Very few wedding locations are as stunning as endless vines as far as the eye can see, like at Belle Vie Vineyard. As a wedding photographer, I know how important it is to find a venue that suits your needs and also provides a beautiful backdrop for the photos you’ll be looking at for years to come. That’s why I’ve added Belle Vie Vineyard to the list of venues you absolutely need to check out!
About the Belle Vie Vineyard
Belle Vie Vineyard is a luxury wedding venue and vineyard on Sherman Island in California’s historic Sacramento River Delta. Situated on the banks of the San Joaquin River, this private, 37-acre estate is home to rows of beautiful Chardonnay vines and stunning backdrops. You’ll receive full-service, customizable packages designed to exceed your wedding expectations.
In addition to the stunning location, I’m one of the preferred photographer vendors for this location as well. I have been published in numerous bridal magazines and publications like Inspired By This & Wedding Chicks. As a Sacramento wedding photographer, I focus on romantic, colorful, and timeless photos and have been photographing couples since 2013.
Address: 19900 Sherman Island Cross Rd. Sherman Island, CA 94571
