Cortney & Dane

Do you remember, 21st night of September? 

-Earth, Wind & Fire


I remember, and it was spectacular. Cortney & Dane exchanged vows on a beautifully damp September evening. Would you believe it if I told you that it rained up until about forty-five minutes before the ceremony started? But magically, the couple was blessed with the most magnificent sunkissed outdoor ceremony at the estate of the bride's parents.


The reception was held at Butterfield Country Club. Their guest dance the night away to Opal Staples & Jay Funk.


Thank you for letting me be a part of this day! Enjoy your honeymoon in South Africa ☺️
