Doris and Sam’s Kenya elopement is hands-down one of the most adventurous, exhilarating, and culturally diverse weddings we’ve had the honor of featuring on our blog! The couple spent their first day exploring the Sopa Resort at Lake Navaisha, where they encountered wild birds, giraffes, and zebras before hopping in a Land Cruiser for a safari tour through the Masai Mara Game Reserve. On the second day, they ventured out into the desert with a group of Maasai tribe members for a traditional Kenyan ceremony on the grounds of Governor’s Camp that included an ornate beaded collar worn by the bride, a jumping ritual performed by the groom, and a special blessing from the tribe’s elders. It’s hard to put into words the pure magic of this elopement, so we’ll let these phenomenal photographs captured by Tu Nguyen Wedding tell the full story. The Couple:
Doris and Sam
The Wedding:
Governor’s Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya

From the photographer’s blog: “Sam and Doris could totally share the same vivid wanderlust feeling toward Mara as me – You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or It could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back, you climbed a summit mountain. Or got married in Kenya, somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, with your best friend, surrounded by lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos and rhinos.”
