Sheila Johnson photographs weddings as stories about connection, the way a couple looks at each other and at the people gathered around them, not just the details on the table. Her work is fine art documentary with a romantic, timeless finish, made for couples who want their photos to feel the way the day actually felt.

She is based in Sebastopol and works throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Northern California wine country, from vineyard ceremonies to venues like Castello di Amorosa. Her process is simple. Connect, plan, celebrate. She learns your vision first, then plans the day with you so nothing feels rushed.

Beyond weddings she photographs proposals and family portraits, and it shows in how easily she works a room full of relatives. Collections begin at $6,000.
