Gretta and Dan – 08.21.10

We were in Sioux Falls for Gretta and Dan’s wedding at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church next to the Augustana campus where Gretta is the head softball coach. It was in the high 90’s but that didn’t slow down Dan and Gretta from enjoying the day. Here a just a few images from their reception slideshow.

Patrick and TyLynn – 08.07.10

TyLynn and Patrick were married Saturday at St Michael’s Catholic Church in Sioux Falls. We started in the morning with pictures because of the 1:30 ceremony time. TyLynn loved taking pictures. After leaving St. Michael’s, we headed to Falls Park where we found a break in the yellow tape surrounding the water. Recent problems with the Sioux Falls sanitary sewer had caused the Big Sioux River to be off limits. After Falls Park, we went up to Tuthill Park and the formal gardens and gazebo. Running out of any more time for pictures, we joined the guests at the Ivy Room by the Century 21 theatres. DJ Jer again provided the music for the slideshow of the wedding day. Here are a few images taken from the slideshow.

Kacey

We headed south last week to photograph Kacey’s senior session starting at Falls Park in Sioux Falls. We used off camera flash and long lenses to isolate Kasey in front of the falls. We explored some of the more rustic areas of the park that turned out to be some of Kacey’s favorites. We finished up the session at the studio. Here are a few of our favorites. Watch for Kacey’s senior video slideshow next week.

Fun at the Falls!

Last Sunday found us in Sioux Falls scouting locations for Spring and Summer senior portrait sessions. We ended the day at Falls Park. We gave the camera over to the kids. Both Dacey and Rachel are awesome photographers talented beyond their years. We have conversations about depth of field and circles of confusion, leading lines and compression of telephotos lenses. Here are a few of their images.

Megan and Nathan had a glorious wedding day. Saturday was full of sunshine and blue skies and Friday’s wind was gone.

First Lutheran in Sioux Falls is a beautiful church. It’s full of tall stained glass windows and a huge organ in the balcony.

We started out with Nathan and Megan with their first moments in the church foyer.

We went outside for a few pictures and then headed inside.

First Lutheran’s front entrance is the perfect place for a silhouette.

Pat Gustaf and his staff did an incredible job of decorating the church for the ceremony.

We did a quick fun session with the couple and the whole bridal party at Falls Park.

On the way back to the limo, Dacey had Megan and Nathan turn around and captured this image of the tower and street lights decorated for Christmas.

All of these images were part of the reception slideshow.

Montrose South Dakota Wedding Photography: Jill & Drew

We traveled to Montrose Saturday to photograph Jill And Drew’s wedding. We love to take pictures at St. Patricks for two reasons. It has wonderful stained-glass windows and best of all on a hot day like yesterday, air conditioning.

After the ceremony, we did a quick session at Falls Park and then went on to the Holiday Inn for the reception.
