THANK YOU!
Whether you’ve supported us from the very beginning or somewhere along the way, this milestone would not be the same without the community around us. On November 8, 2025, we got engaged in a transformed gallery space filled with all of our favorite keepsakes together. Looking back, it felt like the perfect representation of us. We’ve always held onto moments, places, photos, and stories because they remind us of how much purpose and love has shaped our relationship.
Choosing Napa Valley for our wedding location was deeply intentional—it’s where Alexandra’s parents spent their honeymoon, and being able to celebrate here feels incredibly meaningful for our families. More than anything, we are just immensely grateful for the life we’ve built, the loved ones who have supported us through every season, and everyone joining us for this next chapter. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!

Rideshare:
Uber and Lyft are available from all recommended airports. Please note that rideshare availability can be more limited in Napa Valley during evening hours, so if you plan to travel from Napa to the airport in the evening, we recommend scheduling your ride in advance.
