THE de jaureguis
COURTNEY & ERIN DE JAUREGUI
As a husband and wife team we have photographed over 270 weddings, and have taken more than one million photos in over 15 years. Every wedding we document has a moment that sticks with us as your experience is lived through us as well.. We become attached to our photographs in a different ways and often use your wedding as a marker of time in our own life together.
We strive for our photos to bring joy and invoke nostalgia. We want our photography to showcase the organic feeling you experience on your wedding day but enhanced with our visual eye. By inserting softly guided directed moments with artful intention or approaching a gesture with a bit of abstract editorial edge, we quietly elevate the understated while holding a deep value for the well refined classic vibe. Your gallery will also be filled with the authentic raw emotions as they unfold, the simplicity of cherished memories, blissful happy accidents, and important VIPs. Our goal as photographers is for your experience to be exceptional so your photos are a direct representation of you and your love.
Our portfolio is filled with a selection of our favorite images from 15 years of weddings that we lived and are incredibly proud of.
CHIC WEDDING AT STANLY RANCH
A modern celebration at the beautiful Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley. The laid-back luxury of this joyful celebration where the Glass room was transformed to feel like a chic restaurant with jewel tone florals and dripping candles. Along with witnessing so much love, guests experienced the art of fine cuisine, custom cocktails, amazing toasts, and a night of joyful dancing.
PRIVATE ESTATE 4 DAY wedding CELEBRATION
This perfectly gorgeous four day gathering was pure bliss to document. From thursday to sunday this couple found joy and love with friends and family travelling from all over the world to celebrate their deep love in the Napa Valley. Filled with garden vibes of soft pastels to bright colorful florals this whole weekend was a stunning fête with nonstop fun.
"Bobby and I went through all the photos together on a larger screen on Sunday and then I went through them all again today on my own. One of the things that was most important to me in terms of the wedding was too have good wedding photos. That being said, I honestly never imagined that we would have photos as good as the ones you and Erin gave us. You have completed exceeded my expectations (and hopes!) We will always cherish your work, and I hope you know how much the photos means to us! It's also very special to me to have good photos of my family members, and you captured so many moments!"
"I basically don't want to work and just want to stare at wedding photos :) You and Erin are seriously the best!"
Erin and Courtney are an absolute joy to work with, and TLDR; we want to be friends with them and can't wait to have a reason to work with them again soon. They have a true talent for creating beautiful photos not only composition-wise, but content-wise. Seamlessly blending candid and posed photographs - we were overjoyed with our photographs and albums.
Their photographic composition is really unique and unparalleled. We had browsed the portfolios of several Bay Area photographers, from San Francisco to Santa Rosa, from Petaluma to Sonoma/Napa...Erin and Courtney's portfolio stood out immediately, so it was quite a quick decision for us.
Preceding our wedding day, we facetimed with them, emailed, etc. They took the time to check out our wedding venue a couple of times to scout photo locations and get a sense for the lighting. They were incredibly responsive as we narrowed down our shot list, which was slightly more complicated, plus they were very patient and gave us good advice as we went through that exercise.
Then, we got to meet them in person.
Both Erin and Courtney have a familiar and personable vibe, which really helped to ease my fears of having "awkward" pictures. It was really amazing to see how much they added to our wedding day (we really liked hanging out with them!). In addition, it was equally amazing to see how fluid and almost invisible (in a good way!!) they were during the ceremony, dinner, and the party.
I highly recommend Erin and Courtney. And as I said before, I can't wait until our paths cross again.

"Wow. What an amazing gift!"
OMG OMG OMG.!!!!!!!!
That is our first response when we saw the gallery. THANK YOU, Erin and Courtney, for such beautiful, heart melting photos!
We can't stop looking at them - we're so incredibly satisfied and happy with how our photos turned out.
We teared up when scrolling through - you both captured wonderful moments that we weren't able to see the day of our wedding.
You guys are AMAZING and we can't wait to share our photos and recommend you to everyone we know!
"OMG OMG OMG.!!!!!!!!"
I just wanted to thank you two so much for our wedding photos. We got married a little over two and a half years ago now, and I lost my father this past weekend. Going back through the photos of our wedding has given us so many happy memories to come back to, and so many wonderful pictures we can share with friends and family. My mom keeps telling me she's never seen my dad have so much fun, and it means the world to us to have some pictures of him from that weekend. Thank you again for all the memories.
