The ceremony was filled with these great reactions and I shot it creatively by using the stunning golden hour light with reflections.

This couple came all the way from Dubai to get married at the beautiful private Game Lodge, Gondwana. Gondwana is situated near Mossel Bay in the Garden Route.

This was a very emotional day for both the bride and groom as this was a marriage that they both knew should have happened a long time ago already. After so many years, they could finally live out their love for each other. The ceremony was celebrated as the sun set over the African bushveld and while the elephants were grazing close by.

We followed the ceremony with a couple of portrait sessions in the Game Reserve with plenty of wildlife in the background. The couple retreated to a fine dining experience to conclude their perfect day.
