You think you know DIY weddings, but you sure as heck haven’t seen it like this before!! Nicole and Kyle reached out to me about photographing their Renault Winery wedding and I knew immediately that we would hit it off flawlessly. They’re a fun loving couple who loves their dog, a good brew, and traveling. Nicole and Kyle couldn’t wait to throw a “colorful, citrus disco wedding” (Nicole’s design words!!) and celebrate with all their loved ones.
What began as a simple Tinder swipe led them to this beautiful day. As Kyle once told Nicole, “you’re stuck with me now”. Togeher they share a wonderful chemistry and I knew this as going to be one gooood wedding day.
Nicole got ready at their home before heading over to Renault Winery to get dressed! Their bridal suite is the perfect spot and we had so much fun hyping Nicole up to see Kyle. She also gave me allll the goodies from their wedding stationery to photograph, all of which Nicole created! It set the tone for their colorful wedding and ooooh I’m in love with it all!
Nicole and Kyle opted for a first look so they could party the night away with everyone! One thing that they loved about their Renault Winery wedding is the variety in photo locations. We set them up in the vineyards and had them walk to each other. It was a moment for just them and they loved sharing this quiet moment together. From there, we did a few portraits of them and their fabulous wedding party! They brought the best energy and looked damn good doing it.
And seriously, can we talk about these colors?? My color loving heart cannot handle it. Nicole and her dad worked tirelessly to create all the decor for the wedding. Together they are the creatives behind Frankadelphia, and they create laser cut decor for weddings and gifts! I couldn’t believe how incredible everything turned out, not a single detail went overlooked.
The ceremony in Renault Winery’s courtyard was perfection too! My favorite part of their ceremony was the tree planting. They had each set of parents bring soil from their home to plant the tree with. Nicole and Kyle added soil from their home as well and created one of the most sentimental moments I’ve seen in a long time.
Nicole’s decor gets a section of its own! The entire ballroom was decked out with all her incredible creations and color as far as the eye could see. I will neverrrrr get over how stunning and colorful everything was! More colorful weddings please!!
The rest of the night was a true PARTY! We even popped out for some stunning sunset portraits that were my favorite from the entire day. I couldn’t love these two and their day more!! So thankful for incredible couples like Nicole and Kyle! You can see and read more about their day over at New Jersey Bride too!
