To emphasize, a Renault Winery wedding is one I dream about often. I fell in love repeatedly during Valerie and Jason’s dreamy Renault Winery wedding, a day of beauty and love. Splashed with sage, white flowers, and a couple radiating all the joy and happiness you could imagine made, this wedding dreamy to photograph. Sweet and romantic moments together made the couple so happy, as you will see in the images below.
First, the bride and her gorgeous gal tribe got glammed up with Gina Jost Makeup & Hair Artistry, we photographed the lovely details. Valerie was excited to put on her lace-adorned gown with a plunging neckline that fitted her perfectly. I personally think there is no other dress better for her. She looked gorgeous with a bold red lip, crystal bridal accessories, and a stunning bouquet of blooms by Dragonfly Flowers. After the reveal to the bridal party and her emotional father, we were ready for a first look with Jason. Valerie entered into the vineyard, where Jason awaited the first look. Totally at ease yet excited, they were both having a wonderful time, lost in the moment together.
Next was wedding party portraits with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The wedding party looked fabulous; the amazing Felicia Gentile from Tutti Belle Events had the ceremony area styled like a dream. As the guests arrived, it was soon time for the ceremony to start. What a lovely ceremony set-up with so much attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward the guest experience. Wine barrels gave a subtle rustic touch, with a stunning water view and an archway dressed in white florals and flowy fabric. This ceremony was a sight only made more gorgeous as the bride arrived on the arm of her smiling father.
All the eyes were on the couple as the officiant spoke about their love story and then exchanged vows and rings. Then talk about fun-loving; this couple downed a shot at the altar. With this playful gesture, there was no way the Renault Winery wedding reception wouldn’t be a fabulous celebration. Valerie and Jason danced down the aisle, and the celebration instantly began. I loved everything about this ceremony, especially the unique ending!
Lastly, this New Jersey wedding reception venue is exceptional, with the Vineyard Ballroom being perfect for Valerie and Jason’s vision. With French country vibes, it has wooden floors, farmhouse-style chandeliers hanging from high ceilings, and plenty of space to let off surprise smoke bombs as DJ Jeff Scott Gould helps your guests go wild on the dance floor. They all had a blast partying that night, infused with sentimental moments of speeches, cake cutting, and special dances. Nobody was shy about having their awesome dance moves documented, and they all danced late into the night.
Furthermore, from the moment I shot the couple’s engagement shoot at Longwood Gardens, I knew their wedding would be memorable. It even exceeded my expectations as their energetic group of friends and family took the celebration to the highest levels of love and fun.
