SOUTH AFRICAN ELEPHANT SAFARI | COUPLE SHOOT
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
'Oh Africa, you have my Heart!' ~ Me
I had an amazing weekend with this beautiful couple, Greg & Rime from France. Greg Finck is one of my favourite photographers and I have been following his work for a couple of years. Rime Arodaky, who's work I saw through Greg, is a very talented wedding dress designer (SA, you want her dresses here in SA - lets get her to come open up a showroom here)! We finally met in March and I can honestly say Greg & Rime are such an amazing couple, down to earth and just warm people. They came to South Africa to relax and see a bit of our beautiful country.
For their couple session we got to photograph them experiencing these gentle giants from Adventures with Elephants. These beautiful animals have been rescued after being called 'problem' elephants, but are living a peaceful life here at Adventures', and they are definitely not problem animals. Please go and visit their website or even their reserve to educate yourself on how lovely these giants are.
African safari elopement
Patrick & Caitlin are from New York, they're an adventurous couple who decided to elope while they visited South Africa. I had the honour of capturing their elopement at the Lion Sands River Lodge, the ceremony was held in a dry river bank with the beautiful backdrop of elephants gracing on the river bank! They also enjoyed their honeymoon night in a very romantic tree house over the Lion Sands Game Reserve.

About 2 weeks after the elopement, the last day of their trip, we went to one of my favourite places, Adventures with Elephants where we photographed Patrick and Caitlin with Chova the Elephant.
It is important to note that the second part of the shoot was shot on a different location AWE, the elephants are trained and have professionals on the shoot standing by.
