Justin and Haven met at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Justin, a winemaker originally from DC, moved to Napa Valley after graduation to break into the wine industry, while Haven found his way to the Napa Valley Gondola, an authentic Venetian gondola, and started running tours there. That same gondola became the setting for their engagement session, shot on Super 8, the vintage home movie film format known for its warm color and soft grain. The Napa Valley Gondola's hand carved wood, gold leaf details, and Venetian craftsmanship made it the perfect backdrop for a couple whose story is rooted in this valley: one who makes the wine, one who guides the boats.
