Classic Photography

Darla Aaron and Melissa Peterson share a passion for photography and knowledge of the importance of documenting the meaningful moments in life. Darla’s sales experience and Melissa’s background in public relations provide the perfect balance of business and fun, detail and emotion. Loyal clientele commend the two for their relaxed, approachable style, which results in beautiful portraiture.

At Classic Photography, we are fortunate to be able to take advantage of the beautiful Napa Valley, making a “studio” out of the area’s beautiful palette of vineyards, wineries and estates. We are familiar with this world-class venue because we photograph here every day! As Napa Valley locals, we have established relationships with key local vendors in our own backyard. Classic’s “natural” style has become our signature look. While staying true to our original desire to create timeless photos, we continue to incorporate cutting-edge technology with state-of-the art digital equipment. Whether you prefer gorgeous color, elegant black and white, or specialty sepia-tone portraits, we can help with any of your photography needs.

We will be everywhere and yet you won’t even know it. We have been in your shoes before. We know that the exhilaration, the anticipation, the hugs, the tears, the priceless moments need to be documented without you having to think about it that day.

You can be fully immersed in the moment while we record it for posterity. Our job is to make sure that the memories you create on this special day, stay with you forever. So, don’t worry about the details. Fully immerse yourself in the moment and we will make sure your portraits tell your story.
