You know we’re suckers for animals at weddings. Llamas, puppies and horses have all popped up in our feed, and we can never resist those sweet, furry faces. But today, we’re sharing a boho editorial that showcases animal connection + inspiration like never before. Introducing, the Tiger Experience.
The Tiger Experience is a real sanctuary for big cats, based in Venice, Italy. Lions, tigers, cougars, panthers + leopards roam free, living safe + happy lives in the special care of the association founder.
Kelly with Kelly Berry Photography, who teamed up with Ema Giangreco Weddings, describes the passion behind this inspirational editorial: The foundation of a good marriage is built on trust, love, + connection. This project was built on those simple words and tells the story of both husband & wife, and man & the wild. For years, we have been told stories of man and his connection to the wild; we wanted to bring that to light. The impact we can have on changing the minds and thoughts of what social norm is, and expressing true connection + trust is the mission.
Ready to let love roar? Let’s take a look:
