Golden hour and a bottle of bubbly.

Napa Valley · California

Vineyard rows at golden hour.

Sam and Lauren did their engagement session in Napa Valley, right in the vineyard rows as the sun went down.

We walked the vines, found an old stone tower, wandered into a field of flowers and finished the night by popping a bottle of champagne.

Into the vineyard rows.

We started in the vines with the sun low and warm behind them. Long rows, gold leaves and light that turns everything a little softer. All they had to do was walk.

An old stone tower.

Out in the middle of the vineyard was an old stone tower. Rough stone, tall walls and the two of them in white. It gave the session a totally different look for a few minutes.

A field of flowers.

Right next to the vines was a field of flowers, so we wandered into it. Green leaves, pink blooms and a lot of laughing.

Then we popped the bottle.

We ended the night with a bottle of champagne in the vineyard. Pop, spray, laughing. If you are going to do an engagement session in Napa, you might as well celebrate like it.
