The Story:

Casey & Dan – both professionals in the advertising field and living and working in India – wanted nothing more than a happy wedding day filled with only the closest of family and their very best friends. It was to be sophisticated but not formal and memorable in ways that reflected themselves as a couple – they sought the perfect setting, the very best food, an excellent selection of wine and a great social atmosphere which afforded them the time to be with their guests as much as possible. We therefore opted for a working wine farm on the outskirts of the Cape Winelands which offered a setting that was not manicured but definitely charming. A Bedouin tent that spoke of informal hospitality, tables which were laid out to be social and food that was not only “to die for” but that encouraged interaction. Their flowers were vibrant and echoed their love of life. The music was staggered and offered something for all ages at the right stage of the evening. Essentially when one speaks of not one element but the day as a whole – it all worked simply perfectly and their wedding photos are testimony!
