After exchanging vows in Chicago, Maureen + Chad spent a few weeks in Kenya on an African Safari! What an amazing place to go for a honeymoon!! I love that they even had their photographers (Nordica Photography) join them to capture photos of them on their honeymoon and then even in their wedding attire! A bit more about their adventure from Maureen:
Our days were simple: we spent the early mornings leisurely driving through the tall dew drenched grasses admiring the sunrise and the stillness, and long afternoons under the African sun eagerly searching for wild animals. The nights were filled with African dancing, plenty of laughter and storytelling by the fire. Our African wedding photos captured our love affair with foreign countries, and allow us to remember our beginning as man and wife. Our love for each other is obsessive and consuming; our wedding day and honeymoon was a beautiful yet simple representation of us.
Thanks so much to Nordica Photography for sharing this absolultey amazing honeymoon with us! Going to Africa on a safari is definitely on Jason’s and my bucket list! :)
They stayed in the luxury tents at Mara Explorer in Maasi Mara, Africa

Man, what an amazing adventure. I’m jealous. I love that they brought their wedding attire to take some photos. What a great idea. The Photo with the groom and bride holding the grass is my favorite.
Unique and really adventurous…I love the idea, I’m amazed by the photo session so…congrats!!!!
Just blew me away – amazing location, couple, photographers, clothing – it surely couldn’t get better than this?! And the last photo – INCREDIBLE!
Oh my heaven!! I love the lion and carcass, the giraffe peek and the old fashioned b/w car shot!!
This idea to take your photographer along for such an incredible honeymoon is brilliant. Thanks for sharing – just loved everything about it.

It’s “Maasai Mara,”, Kenya, to be specific.
Maasai Mara is just exceptional. It is ideally one of the most visited places in Kenya. This was a beautiful wedding I must say. I also have to say, the photographer of the day did a rewarding job. I love each and every detail
That. is. beautiful. What a breathtaking and momentous photoshoot, I love it. I’m planning on going there too for my honeymoon, I’m so inspired!
amazing! dream honeymoon.
I wish I would have brought my wedding dress with me to my honeymoon in South Africa or hired a photographer. What a great idea to capture those unique & special moments!
Amazing!!!
