As northern California wedding photographers, we have the unique opportunity to visit and work at many of Northern California's finest wedding venues. Not only do we get to work at these great venues but often times will spend a night or as a guest. This gives us the unique perspective of not only being a guest at some of the most beautiful resorts in Napa Valley and Sonoma but also being someone who sees first hand how these venues function during special events such as a wedding.

Lily Rose Photography has been so fortunate to have not only have photographed at Carneros Resort and Spa but also to have stayed there as a guest. The attention to detail owner Greg Flynn has shown in renovating this property is beyond expectation. Photographing on site provided us with any amazing scenery and beautiful backdrops. The resort is the perfect location for any wedding ceremony. Our stay when not working was extravagant. Lily Rose Photography can highly recommend a stay at Carneros Resort and Spa.
