Kendra + Raymond

I LOVE shooting proposals at The French Laundry‘s Gardens in Yountville, California. It’s probably one of my favorite proposal spots in Napa Valley, so when Raymond reached out to me and told me they were visiting the Napa Valley for Kendra’s birthday and reservations at The French Laundry and he wanted to pop the question at The French Laundry Gardens across the street, I was obviously SO excited!

When you book a proposal with me, I always go to the spot beforehand and I’ll send you a video with a game plan so you know where you should be and where I will be. This is especially helpful for those who are coming from out of state or aren’t close to Napa – my goal is to make everything as simple as possible for you! So on the day of, I was in place and it went perfectly!

Raymond also booked a session along with the proposal but because their reservation at The French Laundry was right after the proposal, we scheduled it for the following morning. I sent them a pin for a spot to meet at and we drove down the street and took some photos along some beautiful olive trees and in the vineyards before heading to Artesa Winery for more photos.

It was all around such a beautiful time despite the smokey sky from all the fires. I can’t wait to see where life takes these two!
