Estate at Yountville Wedding

I cant think of a more iconic backdrop than the Estate at Yountville Wedding venue. When choosing their engagement session location, Nicole and Justin wanted something that had a modern, architectural feel. Typically at this time of year photography session backdrops consists of wineries or brown open fields. It was so refreshing they wanted something different and unique to their style.

The grounds at Estate at Yountville are perfectly manicured, the lines are crisp and clean of the architecture. The vines nearby were turning slightly fall colored. The hotel is surrounded by the best little shops, bakeries and restaurants.  If you are visiting Yountville you must stop by Bouchon Bakery but beware you will most likely be waiting in a long line. Worth every minute of wait.

We started their engagement session at the pavilion area of Estate at Yountville as the red brick paired perfectly with their classic black and white outfits. We then walked over to the patio entrance where the restaurants and shops were for a few walking photos. The Social event venue space was my favorite of the entire Estate as it was this beautifully modern barn with black trimmed windows. We obviously had to take some images there as well.

Although we didn’t get much of a sunset we managed to get some gorgeous soft light for their vineyard shots.

Can not wait for these two to get married next year. They are so very adorable together and I instantly clicked with them. Congratulations to Nicole and Justan!
