Hey love - I’m June, Founder of June Richards Photography
& Wild River Adventure Elopements
If you know me, you would know that I’m extremely passionate about my couples. I am an extroverted, people’s person with a whole lot of love and a huge adventurer at heart.
My love for nature and wildlife forms a BIG part of my work, and being an empath creates a sacred space for my couples to be authentically themselves whilst I get to create ART, that speaks volumes about the beautiful creation that surrounds us.
Before I became a Wedding & Elopement photographer I owned a Brand Development Company that crafted people’s dream brands and brought them to life. My passion for design and being creative started very early on. throughout my "photography as a hobby" journey I realized that seeing the world and photographing beautiful people in magnificent places was becoming my dream - and so my business was born.
I photographed Traditional weddings for the better part of 7 years before I realised that Adventure Elopements were what I wanted to specialise in. Combining my love for people, adventure + the earth.
Now, I am a full-time destination wedding photographer based in South Africa, specializing in Luxury Safari Elopements & Adventure Elopements worldwide.

Let's craft your dream experience together
"Adventure is what you make it. And whether it's the travel,
the discovery or just the feeling of letting go, the only way we'll ever find out is to get out there and do it."

Kind Words
“...but also have us right in the centre of pure comfort and ease all the way through the whole process”
Ive taken a full week to try put together a review that actually does justice explaining just how incredible our elopement journey was with you. So much so that we have already started planning some more ceremonies within different cultures around our country and would love nothing more than to have you a part of them all. You are such a light and make it incredibly easy to not only make one of the most special days of our lives a reality, but also have us right in the centre of pure comfort and ease all the way through the whole process. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our love so perfectly and for creating a space for us that honestly made us feel like royalty. Thank you Thank you Thank You. All our love
