Auberge du Soleil Wedding Photography | Juliana and Daniel

From the first time I met Daniel and Juliana I adored them. They have this love and affection towards each other that anyone would be jealous of. Whenever Juliana is around Daniel a huge smile comes across her face. This calmness and presence comes over her. Daniel is the kind of person where you instantly feel like one of his closest friends, even family. Their love and affection towards their children and family is one of a kind and reminds me what family is all about.

The first time we met back in March was also the week of Daniel’s birthday. Juliana had a whole birthday week planned out for them, however Daniel had NO idea what he was doing. Daniel returned the favor just a few short months later when they returned to California for their wedding. He called me a few weeks before the wedding and explained that he wanted to get Juliana a camera for her wedding present. I thought this conversation was turning into a Nikon vs Canon debate. But no, I was sooo wrong! Daniel wanted to surprise Juliana with personal photo lessons and a photo safari with me! Tell me that isn’t the sweetest thing EVER! (ok, I might be biased) I surprised Juliana two weeks ago by walking into the same restaurant they were having lunch in! We hung out the rest of the day in taking photos and learning how to use her new camera.

The following week when all of their family was in town they met up to have their rehearsal dinner at Hall Rutherford. Talk about wow factor:

Their wedding the next day was at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford. Surrounded by their family and friends Julina and Daniel promised themselves to one another. The rest of the day was full of food, dancing and a little bit of the sprinkler dance! Jack…. ;)

But wait! There was one more surprise. The honeymoon! Juliana had no idea where they were going, she thinks its in California. OK, inquiring minds want to know! Juliana and Daniel I hope the honeymoon lasts forever and you keep surprising each other for years to come. Thank you for being such amazing people and welcoming me into your lives with open arms.

Juliana, I think you may have modeled in a previous life:

the dashing Daniel. The blue tie matched his eyes perfectly!

One of my other favorite moments of the day. Juliana’s father walked her halfway down the aisle, and her son Jack walked her the remaining half. The look on her fathers face says it all.

Fabulous flowers by Fleurs de France:

I’m sure you are wondering about the frog. Juliana met her prince!

    The bride is beautiful, the groom handsome and the pictures are perfect. However, I may be biased, the bride is my daughter.

    YEA!!! How fun to see these amazing shots, Tiffany! Although, you did have fabulous subjects :-) J, you really did an awesome job picking those ties/suits (it took forever, but worth it), as Daniel’s eyes really do POP! I LOVE the photo of Juliana in front of the train!!! Juliana looks STUNNING!!! I must say, though, who was the person behind the veil in the barn photo shoot—ha ha ha! Love you both!!!

  63. I met Juliana and Daniel when they came in to order thier wedding invitations. What charmers; so in love and well suited. We printed their invitations to the wedding and rehearsal, the placecards and message cards,their wedding programs and their thank you notes. With each item Juliana and Daniel expressed thoughtful planning and joy. We love the pictures and found great pleasure in seeing what was planned with such care come to reality.
    The beautiful photos tell the story.Thanks for letting us be a small part.
