Isaac and Amber: First Moments – Nunda South Dakota Wedding Photography

We love the “First Moments” pictures. It gives the bride and groom to share an emotional time together without the distraction of a church full of people. Amber and Isaac did have a small audience as she came down the aisle of the sanctuary at Grace Lutheran Church in Nunda last Saturday.

Here are a few images taken from their reception slideshow.

A signature mat is just our gift to the couple as part of their wedding package. Not every couple chooses to have all of the guest sign their picture. Some just have the bridal party sign. Others like the picture as is and put it on display at their reception, framed and safely behind glass.

Isaac and Amber’s Wedding Guestbook – Nunda South Dakota Wedding Photography

The wedding is next month and the details are all coming together. Less than one month to go…

Here’s Isaac and Amber’s guestbook proof.

Sioux Falls SD Wedding Photography: Erin and Derek – 10.02.2010

Erin and Derek’s wedding at Peace Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls was a memorable one. All sorts of little things went wrong but we still had more than enough time for everything. The reception slideshow usually comes down to the wire. On Saturday, we were invited to join in the meal at Chef Dominique’s at Shriver’s Square nd we had the time to enjoy the wonderful food. We had great luck at Falls Park: everyone moved out of the way automatically so that we could have the water in the background without any people.

Here are a few images taken from the slideshow.

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

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?

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.

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.
