Diane Askew ~ Caswell & Askew Studio

Hi! My name is Diane Askew and I am a wedding photographer in Sonoma, CA. I have owned and opertated Caswell & Askew Studio for over nine years now - during which time I have photographed over 300 wine country weddings.

In addition to showcasing my work on this blog, I also hope to educate couples as they organize their wedding photography coverage, often from thousands of miles away. I hope to help shed light on some often-confusing aspects of wedding photography, helping couples to make some important decisions armed with the most helpful information possible. I know what works and what doesn't. I have gained invaluable knowledge over the years, having encountered just about every possible "situation"! I truly believe that there is no substitute for experience when it comes to wedding photography. We have to be able to handle the pressure - along with the time-constraints, changes, etc. - that often accompany weddings, with the greatest of ease and confidence. There is no situation that I can't handle, which means that every wedding I photograph ends up flowing beautfully, no matter what arises.

Since I spend time behind the camera whenever possible, in addition to my work you can expect to see photographs from my birding trips, volunteer work at a local animal shelter, fine art, my son and two dogs, etc.

Please check back frequently as this blog evolves into an informative, entertaining, and useful resource for engaged couple around the world.


♥ Christopher & Alissa | Cline Cellars & Jacuzzi Family Vineyards

Gregory (my second shooter) and I had the honor of photographing the first family event ever to be held at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. Christopher’s great-grandfather, Gelindo Jacuzzi, immigrated to the Bay Area from Italy and, with his brothers, started Jacuzzi Brothers, Inc. in Berkeley, where they produced airplanes and airplane propellers, water pumps, jet boat  engine components, and whirlpool baths, among other things. The Grandson of Gelinda’s brother, Fred Cline, is the owner of Jazuzzi Family Vineyards and Cline Cellars. Chris’s father is currently CEO of Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. So, Christopher & Alissa’s wedding was an especially important event at these two venues.

We began shooting at the Sonoma Mission Inn where Alissa was getting ready (and where Christopher had earlier proposed to Alissa), and then we headed to Cline Cellars for the ceremony and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards for the reception. The two wineries are located across the street from each other in the Carnerous region of Sonoma.
