A Romantic Wine Country Wedding in Sonoma


Lindsey and Zach’s wedding at The Barns at Harrow Cellars was everything you’d want from a Sonoma wine country celebration — stunning scenery, incredible people, and a day filled with effortless joy. As a second shooter for Samantha Elizabeth Creative, I had the chance to capture all those in-between moments that make a wedding feel real. It was a dream to capture this documentary style wedding at this stunning location in Sonoma.

The Magic of Documentary Style Wedding Photography


What I love most about this style of photography is how it lets the day unfold naturally. Sure, the big moments are important, but it’s the unscripted ones that truly tell the story of the day. The way Lindsey and Zach’s hands instinctively found each other, the laughter between the guests and the quiet moments in between it all make the day uniquely it's own. The Barns at Harrow Cellars is the perfect backdrop for this approach. It’s a space you can make entirely your own, with its rustic charm, rolling vineyard views, and that intimate feel that makes everyone feel at home.
