Christina and Eric's day at Brindare Estate in St. Helena was everything — — a full, joyful, throw-your-head-back kind of celebration that felt like the couple themselves: warm, fun, and completely present for every single moment of it.
Set in the heart of Napa Valley, Brindare Estate provided the kind of backdrop that only wine country can — golden light, lush grounds, and that particular quality of air that makes everything feel a little more cinematic. The outdoor ceremony was exactly that. But what I remember most about this day wasn't the setting. It was the energy.
From the ceremony to the last song of the night, Christina and Eric's guests were all in. The laughter started early and never really stopped. There was a moment — somewhere between the toasts and the dance floor — where you could feel the whole room collectively let go, and what followed was the kind of late night energy that you can't manufacture and can't plan for. It just happens when the right people show up for the right couple.
The dance floor told the whole story. Full, loud, and completely uninhibited from the first song to the last. Christina and Eric led the way — which is always the best sign. When a couple is truly celebrating, their guests follow. And this crowd needed zero convincing.
Christina and Eric, this day was pure joy from start to finish. Thank you for letting me be there for all of it.
