Rip Van Winkle Wedding: A Celebration of Love
Rip Van Winkle is super sentimental to Cassie & Maddox since one of their earliest dates was there! Their Rip Van Winkle wedding day was personal and filled with special memories. I could tell they had gone on many dates there because they had so many spots around the property that had significance for them. We captured many great images at these locations.
I also loved how they went the extra mile to make their Rip Van Winkle wedding day so personal. So many little touches come to mind between Cassie’s dad making their ceremony arch to the Polaroid seating chart with table names matching places they 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.
We had a dream team for this Rip Van Winkle wedding day! Working with my friend Kerri of Threaux Events is always a treat for me and she got through the whole day injured in a boot! She’s a rockstar.
Rodney of Flowers by Rodney knocked it out of the park with a beautiful fall palette that went with the blend of different bridesmaid dresses perfectly!
Wildflower Hair and Makeup made everyone look lovely!
Between Bon Temps Grill, Gambinos, Pouparts & Meche’s we were well fed.
Acro Music Strings brought beauty to the ceremony while Digital Music Services brought the dance party for later in the night.
And I know that Brittany with Dirk Guidry Studio made them such a beautiful keepsake for their live Rip Van Winkle wedding painting!
This Rip Van Winkle wedding was filled with personal touches and memories that made the day unforgettable.
Cassie had such sweet things to say about our time working together…
“If you are looking for a wedding photographer in South Louisiana (or anywhere, honestly), Hannah Herpin should be your top choice! She is an extremely talented photographer that can make the most awkward people look fantastic (trust me). Her photographs are done in a timeless style, she is comprehensive in her photography, and most of all, she is a lovely person who makes everyone feel comfortable. Whether you want traditional/classic wedding photos, something completely unconventional, or a combination of the two, Hannah is your girl.
I cannot emphasize this enough, BOOK HER!”
