Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Tanzania
Wedding and Elopement Photography Service.

Are you searching for a Wedding or Event photographer in Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Tanzania?

I have been covering over 170 Weddings since July 2014, I can say that I am full of advice and help for your big day.

My couples are similar and so different at the same time. I would say that they have certain similar characteristics, they prefer to spend time with their families and friends rather than spending an hour taking the couple photos, they are usually shy, they don’t feel at ease to be the center of the attention, they have a certain knowledge about art, sometimes photography and painting.

Do you want to have an intimate wedding in Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Tanzania that reflects your journey as a couple, your passions, and your spirit of adventure?  

This is elopement photography for couples who want to ignore tradition and get married in a way that feels authentic to them. As a photographer, my purpose is to discreetly capture the story of your day in an honest and heartfelt way, without posing or intruding. I will record every aspect, from the raw emotions and poignant moments as they unfold, to the details you won’t want to forget.

I care deeply about creating meaningful connections with every couple who invites me to be a part of their journey. My approach is to innovate, not to conform to conventions. Your elopement experience should be as personal, genuine, and unique as you are.

Emotional Photographer documenting emotional Weddings.

Since July 2014, I document your intimate wedding, your Minimony, Sequel Wedding, Micro wedding or Adventurous Elopement, proposal, and engagement and I have seen a lot of love stories, full of joy and emotions. It has a lot of different names but only the story matters. I am moved by telling the story of your day in the most natural and genuine way possible. No need to spend one hour behind the church with me to take the couple photographs, I will always value letting you spend time with family and friends. This is your day, not mine.

Most of my couples define themselves as shy in front of the camera, I believe simply they don’t know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from getting ready to the dance floor in the most natural way possible. To deliver a poetic and unique vision of the most important day of your life.
I have a lot of experience and expertise in traveling around Europe mostly. For the last 6 years, I have covered most of my weddings abroad and overseas.


I believe I can help you with my experience and advice for a perfect wedding day. I have prepared some articles to help you to find the right place to get married or to be inspired in some places like Spain, The Balearic Islands such as Ibiza, Mallorca,… Mexico, Morocco and of course Portugal. I have also written an article about the most underrated locations in Europe to have your small and intimate wedding with friends.

A bit of History about Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Tanzania.


 

The Serengeti (/ˌsɛrənˈɡɛti/ SERR-ən-GHET-ee) ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa, spanning northern Tanzania. The protected area within the region includes approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) of land, including the Serengeti National Park and several game reserves. The Serengeti hosts the second largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and as one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.

The Serengeti is also renowned for its large lion population and is one of the best places to observe prides in their natural environment. Approximately 70 large mammal and 500 bird species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats, including riverine forests, swampskopjesgrasslands, and woodlandsBlue wildebeestgazelleszebras, and buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region.

The Serengeti also contains the Serengeti District of Tanzania. There has been controversy about a proposal to build a road through the Serengeti.

The name "Serengeti" is often said to be derived from the word "seringit" in the Maasai languageMaa, meaning "endless plains".[dubious – discuss] However, this etymology does not appear in Maa dictionaries.

Much of the Serengeti was known to outsiders as Maasailand. The Maasai are known as fierce warriors and live alongside most wild animals with an aversion to eating game and birds, subsisting exclusively on their cattle. Historically, their strength and reputation kept the newly arrived Europeans from exploiting the animals and resources of most of their land. A rinderpest epidemic and drought during the 1890s greatly reduced the numbers of both Maasai and animal populations. The Tanzanian government later in the 20th century re-settled the Maasai around the Ngorongoro Crater. Poaching and the absence of fires, which had been the result of human activity, set the stage for the development of dense woodlands and thickets over the next 30–50 years. Tsetse fly populations now prevented any significant human settlement in the area.

By the mid-1970s, wildebeest and the Cape buffalo populations had recovered and were increasingly cropping the grass, reducing the amount of fuel available for fires. The reduced intensity of fires has allowed acacia to once again become established.

In the 21st century, mass rabies vaccination programmes for domestic dogs in the Serengeti have not only indirectly prevented hundreds of human deaths, but also protected wildlife species such as the endangered African wild dog.

Tanzania, oficialmente la República Unida de Tanzania (en suajili Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania; en idioma inglésUnited Republic of Tanzania),6 es un país situado en la costa este de África Central. Limita al norte con Kenia y Uganda, al oeste con RuandaBurundi, la República Democrática del Congo, al sur con ZambiaMalaui (con el que mantiene una reclamación territorial sobre el lago Malaui), Mozambique y al este con el océano Índico. Su capital es Dodoma. El nombre del país proviene de la unión de las palabras «Tanganica» y «Zanzíbar». La actual República Unida de Tanzania nació el 26 de abril de 1964 cuando Tanganica, que había formado la colonia alemana del África Oriental Alemana y luego pasó a manos británicas al finalizar la Primera Guerra Mundial, se independizó el 9 de diciembre de 1961 y la República de Zanzíbar, la cual logró su independencia el 10 de diciembre de 1963 de la coróna británica, decidieron unirse en un solo Estado.

Tanzania se caracteriza, diferenciándose así de sus vecinos, por su resistencia a la dominación colonial británica y por no reconocer al inglés como lengua oficial. En cambio el país ha impulsado una serie de reformas que si bien faltan por completar; plantea un Estado independiente propio, autónomo y soberano basado en los valores africanos, de allí la importancia del suajili como única lengua oficial como forma de unir al pueblo tanzano».

Tanzania es un país de África del este de una superficie de 947 300 km².3 Los países limítrofes son al norte Kenia y Uganda, al oeste Ruanda, Burundi y la República Democrática del Congo y al sur Zambia, Malawi y Mozambique. Vista desde el nivel del mar, Tanzania forma una meseta de unos 1000 metros de altitud que se extiende hasta los lagos Malaui y Tanganica que parte desde el valle del Gran Rift, que comprende los lagos NatronEyasi y Manyara que separa la cadena de montañas del norte, dominada por el Kilimanjaro, cerca de la frontera con Kenia.

Las condiciones climáticas semiáridas del norte y la presencia de la mosca tsé-tsé en las regiones del centro y del oeste ha conducido a la población a agruparse en el resto del país.

En la región de Arusha que está en el norte de Tanzania, podemos ver los restos del cráter del Ngorongoro. El cráter Ngorongoro, con forma de caldera, formado hace 2500 millones de años, se ha hecho famoso debido a que con su diámetro de 20 km y su superficie alrededor de los 300 km² es un paraíso natural, un arca de Noé ecuatorial donde las condiciones climáticas permiten a los animales habitar durante todo el año, desde los hipopótamos hasta los flamencos rosas que habitan en el cercano lago Makat.

El centro del país está constituido por una meseta bañada por los ríos que desembocan en el este, en el océano Índico. La fachada marítima del país está formada por una llanura costera en la que encontramos el archipiélago de Zanzíbar formado por tres islas principales: UngujaPemba y Mafia.

En Tanzania encontramos numerosos volcanes pero solo uno de ellos está activo, el Oi Onyo Legaï. La montaña más alta es el Kilimanjaro, ya mencionado antes, que también es un volcán y el monte más alto de toda África.
