Wedding Experience

I'm here for you every step of the way

It is my passion to provide you with every resource to feel confidently elegant on your special day.

It is my mission to serve you well right from the beginning! Once you inquire, I will send over my packages and pricing for you to look over and then we can set up a free consultation to see what kind of coverage you are needing specifically.

01

Inquiry

After a brides inquiry I strongly encourage them to meet up for coffee or do a phone call. It’s during this time we talk all things wedding! We go over all the basic information wedding venue, bridal party numbers, wedding colors and ceremony time. This gives me an idea of how many hours you will need and which package we should go with.

02

Consultation

Hooray! Once contract is signed and retainer paid, you are officially booked! I cannot wait to help you with anything I can. I love to be an abundant resource of knowledge as you get ready for your big day!

You're booked!

03

From here I will be in touch with you to set up your engagement session and set you up with any vendors you might be needing! I'm here for it all!

Stay in touch

04

It's time for your engagement session! This is one of my favorite sessions because it puts us in a low pressure enviornment and you can get familiar with my posing styles/direction. We'll laugh, get to know each other more and just have some fun all while getting some GORGEOUS photos you'll treasure forever!

This second consultation happens a couple months before your wedding, where we go over timeline and all the nitty gritty details. It's so important to me to get all the shots that you really want and capture the style you are envisioning for your wedding!

For each wedding day to be a success there are many different people and vendors working together. Below I have created a list of some of the best local wedding venders that serve the Sioux Falls area and Midwest region. Over the past 4 years I have worked with many of these different vendors and know from experience that do an excellent job.

What to put in your wedding details box

01

The detail shots or what my brides call the “pretty shots“ are definitely one of my favorite parts of the day. With my two larger wedding packages I block out the first hour to capture all these little items that some people overlook. Couples work really hard to choose each item that will be incorporated into their day. I like to highlight each one so it won’t be forgotten.

What to wear for your engagement session

03

You have recently have gotten engaged! Yay! Not only that, you just chose a wedding date, wedding venue and now hired a professional photographer. Big things are happening! Now the next question all brides ask me is “what do I wear for my engagement photos?” Below I go over several tips that will help you pull together some beautifully coordinated outfits that represent you both and your personalities!
