Cassy and Jason

On Saturday, April 2nd, Ashley and I photographed Cassy and Jason's wedding in Ida Grove, IA. Ida Grove is known as Castle Town. Everything in the city is castle themed. From the first businesses along the main highway to the Ida Grove Courier and even the Blimpie's, it used to be a Blimpie's anyway. Not only that but a house along the main highway had a full size pirate ship in a lagoon surrounding the home....it's on my list of things I'd like to have one day.


The weather was fantastic for an early April wedding and could turn out to be the nicest day we've had thus far. The downside to early April is that nothing has really bloomed yet so it still looks like fall in most places. All you have to do is be a little creative and there are places everywhere to take photos. We spent the majority of the day with Cassy, Jason, friends, and family. Everyone was amazing to work with and things went as smooth as they can.


We did encounter some craziness at the church. A new church is being built directly behind the current church. The current church has exactly 1 three pronged outlet. Which at first wasn't working. All of our studio lighting is three pronged. Luckily a recent purchase of a Vagabond Mini Lithium allowed us portable power when the church wasn't providing any. It was a nice save the day moment. (even though we had a plan b, c, and d.)


We shot at local Moorehead and Cobb park's in Ida Grove as well as near some downtown structures that provided a great background. The combination of the backdrops and Cassy and Jason's photo-oriented attitude made for some great photos. You can find all of our favorites below!
