We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

Debra Aslanidis Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Castana, IA
  • Offer

We specialize in documentary-style micro weddings and elopements, which means we focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Instead of staging or posing moments, we observe and photograph the real, unscripted emotions, connections, and intimate details that make your celebration unique. Our goal is to tell your love story authentically, preserving the genuine moments that reflect the true essence of your special day.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

Mae Krell Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mae was incredibly thorough and took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. She asked thoughtful questions and used a variety of communication methods like email, Zoom calls, and text messages to keep us informed and make the process seamless. On the day of the wedding, Mae's positive and calming presence was exactly what we needed when things didn't go exactly as planned. Her creativity and talent shone through, as she captured so many special moments we didn't even realize were happening. The final photos are absolute perfection - precise, organized, and beyond excellent. I am thrilled that Mae was our photographer and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Maurissa is outgoing and friendly! She was responsive in communication in the beginning. Maurissa made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure we got every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We loved the photos Maurissa took of us, but there was a bit of delay in getting them all.
