Renault Winery Champagne Ballroom Wedding

If you’re dreaming of a Renault Winery Champagne Ballroom Wedding, Alessandra and Colin’s beautiful summer celebration is full of timeless inspiration. From an emotional first look beneath the iconic white archways to a breathtaking sunset by the lake, every part of their day was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. With a soft light blue color palette, elegant floral details, and perfect summer weather, their wedding showcased everything couples love about getting married at Renault Winery.

Getting Ready at Renault Winery

One of the biggest advantages of hosting a wedding at Renault Winery is having everything in one location. Alessandra spent the morning getting ready in one of the beautiful hotel suites surrounded by her closest family and friends. The natural light throughout the hotel created the perfect atmosphere for timeless bridal portraits before the day officially began.

An Emotional First Look Beneath the White Archways

Rather than waiting until the ceremony, Alessandra and Colin chose to share a private first look outside the hotel beneath Renault Winery’s signature white archways. It was the perfect setting for such an intimate moment.

After seeing each other for the first time, they exchanged handwritten personal vows. These quiet moments away from their guests allowed them to slow down, soak everything in, and truly enjoy the excitement of finally becoming husband and wife. It was easily one of the most emotional parts of the day.

Portraits Throughout the Renault Winery Property

With their portraits complete before the ceremony, we explored many of the gorgeous locations throughout Renault Winery. We photographed inside the elegant hotel, outside beneath the archways, throughout the charming courtyard, and even incorporated the winery itself into their portraits.

The beautiful summer sunshine highlighted every location and gave us endless opportunities for romantic, natural photographs. One of my favorite things about photographing a Renault Winery Champagne Ballroom Wedding is the incredible variety of backdrops all within walking distance.

A Stunning Outdoor Ceremony

Their outdoor ceremony was absolutely breathtaking. Every detail had been carefully considered, but one design element stood out above the rest.

Instead of lining the aisle with candles, they placed gorgeous roses directly into the ground, creating the illusion of glowing candlelight while adding a beautiful pop of color. It was elegant, unique, and perfectly complemented their light blue wedding palette.

As they made their way back down the aisle as newlyweds, the floral-lined ceremony space became the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebratory dip. It was one of those joyful moments that perfectly captured the excitement of the day.

Champagne Ballroom Reception

The celebration continued inside the elegant Champagne Ballroom, where every detail reflected Alessandra and Colin’s classic style. Their thoughtful planning created a reception that felt warm, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant.

With perfect summer temperatures outside, guests spent much of cocktail hour and the evening enjoying Renault Winery’s beautiful outdoor spaces before returning inside to celebrate, dance, and toast the newlyweds.

A Dramatic Summer Sunset

Before the evening festivities were over, we slipped away for sunset portraits—and I’m so glad we did.

We hopped on golf carts and headed toward the lake just as the sun began to set. The dramatic sky reflected across the water, creating some of the most beautiful light imaginable. The combination of golden sunlight, soft blue tones, and peaceful lake views gave Alessandra and Colin the perfect ending to an already incredible wedding day.

These sunset portraits are always worth the few minutes away from the reception, and this evening reminded us exactly why.
