Sebastiani Winery stands on the first vineyard in Sonoma Valley, originally planted in 1825, and is a designated California Historical Landmark.


Kreps Co engaged me to capture the spirit of the estate through photo and video — a lifestyle shoot built around the moments where wine becomes part of life: a picnic on the grounds, a table mid-meal, hands pouring, passing, and pausing.



The historic architecture and vineyard views frame the story, but the focus stays on the lived-in details — texture, light, and movement captured as they naturally unfolded. The resulting imagery is warm and unhurried, designed for use across social, PR, and brand communication.
