Jerid and Jessica – 08.28.10
One from Jerid and Jessica’s wedding reception slideshow from yesterday’s wedding at Cornerstone United Methodist Church in Watertown SD. More to come later…
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.
Eic and Heather – 08.14.2010
Eric and Heather’s getaway transportation was a fire truck. How cool is that! We went just over the interstate to Flandreau to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. We had warm temps, a slight breeze and partly cloudy skies. Here are a few images taken from Eric and Heather’s wedding reception slideshow. Enjoy.
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.
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.
Derek and Kay – 07.31.2010
Kay was an exceptional bride…think really happy…on steriods. She was literally floating on joy for her First Moments with Derek. Here are a few of 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.
Mike and Jessica – 07.10.2010
We traveled to Vermillion SD for Mike and Jessica’s wedding. We’ve known the Mathison family for a long time – even before photography – so this wedding was extra fun for us. After the ceremony, we headed to Yankton and took pictures along the river before going to the reception.
Here are a few images from the reception slideshow of the wedding day.

Ryan and Whitney’s wedding in Brookings was in the Wesleyan Church. We only had time for a few outside shots before the ceremony and the sprinkles. The bad weather went north if Brookings until the reception started.
Kevin and Audrey – 06.18.10 – Bride and Groom
Audrey was nervous when we started taking pictures. After their “First Moments” pictures, we headed outside to get Kevin and Audrey relaxed. Here are a few more images from their wedding reception slideshow. Enjoy.
Laura and Anthony – 06.19.10

Audrey and Kevin – 06-18-10

Kyle and Laura – 02.23.10
Another totally awesome day for Kyle and Laura’s wedding. It snowed just enough to make their Winter wedding special, but not enough to stop friends and family from traveling. Here are just a few images from their wedding reception slideshow. More to come later.

Brian and Amanda: First moments
It’s been one week since Brian and Amanda said “I do” in the Grace Lutheran Church in Nunda, South Dakota. If you remember last weekend’s weather forecast, we were supposed to get rain, freezing rain, snow and lots of wind. Thank God the weatherman missed his prediction. We did have a little rain and snow on Saturday but we did have mild temps in the 30’s making travel much easier.
We always do “First Moments” with the bride and groom in the sanctuary before we start taking couple pictures. It gives the couple the opportunity to see each other all dressed up for the first time on their wedding day. It’s a time full of emotion: nervousness, tears of joy, laughter and love. Here are a few of Brian and Amanda that were included in the reception slideshow.
Nunda South Dakota Wedding Photography: Brian and Amanda – 01.23.10
The forecast for yesterday’s wedding looked as if we were going to be using candles as all of the Sioux Falls TV stations were telling us freezing rain, snow and high winds were on the way for the weekend. Most weekend athletics were even canceled by the local schools. Lucky for us the temperature stayed a couple degrees warmer than expected.
Brian and Amanda had an amazing wedding on Saturday. They were surrounded by their family and friends in the Grace Lutheran Church in Nunda. We must have known 75% of the people at the wedding which made everything that much more special.
This was the last image in their reception slideshow of their wedding day. Thanks to Jeremy Brech for providing with the appropriate music for the slideshow. We always know that we will be taken care of when DJ Jer is in the house.

Ryan did great during pictures. Since Ryan is a Flandreau Firefighter, we had to do some shots downtown with the old fire truck the department uses in parades.
