Cassie & Maddox’s Rip Van Winkle Wedding

Rip Van Winkle is super sentimental to Cassie & Maddox since one of their earliest dates was there! I could tell they had gone on many dates there because they had so many spots around the property that had special memories for them and we got to make so many great images at so many of them.
I also loved how they went the extra mile to make their Rip Van Winkle wedding day so personal to them. So many little touches come to mind between Cassie’s dad making their ceremony arch; to the Polaroid seating chart with the table names matching places they had traveled together. My personal favorite was their new spin on the tosses. Cassie threw a stuffed dog, with the winner being the next to adopt a dog, while Maddox threw a stuffed plant with that winner being the next to get a new plant.
Cassie & Maddox met while working together through 4-H. My first exposure to photography was through 4-H! I even got to see my own 4-H agents I had while growing up as guests at their wedding! I couldn’t help but slip a little 4-leaf clover into their details. It felt like such a special full-circle moment.
