San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park Wedding Photos of Erin and Jon!
Wow what a unique wedding and venue! I have shot weddings at the awesome San Diego Safari Park but this new venue they added is stunning! The new Kijamii Overlook wedding venue is just the coolest place ever! Not only is the structure so cool and unique, it overlooks the valley where all the animals roam. So during the whole day and night, we were able to see the rhinos, giraffes, and so many unique, wild animals up close and watch their behavior. I think my favorite was at night in the dark you could hear the rhinos making these little noises and chomping away on a tree.
Erin and Jon planned a perfect event. They had a small ceremony in Central Park in New York City. Then had this reception for their 80 closest family and friends. The event was started off with a cocktail hour that was topped off with four animal encounters. This was so special to see the animals really up close. We weren’t allowed to touch them but they were close enough to reach out and touch if we were allowed. The cheetah was the highlight for all. After an amazing dinner of awesome food stations, there were the sweet traditional dances and then the full group were shuttled to the Mombasa Island Pavilion. This is where Erin and Jon cut their cake and danced the night away with the most amazing band. I highly recommend looking at this venue if you are wanting a unique venue that your guests will talk about for years to come!
