This shoot aimed to prove that weddings can be a literal adventure. Because, really, how many weddings have you been to that have gorilla feeding, a boho chic colourful wedding dress all set on a wildlife park and reserve? We’re guessing not very many.

I believe every couple’s wedding day should be a reflection of who they are as a couple. We wanted to encourage couples to infuse their personality, hobbies, and love story into every aspect of the celebration. That's what makes it truly theirs.

Wild Love at Port Lympne

This shoot was inspired by the natural beauty of Africa, which is why Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve, where the magic of a safari meets the charm of a wedding venue, was the perfect choice. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Kent, Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve offers a one-of-a-kind safari experience right in the U.K. It's not just a venue; it's a journey into the heart of the wild, where couples can exchange vows surrounded by breathtaking scenery and majestic wildlife. Port Lympne also has a commendable commitment to wildlife conservation. The opportunity to exchange vows surrounded by majestic wildlife is an unforgettable experience. This is the perfect venue for couples who want to have a unique day.

Safari Wedding With Boho Styling

This epic safari wedding shoot aimed to create an experience that merges the exotic allure of the savanna with the rustic charm of the British countryside. One of the coolest moments, of course, was when the bride and groom got to feed the gorillas! Can you imagine a more unique experience for a wedding day? It didn't stop there, though. Every detail, from the cake to the flowers to the dresses, was a nod to the vibrant landscapes of Africa thanks to Recommended Supplier, The Little Wedding Warehouse. Think earthy tones, exotic blooms, and intricate patterns. The fashion and beauty were effortlessly chic with natural, dewy makeup using earthy hues by Recommended Supplier, Michelle Morris MUA.

When we first saw this shoot, it caught our eye instantly not only because of the unique venue and safari aspect but because the bold and boho styling and fashion matched the setting perfectly. We loved the use of a peacock chair for the more intimate and modern sweetheart table. We have 28 more sweetheart table ideas if you with everything you need to know about this wedding trend. Plus, we have a roundup of our fave colourful wedding dresses for those brides who want to choose to walk on the colourful side.
