"I didn't know Africa would touch me so deeply," the Melbourne-based photographer wrote on his blog. "It sung to me in a way I didn't know possible, found new chords and played on strings I didn't know I had inside me."

In late September, Nina -- a wildlife photographer and senior marketing advisor to wild cat conservation organization Panthera -- and her fiancé Sebastian tied the knot in Masai Mara, Kenya in front of 60 of their closest friends and family.

According to the bride, the way that nature and the landscape were entwined in their celebration of love was nothing short of surreal and almost impossible to put into words. We'll allow the gorgeous photos below to do the talking:

In a blog post published on Once Wed on Monday, the bride detailed the many ways Mother Nature "was with [them] every moment of the wedding":

Approaching the ceremony site in our safari Land Rover, the clouds were building up to an unusually dramatic storm, yet on the other side of the horizon, the sky was perfectly blue and the sun was shining. As we walked down the aisle the white rose petals at the center of the ceremony had attracted a number of white butterflies that circled around us on the ground...At the end of the ceremony the sky was almost black. As we were walking back down the aisle and the Maasai started singing and jumping, a herd of wildebeest stormed across the savannah and the wind started blowing...Just as we got into our car, the sky opened and huge raindrops started falling. The groom wondered (as did some guests) whether the love of his life had made a deal with Mother Nature.
