This intimate spring wedding at Charles Krug Winery was exactly that — heartfelt, personal, and deeply rooted in family, connection, and joy.

From meaningful traditions to playful details that reflected who they are as a couple, this day was a beautiful reminder that the most unforgettable weddings are the ones that feel true to the people at the center of them.

From Bumble to “I Do” in Napa Valley

This couple’s story began on Bumble — a modern love story that led them all the way to a wedding surrounded by the people they love most. They’re the kind of couple who finds joy in the simple things, like casual dates to Chick-fil-A and cozy nights watching The Office together.

Those shared loves weren’t just part of their relationship — they were thoughtfully woven into their wedding day. Subtle nods to The Office showed up in the décor, adding personality and lightheartedness without overpowering the elegance of the setting. It was fun, intentional, and completely them.

Choosing Not to Do a First Look — and Why It Mattered

The couple chose not to do a first look, wanting to experience that moment for the first time during the ceremony. That decision made their aisle moment incredibly emotional and meaningful — full of anticipation and genuine reaction.

Instead, the bride shared a first look with her father, and it was one of the most touching moments of the day. Quiet, emotional, and deeply personal, it was a reminder that a wedding in Napa isn’t just about the couple — it’s about honoring family, history, and the relationships that shaped who you are.

A Ceremony Centered on Family and Connection

Family played a huge role in this wedding, and it was beautifully reflected in the ceremony itself. Rather than keeping everything traditional and formal, the couple invited family members to participate through heartfelt speeches and musical performances.

These moments added so much depth and emotion to the day. It felt less like a production and more like a gathering of loved ones — something that made this Napa wedding feel incredibly intimate and meaningful. These moments made this winery wedding feel incredibly intimate and meaningful.

Sunset Portraits in the Vineyards

As the sun began to dip behind the vineyards, the couple intentionally stepped away for sunset photos — and it was more than worth it. Napa Valley at golden hour is truly magical. The soft light, vineyard rows, and quiet pause together created some of the most romantic moments of the day. I loved that the flowers were already out and blooming.

Taking time away like this allows couples to breathe, reconnect, and soak in the fact that they’re officially married — something I always encourage when planning a winery wedding in Napa.

A Live Band and a Dance Floor That Never Slowed Down

One of the most fun parts of the night was the live band. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room shifted — the dance floor stayed full, the celebration felt electric, and the joy was contagious.

Live music brings a different kind of energy to a wedding, and for this couple, it was the perfect way to end a day filled with emotion, laughter, and connection. It was the kind of party where no one wanted the night to end.

This day was intimate, thoughtful, emotional, and joyful. From their Bumble beginnings to their shared love of family, food, and The Office, every detail reflected who they are and what they value most.
