Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Firstly, The Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, nestled in the heart of Rapid City, served as the perfect venue for Ashley and Nic’s wedding. With its towering ceiling and intricate stained glass windows, the cathedral provided a grand and sacred setting. The natural light streaming through the colorful windows added a heavenly glow, enhancing the ethereal atmosphere of this special day!

Justin Straw Designs did an incredible job bringing the couple’s vision to life. Drawing inspiration from the season, the decor featured rich, jewel-toned florals complemented by lush greenery and delicate white accents, which perfectly mirrored the gorgeous landscape outside. The aisle was adorned with stunnig flower arrangements, leading to a grand altar elegantly decorated with warm candlelight, setting a romantic ambiance.
Unforgettable Moments
Overall, Ashley and Nic’s winter wedding was filled with countless memorable moments! From the emotional exchange of vows echoing through the cathedral to the joyous celebration that followed, love and happiness were palpable in the air. The couple’s first dance was a showstopper, with the cathedral’s high ceilings accentuating the elegance of their movements.

It was an honor to capture such a meaningful celebration that will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration for many couples planning their big day!
Kind Words
“I cannot praise Wandering Wilde Media (Sarah and Isaac Grassel) enough! From the very start, Sarah was so attentive and professional. Nic and I completed questionnaires to help her get to know us, but Sarah went the extra mile and I thoroughly enjoyed our coffee dates to brainstorm and discuss all the extra details for our engagement shoot and wedding day! We felt so comfortable during our sessions because she took the time to get to know and understand us and the love we have for each other, which you can definitely see in our photos and wedding video – which are STUNNING by the way!!
Sarah went above and beyond, and even went to a dress fitting with me so that she could help with my bustle. As a bride living across the U.S, far and away from all of her family and friends, this truly meant the world. Isaac is so fun and was such a joy! He helped calm my nerves by keeping me laughing throughout the day, despite the freezing wind trying to take my veil away! The two of them together are seriously the bee’s knees and they work so well with each other! Do not skip out on the videography – I’m so glad I added this on before our special day!!! Hopefully we will have a family in the future, and Sarah and Isaac will be able to continue capturing all the special moments throughout our lives!”
