From Nina Wernicke
The inspiration behind the shoot came from a contemporary version of ‘Out Of Africa.’ I recently relocated to South Africa from London (and now divide my time across Africa and Europe), So I was keen to enjoy the new environment fully. We were in search of an area in the natural bush, untamed and unmanicured.
We wanted to use African colors and textures in every aspect of the shoot, including The stationery, favors, flowers, cakes, and jewelry. We incorporated dried flowers and spikes of porcupine, cotton leather, and antelope horns to ensure the shoot reflected Africa.
The shoot focused on three distinct parts of the wedding day: the bridal appearance (a mixture of the boudoir look and getting dressed), The ‘ceremony’, and the reception’.
In the first segment of the shoot, the model wore the dress in lace that she wore. The ceremony was formal, so we requested that she wear a basic and flowing skirt. We were in nature for the segment (spot that giraffe in the background). We required her to wear something effortless, relaxed, flowing, and comfortable to move around in. The goal of the third outfit was for it to be elegant and stylish; she wore a custom golden gown to complete the look. The color was burnt orange, which brought all three looks together.
The models are Dineo as well as her actual husband, Philip. It’s rare to meet couples from diverse cultures on the streets of South Africa today; sadly, this is why these two are more remarkable to us.
