured wonderful moments that we weren't able to see the day of our wedding.
You guys are AMAZING and we can't wait to share our photos and recommend you to everyone we know!
"OMG OMG OMG.!!!!!!!!"
I just wanted to thank you two so much for our wedding photos. We got married a little over two and a half years ago now, and I lost my father this past weekend. Going back through the photos of our wedding has given us so many happy memories to come back to, and so many wonderful pictures we can share with friends and family. My mom keeps telling me she's never seen my dad have so much fun, and it means the world to us to have some pictures of him from that weekend. Thank you again for all the memories.
