BONA BONA GAME LODGE – A WILDLY IN LOVE WEDDING
When Ashley and Tian tied the knot at the breathtaking Bona Bona Game Lodge, it wasn’t just a wedding—it was an unforgettable celebration of love set against the untamed beauty of the South African bush. Their weekend wedding was filled with heartwarming moments, laughter, and a deep connection to nature, making it a day their friends, family, and I will cherish forever.
A Love Rooted in Adventure
Ashley and Tian’s love story is one for the books. Their journey to “I do” began with an extraordinary engagement shoot at Bona Bona, where Ashley’s passion for wildlife led us on a thrilling adventure. Chasing rhinos to capture the perfect shot was not just a highlight of the shoot but also a testament to Ashley and Tian’s adventurous spirits.
Choosing Bona Bona Game Lodge for both their engagement session and wedding day was a seamless decision. The lodge’s wild landscapes, open skies, and natural elegance provided the perfect backdrop for a love as vibrant and untamed as theirs.
A Weekend Wedding in the Wild
Ashley and Tian’s wedding was more than just a day; it was an entire weekend of celebration. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple embraced every moment, whether it was under the sun or dancing through the rain. The lodge’s serene atmosphere and awe-inspiring views made every second feel magical.
The ceremony took place in the heart of the bush, with breathtaking vistas as the backdrop to their vows. Their reception was equally stunning, blending the rustic charm of the venue with the warmth of their love and laughter.
A Bridal Vision
Ashley’s bridal look was nothing short of extraordinary. She wore a gorgeous gown from The Bridal House, which perfectly complemented her radiant personality. The dress’s elegant design flowed effortlessly, making her the epitome of grace and beauty.
Her hair and makeup, skillfully done by Kaylee Hopwood, added a touch of timeless glamour, enhancing Ashley’s natural glow. Every detail came together seamlessly, creating a look that was breathtakingly Vogue-worthy.
