Rainy Wedding at Renault Winery | Champagne Ballroom

April 18, 2025

Last weekend, I photographed Carrie and Jimmy’s Rainy Wedding at Renault Winery. Located in Egg Harbor City, NJ, Renault is a romantic South Jersey wedding venue that boasts a rich history and a unique, rustic elegance. Known for its sprawling vineyards, beautiful stone buildings, and picturesque grounds, the winery is a perfect setting for a wedding. When the forecast predicted rain on Carrie and Jimmy’s wedding day, my couple had to pivot from their planned outdoor ceremony. But instead of feeling disappointed, they embraced the rain and in doing so, created a day filled with romance, joy, and unforgettable moments. For Carrie and Jimmy’s wedding, the rain added an extra layer of beauty to their celebration. The decision to move the ceremony indoors was seamless, and Renault Winery’s Champagne Ballroom provided the perfect backdrop.

In the end, the rain didn’t just offer a beautiful setting, it part of the wedding story, a reminder that love isn’t about perfection; it’s about embracing life’s imperfections with grace and joy.

A rainy wedding at Renault Winery, far from being a setback, proved to be an opportunity for the couple to create a day that was as unique as their love story. The rain brought a sense of peace and connection to the day, reminding everyone that sometimes the most beautiful moments are the ones that arrive unexpectedly.

My favorite detail of the day was Carrie’s baby bump, I cannot wait to continue to capture this growing family with maternity photos next followed by a newborn session! <3

If you find yourself planning a wedding and the forecast calls for rain, don’t panic — instead, consider it a sign that your day will be filled with even more beauty, love, and unforgettable memories. After all, a little rain can create a whole lot of magic.
