Liz Gunn, Blair Drummond marketing manager, said: “The wedding party had planned to visit the safari park the day after the wedding and the mother-of-the pride asked if there was anything we could do to make the visit a little special. We were delighted to help.”
The bride and groom arrived at Blair Drummond in full wedding dress and spent time feeding the giraffes.
The special moment was captured on camera by safari park operations supervisor Dave Warren.
He said: “It’s not every day that we have a visitor at the park in her wedding dress!
“Everybody was very pleased to help put together this special experience for the happy couple.”
