Where we shoot, on a map
Auberge resort on 712 vineyard-and-orchard acres on Napa's southern edge.
Auberge resort on 712 vineyard-and-orchard acres on Napa's southern edge. Stone cottages, a working farm, hilltop vineyard rows. Wine-country wedding venue with private grounds — bookings come with location access. For sessions, the setting works best when there's a clear plan: which light, which path in, what the weather is doing. Chris's note on this location is in the field below — every destination here gets a real, photographer-tested read rather than a glossy travel description.

Getting here
A few things about Stanly Ranch
Parking is on-property and close to the photo locations.
Dogs typically not permitted — confirm before bringing.
Sheltered enough that most-weather sessions work; check the venue's bad-weather policy on confirmation.
Photography permit required — book through the venue. Chris handles this for clients.
