Cassidy + Trevor Wedding Film

Some weddings feel like the start of something new. Others—like Cassidy and Trevor’s—feel like the beautiful continuation of a story that’s been in the works for years. Their wedding day was a testament not only to their love but to the long journey that began when they were just kids riding the same school bus in Hermantown.

The day began with a simple but powerful ceremony, filled with anticipation as Cassidy entered, radiant and smiling. Their officiant, John Faegre—a close family friend—set the tone by reminding everyone how far Cassidy and Trevor’s story goes back. From locker conversations in Hermantown High School to Trevor joking that he’d propose in ten years (a promise he actually kept), the ceremony carried an extra weight of nostalgia.

One of the most memorable touches came when Cassidy and Trevor pressed their handprints into clay—a keepsake that will last a lifetime. As the officiant teased, “Look how well they’re already cooperating in their soon-to-be marriage,” the guests filled with laughter and love.

Scripture was read from 1 Corinthians, the classic “love chapter,” before Cassidy and Trevor exchanged vows and rings. With the words, “I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the crowd erupted into cheers, celebrating the official start of their next chapter.

The reception was filled with heartfelt (and hilarious) stories. Trevor’s best man, Tyler—nicknamed one of the “Terrible T’s” when they were kids—spoke about growing up side by side. He recalled video game battles interrupted by Trevor’s texts to Cassidy, the girl who was stealing more and more of his best friend’s time. What started as playful jealousy turned into admiration as Tyler watched Trevor and Cassidy’s relationship grow from high school lockers to lifelong commitment.

Cassidy’s sister and maid of honor, Courtney, painted another side of the story. With humor and tenderness, she described their sibling rivalry—WWE takedowns in the living room and stolen clothes included—that eventually blossomed into best friendship. Her words captured just how deeply Cassidy has grown into the woman she is today, and how perfectly Trevor fits by her side.

Both speeches echoed the same truth: Cassidy and Trevor’s relationship is the real deal. It’s love rooted in friendship, humor, and unwavering support.

From heartfelt prayers for loved ones who couldn’t be present, to the laughter that rang out during the ceremony and the joyful energy of the reception, Cassidy and Trevor’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of who they are: high school sweethearts, best friends, and now, husband and wife.

As the evening turned to celebration, one thing was certain—this wasn’t just the start of a marriage. It was the fulfillment of a promise made years ago, and the beginning of an even brighter future together.

Whether you’re envisioning a timeless celebration at a northwoods golf resort, a lakeside gathering near Duluth, or a destination wedding that feels like a true adventure, your story deserves to be told with artistry and heart.

Cassidy + Trevor’s day at Giant’s Ridge was a reminder that every love story is one-of-a-kind, and capturing those moments is what we live for. Here’s to their forever, and to the beginning of yours.
