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.
Surprise Proposals
There’s nothing quite like capturing the raw emotion of that once-in-a-lifetime moment. A surprise proposal session lets me discreetly photograph your proposal so you can stay fully in the moment.
From the genuine shock and happy tears to the pure joy that follows, you’ll receive authentic, professional images of one of the most exciting chapters in your love story. These photos make stunning engagement announcements, beautiful additions to your wedding album, and heartfelt keepsakes you’ll treasure forever.
Engagement Photos
These sessions are perfect for save-the-date invites or as signature photos 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.

Yes, as a Sonoma wedding photographer, I serve clients at any location within one hour of Sonoma for no additional fee. This includes all of Sonoma , Napa and Marin counties.
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. 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.
Sonoma Wedding Photographer Jason Guy
My name is Jason Guy, and I’m a Sonoma wedding photographer serving the northern bay area.
While flattering lighting and pose are important, capturing the emotion and authenticity of your wedding day is my ultimate goal.
My approach to capturing your wedding photos is a mix of styles. During natural moments like the ceremony, I stay in the background and shoot candid, photojournalistic photos.
For the formal portraits (group and family shots), I like to offer direction so everyone looks their best. For things like couples portraits and first looks, I’ll often use a blend of planned and candid techniques so everyone looks both authentic and their best.
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!
