What an incredible adventure it was to photograph Rachel and Richard at their unique and exciting West Midlands Safari Park Wedding! As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I've seen my share of beautiful venues, but this one truly stood out.

Rachel and Richard's special day was filled with such personality, perfectly blending their love story with the park's amazing attractions. We had an absolute blast incorporating the Adventure Theme Park, the prehistoric wonders of Dinosaur World, and even some of the amusement rides into their photos.

Imagine capturing beautiful portraits with a backdrop of incredible wildlife and then, moments later, candid shots of pure joy on a thrilling ride! It was an absolute dream for creative photography.

It was an honour for Shaun, of Your Big Day Photography, to be there to capture every single smile, laugh, and loving glance. The joy and excitement of the day were truly infectious, and Rachel and Richard were simply radiant.

Wedding Photographer FAQ

What makes Safari Park wedding photography different?

Rachel and Richard’s gallery combines the emotion of a wedding with the character of an unusual venue. Ceremony moments and confetti sit alongside wildlife surroundings, Dinosaur World, amusement rides and a carousel portrait. A documentary wedding photography approach lets those distinctive elements become part of the story without losing sight of the couple and their guests.

How can couples plan Safari Park photographs?

Tell your photographers which attractions, people and moments matter most, then place them within a realistic wedding schedule. Allowing enough time between the ceremony and reception creates room for creative portraits while keeping the day relaxed. Review the wedding photography timeline guide and learn how natural wedding moments are captured.

When should we book Safari Park photography?

Availability depends on your exact wedding date, so it is sensible to enquire once the safari park and date are confirmed. An early discussion gives you time to explain the attractions you hope to include and the balance you want between adventurous portraits and candid coverage. Read when to book your wedding photographer and browse the Wedding Photographer Resources.
