For the past several years as a wedding photographer, I have been honored to document some truly very special days at was once called Madrona Manor. After a brief hiatus, where the owners sold the property and the new owners took over, Healdsburg’s The Madrona is back and better than EVER before. Jay Jeffers really turned this place around all while honoring the history of this gorgeous property.
My husband and I were recently offered a chance to try the restaurant before they opened the doors to the public. Executive (and Michelin starred) Chef Jesse Mallgren never disappoints and we ate like royalty. The way he pulls food and flavors and the earth together leaves me a bit speechless.
I feel honored to have been able to photograph so many gorgeous weddings on The Madrona property. I also feel quite spoiled to have been able to taste their food and enjoy their incredible staff. To say this is a unique place would be an understatement.
The updates to the property have been expansive and yet, refined. The new owners held onto so much of The Madrona’s history, while creating a warm, modernized space. I hope to someday be able to stay at The Madrona, but for now, I simply get to hope that some lucky couple will hire me to photograph their wedding there!
The food, the property, the drinks, OY! Healdsburg’s The Madrona is Back!



































If you ever get the chance to visit The Madrona, I hope you love it just as much as I do! Have you had the honor of staying at The Madrona in its updated glory? I would LOVE to hear what you think! Drop me a comment below 🙂
