If you’re a Bride or future Bride-to-be and you’re wondering what to include in your wedding day timeline, this is the guide for you! Having a wedding day timeline is SO important! I’ve photographed countless weddings in all different seasons and places with so many different timelines. There are some things that just STAND OUT that are worth mentioning! So here are a few tips from a professional wedding photographer that I’d love to give you to help you plan your perfect wedding day timeline!
There’s a certain kind of wedding that doesn’t follow the rules, and honestly? That’s where it all comes together. No packed schedules, no pressure to host a full guest list, just the two of you, tucked away in the wild, where your wedding day feels more like an experience than an event. If you’ve found […]
Some wedding days are built around a packed schedule. This one really wasn’t. A safari wedding in South Africa gives you a very different kind of day, slower, more present, and a lot more grounded in the actual experience than in checking off a timeline. This celebration at Nambiti Hills Lodge brought that vision to […]
Cassidy and Charlie knew they wanted to elope, but they did not immediately know where. They had looked at different destinations and several “all-inclusive” elopement options, but many of the packages they found still only covered a few pieces of the wedding itself. Photography might be included, for example, but they would still need to […]
Let me say this right away: an elopement in South Africa might be the most underrated wedding decision you could possibly make. While everyone else is booking ballrooms and stressing over seating charts, you could be exchanging vows at a private safari lodge with giraffes wandering behind you and elephants drinking from the pool below […]
Sturla and Saga traveled from Iceland to South Africa in March 2025 for a private, just-the-two-of-them elopement along the coast at Betty’s Bay. They had always wanted to visit South Africa and loved the idea of getting married somewhere completely new—somewhere with beautiful scenery, warm weather, mountains, ocean views, and experiences they could build an […]
I grew up here. I’ve watched the sun come up over Table Mountain more times than I can count. I’ve stood on these beaches in every season, in every kind of light. And I can tell you this with confidence, there are very few places in the world where you can stand on a mountain […]
Most couples I work with start in the same place, they’re torn. Do we say our vows somewhere wild and untamed with a luxury safari elopement in South Africa, or do we picture ourselves celebrating with ocean views and wine country during a Cape Town honeymoon? And underneath that question is usually another one they […]
One of the first questions couples ask when they begin considering a safari elopement in Africa is, “What does the experience actually look like?” That question is especially important when you are flying across the world to get married. You want to understand how the trip flows, when the ceremony happens, how safari drives fit […]
What if your wedding wasn’t just one day, but the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure? This is a question I hear from so many of my couples, especially the ones flying halfway across the world to get married. When you’re already making a trip this big, the last thing you want is a wedding day […]
A luxury South Africa safari elopement sounds incredible, but for most couples, the questions come pretty quickly. Where do you go? How does the day actually flow? And what parts are handled for you versus what you need to plan from afar? That’s why I ultimately love these packages so much. Because luxury safari elopement […]
