Carmel Valley weddings have a magic that’s hard to find anywhere else. With its vineyards, meadows, and golden-hour light, this part of Monterey County offers couples a setting that’s both intimate and cinematic. We’ve had the honor of photographing weddings across the valley — from the rustic charm of The Camp at Carmel Valley, to the European-inspired courtyards of Folktale Winery & Vineyards, to the sweeping views of Carmel Valley Ranch, and the classic celebration spaces of Wedgwood Weddings Carmel Fields. Each one brings its own personality, but together they show why Carmel Valley has become one of California’s premier wedding destinations. At Monterey Photography, we focus on capturing not just what the day looked like, but how it felt. From a vineyard first look, to golden-hour portraits, to a sparkler sendoff under the stars — these are the images that tell your story.
