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.

Flandreau South Dakota Wedding Photography: Ryan
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.
Flandreau South Dakota Wedding Photography: Krista
It was cold outside the day of Ryan and Krista’s wedding. We did a few outside and then finished up inside St Simon and Jude Catholoc Church in Flandreau.
Here are a few of Krista from the reception slideshow.
Flandreau South Dakota Wedding Photography: Ryan and Krista – couple pictures
At last Friday’s wedding in Flandreau SD, we did our normal couple pictures in the sanctuary and then headed downtown to the fire hall. Since Ryan is on the Flandreau fire department, he wanted a few pictures with the restored American LaFrance fire truck. These images were taken from Ryan and Krista’s reception slideshow.

Kevin & Audrey’s Engagement Pictures
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
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.

Another bridal show done…
Our last bridal show this month was in Watertown, South Dakota. We talked to so many brides that had either been to one of our weddings or had friends that told them about us.
We still have some dates open for this year. We are already getting calls about next summer.
Although tomorrow is a holiday, we will be in the studio most of the day.

Sioux Falls Bridal Show Booth
Another show done.
We had a great turnout on Sunday at the Ramkota in Sioux Falls. The people in charge of the All Occasions show took good care of us.
Your next chance to see us at a bridal fair is on Sunday, January 20th at the Watertown Event Cent for the the Watertown Public Opinion 2008 Bridal Showcase.
Wedding Photography: Get the slideshow!
If you attended the bridal show on Sunday, you probably picked up one of our brochures. Look at it closely and you can find details about the reception slideshow of the wedding day that we include as a gift to all of our couples. We don’t charge extra for it! We’ve been able to do it for every wedding for the last four years.
We don’t just throw a bunch of pictures up on a screen helter skelter. We do a tight edit on all of the images, color correct them and then add special effects before cropping them. The slideshow itself is a mix of romance and fun, tears and laughter.
And yes, it is a great deal of work, but we think the results are worth it. You get to share your images with your friends and family. They might not otherwise get to see your wedding pictures.
Sioux Falls Bridal Show tomorrow
Tomorrow we will be attending the All Occasions Bridal Show in Sioux Falls at the Ramkota Exhibit Hall from 1 to 5 pm.
Valerie and Steve from Square One Productions are designing and setting up our booth. They have promised us something very cool. We supply the prints and they arrange and light the images so they look their best.
We could take care of it ourselves, but we want to be fresh and relaxed, not frustrated and stressed from hours of setup.
Valerie and Steve do much more than just booth design. They can handle everything from tradeshows and conventions (A/V and lighting) to huge video dance systems. They have a very big truck as Valerie says.
We have a few new prints that will be on display this time including one from Dacey shown in this post. He’s pretty pumped up about it.
