Knysna Indigenous Forest, South Africa Elopement Photo Story Award

The chapel was situated in the indigenous forest of South Africa

The bride and groom exchanged their heartfelt vows in an outdoor ceremony under the shade of the trees, creating a picturesque and intimate setting for their small wedding at the chapel situated in the indigenous forest

The chapel was situated in the indigenous forest. This is the couple exchanging vows. I used the forest to add some context to this beautiful setting.

They decided on a small, intimate elopement wedding in the heart of the indigenous Knysna forest.  Their small group of family and friends were treated to 5-star food and hospitality during their stunning, luxurious wedding day.  Although is was raining, their love and joy never subsided.

The bride's dog who came all the way from Johannesburg for the big day, looks up at the beautiful bride. I love how the dog and the texture of the dress seems to feel the same.
