Amber and Isaac’s engagement video slideshow – South Dakota Wedding Photography

Mike — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:36:18 +0000

Whenever Isaac used to come see Amber at the studio, you would see her face light up. Amber just has to think about Isaac and she gets a smile on her face. That’s love if I’ve ever seen it.

We did a few pictures of Amber and Isaac long before he proposed at Lake Herman State Park. Those were cool, but this time it was for real – engagement pictures. We started at their future home. The mosquitoes were ravenous and feasted on photographer as their main course. Before going inside the studio in Rutland, we had some fun outside. In town the bugs were not as bad.

They make a cute couple. What do you think?

Brian & Amanda’s Engagement Slideshow

Mike — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:33:04 +0000

Amber has been very busy putting together video slideshows. Her sister, Amanda and her fiance Brian are featured in her lastest creation. Watching the slideshow, I can tell you that I really miss seeing green outside. The fresh white snow is beautiful but with snow comes cold and I’m not used to it yet.

Kevin & Audrey’s Engagement Pictures

Mike — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:11:04 +0000

We just knew something was up at Aaron and Kirstin’s wedding on Labor Day weekend. Kevin was way too happy and animated to be considered “normal” behavior. He had a secret mission for that weekend and Audrey found was the reason.

Here are a few images from their engagement session.

Brian & Amanda’s Engagement Pictures

Mike — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:51:37 +0000

We’ve been waiting on these two for a while, wondering not if but when. Sometimes you can tell when a couple is made for each other. That’s the way it is with Brian and Amanda. The downside is that we can’t pick on Jeff any more for “news” from the girls.

Amber was a big help with her sister’s engagement pictures. We caught the sunset at the perfect time because of her.

Marshall Minnesota Wedding Photography: Mathew & Kristi

Here’s a few images from Mathew and Kristi’s engagement session. We are still playing with what formats will work best for posting images in the new blog.

Ryan & Krista Signature Mat – Flandreau SD Wedding Photography

Mike — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:22:34 +0000

We’ve been very busy the past few weeks and posting to the blog has sufferred. Stay tuned for a flury of updates.

Krista and Ryan came to the studio last night for their engagement session. Late afternoon drizzle looked like it would cause us to postpone, but the clouds went away by 6:30 and we were good to go.

Here’s Ryan and Krista’s signature mat image. We will have a very cool guest book ready for them in a few weeks.

Wedding Photography Signature Mats

Mike — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 05:48:18 +0000

We’ve made a couple of changes in the way we do our engagement sessions.

As part of our wedding packages, we used to give a complimentary engagement session and one 5×7. No more. The 5×7 is going away. We are now doing 16×20 signature mats instead of the 5×7.

How’s that for cool.

There is only one condition on the 16×20 signature mat: you MUST put it out for the guests to sign.

Why?

We had several couples buy a signature mat print, only to decide at the last minute that it was too nice for the guests to write on.

Kendra & Jerae engagement

Mike — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:52:10 +0000

We thought we’d share an image from Kendra & Jerae’s engagement session. Their wedding is coming up next month in Madison and we have so much work to do.

Taking all the pictures is easy. It’s the computer work that gets in the way of sleeping. In two more months the rush will be over and we can rest up, but for now the old saying goes “You have to make hay when the sun shines!”

Russell & Kindra engagement

Mike — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 00:05:14 +0000

We went to Russell’s farm to take his and Kindra’s engagement pictures.

We wandered the farmyard and ended up by the old silo, in front of the old hoghouse, the deck by the back door of the house and we even managed to find a little green grass.

Engagements

Mike — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 04:56:55 +0000

It is the season for engagements. Sometimes a couple wants only a head and shoulders for the newspaper like this one of Jennifer and Nathan.

There is no limit to what we can put together these days: an image file for invitations, press printed folded cards, signature mats and even Vision Art albums for guestbooks. Yes, engagements can be more fun then ever before.
