african bridal couple, wedding in Africa, wedding at game reserve

Chris & Clare | Ulusaba Game Lodge, Sabi Sand

It’s a little crazy if you think about it. I’ve gone on those morning walks in Kruger National Park before and have never seen anything except a fresh pile of elephant dung and a zebra, but have your wedding ceremony out in the bush and suddenly elephants, giraffe, hyenas and rhino come around to say “hi” seemingly on a regular basis. My first wedding of the new season kicked off in September at Ulusaba Game Lodge, just outside Kruger National Park in the Sabi Sand Reserve. Chris and Clare celebrated their union in a dry riverbed with close friends and family from all around the globe, followed by a game drive/portrait session under a rather moody sky, allowing for some fantastically dramatic images. The Ulusaba team rounded off the day with a wonderful lantern lit evening out in the african bush with live african dancing and the best noodles I’ve ever had. Yes, of course there were some other things as well, the tuna steaks were pretty amazing for example, and would it really be a South African wedding without a braai? But, that noodle stir-fry… Thank you for having me at your wedding Chris & Clare, it’s been an honour. I hope you enjoy your photographs. african bridal couple, wedding in Africa, wedding at game reserve Zebra wedding, Sabi Sand wedding, Ulusaba wedding Wedding dress, african wedding, safari wedding dress, ulusaba wedding dress Ulusaba room, Ulusaba wedding Converse bridal shoes, bridal shoes, African wedding shoes bridal make-up, african wedding make-up, bride reflecting shot bride before, bride MUA, south africa wedding, bushveld wedding Ulusaba Safari Lodge, Guests waiting for wedding, Ulusaba wedding, Rock Lodge wedding Ulusaba groom, groom with sunglasses, bushveld groom, safari wedding African boutonnière, groom ready, before the wedding, Ulusaba groom wedding details, African wedding details, african wedding decor, lodge wedding details, lodge flowers page boys africa, shy page boys, page boys in africa wedding vows africa, wedding dry riverbed, riverbed wedding, bushveld wedding ceremony, game lodge wedding ceremony, Ulusaba wedding ceremony wedding with game, wedding elephant, wedding ceremony african elephant wedding ceremony, wedding vows in africa, Ulusaba wedding minister confetti in africa, south africa wedding, confetti in bushveld, wedding celebration bride champagne, bride groom champagne, bride bubbly, champagne at africa wedding Ulusaba ranger, ulusaba wedding, wedding congratulations, africa wedding congratulations africa wedding photoshoot, scouting wedding locations, wedding game drive, game drive ulusaba, wedding game drive ulusaba bride bouquet, ulusaba wedding flowers, ulusaba wedding bouquet, africa wedding flowers, africa wedding bouquet happy bride and groom, Ulusaba bride and groom, bushveld bridal couple, african wedding black and white wedding portrait, b&w wedding portrait, portraits in africa, weddings in africa Ulusaba, Kruger National Park, Ulusaba wedding, Kruger wedding african dance, african warrior, wedding dance africa, wedding reception entertainment, wedding reception game lodge, ulusaba wedding reception bushveld table decor, lantern wedding reception, lanterns ulusaba, wedding lanterns, ulusaba table decorations Ulusaba chef, wedding tuna steak, wedding lodge chef, wedding food africa, africa wedding cuisine Groom speech, Africa wedding reception, africa wedding speech, reception open bush dramatic wedding silhouette, africa wedding silhouette, africa rock wedding, rock lodge ulusaba
