Italian Summer Wedding at Brindare Napa

This day. Just… wow. Alexis and Dustin pulled off the most effortlessly beautiful, wine country meets Italian summer wedding at Brindare Napa, and we’re still thinking about it. Everything about it felt chic, laid-back, and full of love… from the wild, romantic florals to the gold-detailed decor, all wrapped up in that soft Napa Valley light.

And yes, we brought out the 35mm film for this one too. Blending film with our digital coverage always adds that nostalgic, dreamy feel we love so much. The grain, the color, the softness… it felt perfect for their vibe.

All the Feelings, All Day Long

The Vibe: Italian Summer Meets Wine Country Ease at Brindare Napa

Alexis described the vision as “Italian summer, chic, simple, comfortable and natural. The best of wine country, in all of its elegance.” Nailed it, right? Everything felt relaxed and gorgeous all at once. Think linen signage, wild florals, and a big “come hang out and stay awhile” kind of energy.

Oat + Petal created the most beautiful floral arrangements… wild, natural, and effortless. Exactly what Alexis and Dustin were going for. Paired with gold accents, soft linens, and those warm Brindare Napa stone walls, it all came together like a styled shoot that never tried too hard.

Two Dresses, Two Vibes

Alexis rocked two looks and both were stunning. Her ceremony dress was the Haven gown from NEWHITE… modern, timeless, with a corset that gave it a fashion-forward edge. “I wanted something modern, timeless, and with a corset,” she said, and it was all that and more.

For the reception, she changed into an Aritzia dress with a romantic rosette detail. Light, flowy, and made for dancing… so good.

Little Details That Made a Big Impact

Alexis and Dustin wrote handwritten notes for every single guest. Yep, every guest got a personal note waiting for them at the reception. It was such a thoughtful, heartfelt gesture and honestly so impressive considering everything else they were juggling while planning the wedding. Just one more way these two made the whole day feel personal and full of love.

Let’s Talk About the Food (Because, Wow)

Alexis and Dustin are big-time foodies, so they went all out with the food and drinks. They chose family-style service so guests could share, try a bit of everything, and really settle into that cozy, celebratory vibe. One of the most well-known facts is that Brindare Napa is one of the best caterers in California – and there is no coincidence this is one of the reasons why they got married here.

They thought about everyone and made sure it felt inclusive, delicious, and elegant without being fussy.

Also: Dustin dancing with his mom. Alexis screaming Pink Pony Club with her girls on the dance floor. The energy was so real and so fun from start to finish.

A Day That Was Entirely Theirs

From the dog-themed details to the dreamy florals, the espresso bar to the film photos, Alexis and Dustin made this day feel like them in every way. And their wedding at Brindare Napa (aka Tre Posti) was the perfect backdrop for all of it. We felt so honored to be part of it, and to document the candid film photos that bring back all the feelings every time they look at it.

If you’re planning a wedding in wine country and looking for relaxed, emotional, joy-filled photography with a side of nostalgic film vibes, we’re here for it. Let’s make some magic together.
