Napa, CA Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Coastline, vineyards, redwoods, and city rooftops — Napa gives a wedding every backdrop in one day.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Napa

Shooting in and around Napa means marine layers that turn into perfect soft light, sunsets that demand a second portrait session, and venues from cliffside lawns to warehouse lofts. We plan for the fog and celebrate when it lifts.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Napa surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Napa

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Napa than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:34 PM and golden hour opens around 7:54 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:31 PM — a swing of 2 hours 3 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Napa ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Napa

These are the Napa venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Napa ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Napa, CA?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Napa wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Napa as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Napa before?

Not every venue in Napa, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
