lion king

In celebration of The Lion King out in theaters today, we’re thrilled to share an inspired interpretation of a wedding fit for a king! Jaime at Autumn Nomad is truly a jack of all trades. She spearheaded the design details, as well as the food, spirits, and cake—a true, jaw-dropping work of art. Here’s a quick peek into the inspiration behind the shoot:

After our Alice in Wonderland and Aladdin shoots, we wanted to bring the spirit of  The Lion King and Africa to the wedding world! We found inspiration from both the film (adding as many subtle details as possible) and Africa as a whole. From shooting the couple in the cornfields and paying tribute to Africa’s rich agriculture to a “bug grub” menu inspired by Moroccan food and real, edible bugs. As it’s wedding season, we all worked late into the evenings and had so much fun creating and styling the shoot in only 5 days!

The Pumbaa to Jaime’s Timon, Cody James Barry Photography was there to capture every detail—of which there are a LOT. Pay attention, because just like any proper Disney movie, the Easter eggs are not to be missed!
