A CIA Greystone St. Helena wedding is always something special, and Cambria and Michael’s celebration was nothing short of unforgettable. Their wedding day was filled with deep family connections, timeless traditions, and so much joy from beginning to end.
The day began at the historic Mont La Salle Chapel in Napa, a location that held deep meaning for Cambria and her family thanks to long-standing family ties. The couple chose not to do a first look, wanting to keep the anticipation for the ceremony, but they did decide to take all of their formal family portraits before the ceremony in the stunning chapel grounds. One of the most emotional moments of the day was Cambria’s first look with her four older brothers. It was incredibly touching and set the tone for a day centered on family and love.
The Catholic church ceremony was beautiful to document, filled with tradition, emotion, and reverence. From the top of the chapel, the views were absolutely breathtaking, offering sweeping vistas of Napa Valley that felt both peaceful and grand. With a tight timeline, we were able to sneak away for about five minutes of golden hour portraits in the vineyards right outside Mont La Salle Chapel. Those few moments of soft Napa light created some truly magical images.
After portraits, Cambria and Michael hopped on the bus with their wedding party and headed to their CIA Greystone St. Helena wedding celebration. They arrived just at the tail end of cocktail hour and were able to join their guests on the main level, enjoying an incredible spread of seafood paired with espresso martinis. Before guests entered the reception, the couple shared a quiet moment together seeing their beautifully designed space for the first time.
CIA Greystone was absolutely glowing, filled with candlelight and lush greenery that perfectly complemented the historic stone architecture. The rest of the evening was spent listening to heartfelt and sentimental toasts from loved ones, enjoying meaningful specialty dances, and ending the night with an epic, high-energy dance floor. Cambria and Michael’s CIA wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, emotion, and celebration—an unforgettable Napa Valley wedding day from start to finish.
