Image created as the couple exchanges private vows at their elopement weddin

The couple exchanges private vows during their first look at their African elopement wedding with the vast African grasslands as the backdrop.

This couple came all the way from London, UK to get married in the beautiful KwaZulu Natal Midlands. They treated their intimate group of family and friends with a private game drive to view the lions, elephants and countless other wildlife at their selected private Game Lodge wedding venue.

The couple decided on a very emotional first look where they exchanged vows and private gifts. The ceremony followed with an exclusive private performance by the South African (2x Grammy award winners), the Sowetan choir.

A quick photoshoot after the passing thunderstorm followed. During the reception, the guests were treated to local Zulu dancing and an unforgettable fine dining experience under the African sky. To round the wedding off, the guests were moved inside to night canapes and another private performance by local musicians. All in all, the couple and their guests enjoyed a wonderful South African experience of food, wine, wildlife, and entertainment.
