A real wedding at the estate

A day at Spirit of Sofia

A couple celebrated their wedding here this autumn and shared their photos with us. This is how the day unfolded, from the first look to the pool.

The first look at the yellow door

The arched yellow door at the entrance is the estate's signature backdrop, with the mountains rising behind it. It is where this couple saw each other for the first time that day.

Vows under the heart arch

The garden lawn held rows of guests, a white backdrop and a heart arch of roses. Family filmed from the front row while the couple said their vows.

Family and tradition

There is room here for the moments that matter to your family, from a tea ceremony on the lawn to long hugs with the parents.

Golden hour by the pool

Late desert light, tall palms and the painted pool deck make the portraits easy. No travel between locations, just a walk across the courtyard.

After the vows

Then everyone jumps in

Your guests are already here, so the celebration carries on into pool days, floats and heart-shaped sunglasses.
