6 things that set us apart as Napa Sonoma wedding photographers

Feb 4

At Kreate Photography, we’re all about creating an experience that feels effortless, warm, and deeply personal—from the first inquiry to the final delivery of your wedding gallery.

My team and I know that choosing a Napa wedding photographer is about more than just beautiful photos.

It’s about finding someone who makes you feel comfortable, understood, and completely at ease on one of the biggest days of your life.

Whether you’re having an elegant black tie San Francisco wedding or a whimsical Napa Valley wedding…we’re here for it!

1. A Thoughtful, Seamless Process

From the moment you reach out, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

I help with everything from timelines to lighting and photo priorities, ensuring you feel confident and stress-free.

Communication is always prompt and personal—I want you to feel like you have a trusted friend in your corner, not just another vendor from a list.

As a native to Northern California, I’ve hand picked top tier Napa Valley Wedding photographers on my team if I’m already booked and have a process that our clients love.

2. Building Genuine Connection & Trust (but…really)

I don’t just take photos; I get to know you.

Your story, your dynamic, and what truly matters to you—these are the things that shape how I document your wedding.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and free to be yourselves, so your photos reflect real, genuine moments instead of forced poses.

At the same time, we’re experts. We will guide you through EVERYTHING so you feel at ease and also love the final product (both the memories from it, and the images!!)

3. Accolades & Experience

I didn’t go viral on TikTok, I’ve put the time and energy into mastering my work and how I run the business.

With over 16 years in the wedding photography industry, I’ve had the honor of capturing roughly 595 weddings and engagements.

Starting my journey in 2008, I’ve been privileged to document love stories across various settings and cultures.

Our dedication to excellence has been recognized consistently. We’ve been selected as a winner of The Knot Best of Weddings for 10 consecutive years, from 2014 through 2024, an accolade representing the highest- and most-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples.

Additionally, we’ve been honored with the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards every year since 2014, reflecting our commitment to quality, service, responsiveness, and professionalism.

Our work has also been featured in over 30 magazines and publications, including San Francisco Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Junebug Weddings, Grey Likes Weddings, 100 Layer Cake, BOHO Bride, Venuelust, and Wedding Chicks.

4. A Stress-Free Wedding Day

My team and I have a natural, intuitive approach to weddings. We anticipate moments before they happen, allowing us to capture emotions as they unfold without making you feel like you’re constantly “on” for the camera.

We blend into the background when needed but also step in with just the right guidance to ensure you look and feel amazing. No forced smiles, no awkward poses—just authentic, joy-filled memories.

In a nutshell: we don’t drop a beat, we’re emotionally checked in all day, and we have enough experience under our belt to deal with whatever transpires. We control what we can control and we navigate everything else as it comes :)

5. A Fine-Art Yet Documentary Approach

I create images that are both intentional and emotive—a perfect balance of fine-art storytelling and real, unfiltered images.

Instead of overly trendy edits, I focus on capturing your wedding in a way that will feel timeless and true to you for decades to come.

The big moments, the quiet in-betweens, and everything little detail—I make sure it all lives on in a way that feels intentional and artful.

6. A Luxury Experience From Start to Finish

Your experience with me doesn’t end when the wedding is over. When you receive your wedding gallery, you’re not just getting a collection of images—you’re getting a carefully curated story that brings you right back to the emotions of your day.

I also help guide you through custom albums and print options, ensuring that your memories aren’t just stored on a screen but preserved as heirlooms for generations.

At the end of the day, my biggest goal is to make this entire process as easy, enjoyable, and meaningful as possible for you.

I want you to look back on your wedding photos and not only love how they look but also remember how you felt—completely present, deeply in love, and surrounded by joy.

If that sounds like the experience you’re looking for, I’d love to connect and hear more about your story!
