This Vintage Safari Bridal shoot in and around the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, Arizona was an indescribable experience. We had a fun and creative team that all pulled together to make this happen and we couldn’t be happier with this Inspirational shoot. We decided to drive out to Camp Verde, Arizona from Phoenix to capture the perfect scenery for a vintage safari, giving us amazing wild desert, old dry trees, and even a Wildlife Park where we captured Giraffes, snakes and from a distance saw Lions.
The best thing for Raeleen and I while shooting, was the details in every aspect of the day. We had the perfect desert themed cake, cupcakes designed to show off the animals of the Safari, lanterns for the wedding site, and so much more. Check out the pictures, the detail are stunning, and everything pulls together the theme of the desert safari. All shades of browns and whites, the purples in the bouquet, golds in the jewelry and even colors accented in the scenes that come out from the Off-road Safari Mercedes, the river, and the patches of green that pepper the desert grass.
To make this all come together in the end, we had the fabulous opportunity to work with some of the best local Arizona talent, whose work and details really made this shoot shine. Check out who all contributed to the shoot at the end of this post. Thank you all again!
A special thanks to Alicia French from The Charity Wedding for all of her support throughout the process.
