Viansa Winery: The Perfect Sonoma Venue
If you have known Milou + Olin for a while, you’ll know that one of our favorite wine country venues is Viansa Winery in Sonoma. We always look forward to photographing there, and some of the weddings closest to our hearts were held there. Ann and Tanner‘s big day at Viansa had pretty pink, green, and white details, not to mention the bride’s attire lent itself to our favorite fashion-forward pics! Lyndsey and Sameer’s Indian American Sonoma wedding brought some exciting, bright color to the usually rustic countryside and made their day completely unique. Emily and Greg sprinkled white flowers everywhere and soaked in the California sun in Viansa’s courtyard, and Catherine and Mike put a fun spin on winery weddings with lots of personal touches.
Endless Photo Options
There are so many different locations to shoot at Viansa, we never run out of options. Outdoors are tall, leafy archways and romantic treescapes, as well as their Mediterranean-inspired interiors full of unique architecture. For a photographer, this is the best-case scenario for your wedding day. For those couples that want the editorial feel we strive for, you know we utilize each background and all the scenery to it’s maximum potential. As long as you leave enough time for us to get all the shots we need, the possibilities are endless!

Viansa Winery fits our wedding style
Everything about this venue really fits the way we like to shoot. From it’s relaxed atmosphere that showcases California wine country at it’s finest, to the different colors and textures on the grounds that bring nature into your wedding in a non-obtrusive way.
Here is a little description of the venue from their website:
“Viansa is no doubt, one of the most beautiful properties in wine country. With some of the best views of the Sonoma Valley, the wetlands, and our beautiful Italian inspired architecture, it is a must-see for anyone visiting the Sonoma and Napa Valleys. View pictures of past events, weddings, and our stunning property in our photo gallery.”
Emily’s fabulous shoes needed to be photographed before her big walk down the aisle! Emily and Greg were so excited before their Viansa Winery ceremony! They were more than ready to hop right into marriage! Doesn’t Emily make a gorgeous bride? Viansa has so many beautiful spots for intimate portraits that you’ll remember far past your wedding day. California wine country is so beautiful, and Viansa is the perfect place to see it up close! Emily and Greg lean in for a sweet moment before their ceremony. They chose white flowers to line the aisles and to adorn a beautiful archway for their courtyard ceremony at Viansa. Doesn’t this interior courtyard provide the perfect spot to say “I Do?” Viansa has a few choices for where your ceremony can take place, and this one is the most popular. Emily and Greg’s reception was clad in shades of purple and white with some beautiful gold chivari chairs! Tent receptions are great for keeping the view unobstructed, holding a lot of people, and are easy to customize with your colors and decor!
Anne and her bridesmaids have a giggle in front of one of Viansa’s giant leafy walls – aren’t they all stunning? Ann smooches her dad and her fiance before her ceremony – you couldn’t pick a prettier spot for it! We love Ann’s choice of ruffles and jewelry! Her satin flats will make it easy to dance the night away at their reception later! Ann and Tanner tie the knot in Viansa’s beautiful barrel room. The soft curved architecture and giant barrels makes it a romantic wine country spot to say your vows. Ann’s feminine green, pink and white cake pairs beautifully with their gold chivari chairs, don’t you think? Ann chose a tented reception at Viansa and filled it with some beautiful linens and leafy centerpieces. Time to dance the night away! Catherine and Mike strike a pose on the stairs at Viansa. Cat and Mike’s accessories are so fun! This couple certainly knows how to dress for a party! Cat and Mike chose Viansa’s barrel room for their ceremony and lined it with petals – such a sweet touch! Cute personal decor touches add a little fun to the program table – we love the trunk! Cat and Mike lit up a tent at Viansa with paper lanterns that shone down on lilac flowers and brown chivari chairs. Lyndsey and Sameer’s traditional Indian attire looks stunning underneath a secluded archway at Viansa. Indian wedding henna adds detail and warmth to Lyndsey’s traditional ceremony attire. Lyndsey and Sameer chose the Viansa courtyard to have their traditional Indian ceremony. The beautiful pinks and reds look at home between the terra cotta buildings.
Lyndsey and Sameer decorate their Viansa reception with golds, purples, reds, and pinks under a beautiful tent.
