Sonoma Wedding Photographer
My name is Jason Guy and I am a Sonoma wedding photographer serving Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties. The wedding photos shown here are the kinds of images you can expect should you decide to book me for your wedding. I use a combination of posed portraiture, planned candid’s and pure photojournalism to capture a good mix of photos. I hope you enjoy!
Wedding Photos You’ll Love Without the Chaos
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming if you don’t have a plan. That’s why I created my wedding day schedule guide. This guide walks you through the major events of a typical wedding with the goal of showing you how to plan for stunning, authentic photos.
When you hire me as your Sonoma wedding photographer, I don’t just show up with a camera. I help you build a plan that ensures we capture the photos you want, without the stress. A solid plan gives everyone clarity on the schedule, frees you up to be more present, and gives you more time with your guests.
Pre-Wedding Services
Looking for portraits that go beyond standard wedding coverage? These pre-wedding sessions are for couples who want to capture more than just the big day. Whether it’s your engagement, a bridal boudoir shoot, or formal portraits in full wedding attire, these sessions are perfect for your wedding invites, freeing up time on your wedding day, and giving him the most intimate gift before you both walk down the isle.
Normally, each session includes a booking fee to cover your shoot and professional makeover. But when you book me as your Sonoma wedding photographer, I waive that fee. There’s no minimum order, and you’re free to purchase only the images you absolutely love—from one session or all of these sessions.
Engagement Photos
These sessions are perfect for save-the-date invites or a signature photo for guests to sign at your reception. More notably though, engagement sessions give you a chance to practice in front of the camera without the pressure of the wedding day.
From experience, I’ve noticed that most couples who do an engagement session tend to feel less anxious about being photographed at their wedding. This is because they’ve already experienced the process and know what to expect. This commonly translates into confidence that shows in the final photos.
Bridal Boudoir
Like most brides, you’ve probably been putting in extra time at the gym to try and look your best in your wedding dress. However, even with all that effort, you probably still haven’t seen yourself at your best angles and under beautiful light. This is the power of a boudoir session.
These photo shoots show you what you actually look like at your best—for the ultimate confidence boost right before your wedding. And as a happy side benefit, you’ll also get to gift him a jaw-dropping boudoir album right before you walk down the aisle.
Formal Wedding Portraits
Formal portraits don’t need to fight for space on your wedding day. By scheduling them on a separate day, we take the pressure off and give ourselves the time to create polished, creative images without the rush.
A lot of my couples love this option because it doubles as a no-stress practice run. You get comfortable in front of the camera ahead of time, which means you’ll feel more relaxed when the big day arrives. And best of all, your wedding day stays focused on what matters most—celebrating with your people.
Sonoma Wedding Photographer Jason Guy
My name is Jason Guy, and I’m a Sonoma wedding photographer serving the Northern Bay Area—including Napa, Sonoma, and Marin counties in California.
While flattering lighting and pose are important, capturing the emotion and authenticity of your wedding day is my ultimate goal. My process for achieving this floats form a photo journalistic (candid) approach during segments such as the ceremony, to heavily directed for formal portraits, and something in between for couples portraits, first looks, etc.
I strongly believe this hybrid approach fosters an environment to get the best wedding photos possible from your day.
If the photos I show on this page and my overall approach resonate with you, I invite you to contact me and I’d love to learn more about the details of your wedding!

Do You Travel Outside Sonoma For Weddings?
Yes, I do. As a Sonoma wedding photographer, I regularly work throughout the surrounding region and am happy to travel to any location within one hour of Sonoma at no additional cost. This includes much of Sonoma County, Napa Valley, and parts of Marin County, making it easy for couples planning weddings across Wine Country.
For weddings beyond that radius, travel and lodging fees may apply. If you’re planning an event farther out or at a destination location, feel free to get in touch for a custom quote—I’m always open to traveling for the right celebration.
How Many Hours of Coverage Do I Need For My Wedding?
The short answer: it depends on the type of wedding you’re planning. As a Sonoma wedding photographer, I’ve seen coverage needs vary widely based on culture, guest count, and the type of coverage you want for your celebration. That said, here’s what I typically see:
Elopements typically start around 4.5 hours
Full weddings with a guest list and reception usually need about 10 to 12 hours
Multi-day celebrations or weddings with cultural traditions may require extended coverage
Most couples find that 10 hours offers the right balance—enough time to capture getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and the celebration that follows. For a more detailed breakdown, check out my Wedding Day Schedule Guide, which can help you decide exactly how much coverage your day may need.
