Farm Wedding in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal with Ross and Jenna

A celebration of nature and love. 

Ross and Jenna's wedding at their family farm in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal was a beautiful and unforgettable event.

The ceremony took place in an almost hidden forest, surrounded by trees and lush vegetation. The wedding party and guests walked through a path on the farm to the ceremony site, where they were greeted by a beautiful arch made of flowers and greenery. After the wedding ceremony, the guests enjoyed a cocktail hour while we explored the farm, forest area and tea tree plantations during the couple photo shoot. The greenery was incredible to use as backdrop!

The wedding reception was held on an open field under a tent with beautiful flowers and décor. Formalities, toasts and the intimate first dance followed, and everyone celebrated until late into the evening.

Here are some of the things that made Ross and Jenna's wedding so special:

  • The location: The wedding was held on the couple's family farm in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal. The farm is surrounded by the rolling hills of the area, trees, plants, and animals, creating a truly natural setting for the wedding.

  • The wedding was relaxed and informal, with a focus on enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings. The guests were able to walk around during pre-drinks and socialise with an incredible view of the rolling hills, forest, and tea tree plantations.

If you're planning an outdoor, green wedding, here are a few tips:

  • Choose a natural setting for your wedding. This could be a park, a garden, farm or even your own backyard. Make it personal!

  • Use sustainable materials for your decorations and flowers. Look for options that are made from recycled materials or that are grown locally.

  • Serve locally sourced food. This will help to reduce your carbon footprint and support local businesses.

  • Choose eco-friendly wedding favours. This could be anything from seed packets, reusable water bottles or ask the guests to take the table bouquets home.

Ross and Jenna's wedding was a beautiful and inspiring event. It showed that it is possible to have a stylish and fun wedding and celebrate the incredible environment and surroundings. I hope these images will inspire you to create your own memorable outdoor wedding experience.
