Tyler and Jill – 08.06.10

We love doing local weddings where we know the couple. Jill and Tyler were married Friday in St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Madison. St. Thomas has a beautiful sanctuary and Father Bob is cool to work with. After the ceremony we went over to Memorial Park for a few pictures of the wedding party and the real limo. Jeremy, owner of DJ Jer, was at the Dakota Prairie Playhouse for the reception. Jeremy is one of our favorite DJ’s to work with. Here are a few images taken from their wedding reception slideshow.

Ben and Andrea – 07.24.2010

Ben and Andrea were married in Winfred SD. Now there isn’t much in Winfred. It’s only been in the news because of a recycling center being cleaned up by the county and the occasional fire at the honey plant. The church is very cool from the outside and thanks to air conditioning, cool on the inside too. We started in the church for Ben and Andrea’s first moments and then went outside. After the ceremony, Andrea wanted some fun outside pictures of the bridal party near a pasture in the Vermillion Hills south of Winfred. We are used to going down the road less traveled, but we knew this was a bit different when everyone stopped and hopped into pickups for the last stretch of road.

Here are a few images taken from their reception slideshow of their wedding day.

Kendra & Jerae engagement

8 23 07 NDX 0245 Kendra & Jerae engagementWe 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

8 01 07 NDX 2246sep Russell & Kindra engagementWe 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.
