A winery wedding at Lightning Hill Estate without a huge price tag

Emma and Martin began their special day with a heartfelt first look, set against the stunning backdrop of Lightning Hill Estate’s manicured gardens.

The anticipation leading up to this moment was palpable, and when Martin turned to see Emma in her beautiful gown, the emotion in his eyes was unmistakable. Their first look was a perfect way to start their day, allowing them to share an intimate moment together before the festivities began.

The lush greenery, soft light, and quiet serenity of the estate created the perfect setting for these candid and emotional photos, capturing the essence of their connection. (Matt Now & Forever)

On May the 4th, yes, Star Wars Day, Shoana and Jordan tied the knot in an unforgettable celebration at Lightning Hill Estate. True to their shared love of the galaxy far, far away, the day was sprinkled with fun nods to the iconic franchise, from lightsaber photos to Millennium Falcon lapel flowers for the groom/groomsmen.

Shoana looked radiant, and Jordan? Well, let’s just say he brought the Force with him. Guests arrived in high spirits, and the ceremony was the perfect mix of romance and playfulness. The setting at Lightning Hill was out of this world (pun intended), and the weather couldn’t have been better.

It was a wedding full of laughter, love, and yes, a few cheeky Jedi references. We were absolutely thrilled to be a part of Shoana and Jordan’s special day, and we’ll always remember their May the 4th wedding as one of the most joyful and creative celebrations we’ve been lucky enough to witness.

Jamie and Bhodi’s wedding day at Lightning Hill Estate was a perfect blend of elegance and emotion. They made a seriously stylish entrance in a stunning black Chevy. But beyond the cool wheels and breathtaking scenery, what really stood out was their heartfelt connection.

Before the ceremony, they shared a private first look, and in that quiet, beautiful moment, Bhodi was overwhelmed with how beautiful Jamie was looking. It was raw, real, and incredibly moving. That said everything about how deeply these two feel for each other. The day unfolded with laughter, love, and a little happy crying too, just the way it should.
