The picturesque venue offered the opportunity for a few poses against an exquisite sunset.
The magnificent ballroom reception featured wonderful details like a five-tiered, flower-festooned wedding cake, all the better for Tony and Renee's affectionate cake smash. The scene was set for some light-hearted fun as the playful groom enjoyed the traditional garter belt toss.
