If you’re looking for inspiration for a relaxed, heartfelt, and unforgettable country wedding, Michaela and David’s special day at Overstory Country Retreat in Gretyon is everything and more. This wasn’t just any wedding, it was the very first wedding hosted at Overstory, and it set the bar sky-high.
This new wedding venue in Greyton made the perfect backdrop for a weekend celebration filled with love and personal touches. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this was going to be something truly unique.
What made Michaela and David’s wedding so memorable wasn’t just the breathtaking setting—it was the community spirit that infused every part of the day. This was a destination wedding in Greyton that felt more like a family reunion. Friends and loved ones came together, not just to witness a union, but to create it.
The décor, made with love by the couple’s inner circle. Michaela made all the vases herself in pottery class.
The wedding cake was decorated by friends.Her makeup by her sister.This wasn’t about flashy trends or Pinterest-perfect moments, it was about authenticity, intention, and joy.
Michaela and David wanted a wedding that reflected who they are, not what tradition dictated. David wore a kilt to honour his Scottish roots, bringing a touch of heritage and individuality to the day. Michaela, stood beneath a chuppah, that had been used in other family weddings, and a nod to her Jewish background, blending cultures and stories in the most beautiful way.
The ceremony took place outdoors, it was simple, sacred, and full of meaning.
Overstory Country Retreat isn’t your average wedding venue. This hidden gem in the Western Cape offers something truly special for couples wanting an intimate, nature-filled celebration. With its warm, rustic charm and welcoming hosts, it’s no wonder Michaela and David chose it as the place to say “I do.”
As a photographer, it’s days like these that remind me why I love what I do. Every frame told a story, from the laughter of friends setting up handmade décor to the personal speeches done under the stars.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s relaxed, meaningful, and full of soul, a country wedding in Greyton might just be the perfect fit.
Thank you Michaela and David for including me in this beautiful celebration!
