This perfectly paired couple traveled to the Black Hills to visit family a few weeks ago, and I felt so lucky that our schedules aligned long enough for an early morning engagement session in Rapid City. It was my favorite type of session—the lighthearted kind where we walk and talk and stop for a photo […]

Brent and Amy, where do I begin? I adore you both, I admire your heart for serving God and for serving each other, and I can’t even begin to describe the joy that surrounded your wedding. Thank you for keeping everything in perfect perspective and for treating me like family. Getting to know you has […]

I recently traveled to Nebraska to meet up with my sweet friend Abby, and her very handsome, very kind, husband-to-be, Marty. I followed her down miles of dusty road to the couple’s future home, peacefully nestled in wide open space. I met Chester, Bones, and Banjo, laughed and chatted, and witnessed what I can only […]

Mike and Paige, thank you for having me along for your nothing-short-of-stunning wedding day, for being so very thoughtful and genuinely happy, and for making me feel like an old friend. I truly enjoyed being with you as you celebrated your marriage with your families, your friends, and all of those hilarious, wonderful kids. Hoping […]

Courtney and Travis, the two of you (and your families!) were amazing to work with. I can’t help but smile when I think back to your wedding day, and hope it was everything you dreamed it would be. Thanks for going with the flow, for believing with me that it wouldn’t rain (we were right!), […]

Mr. & Mrs. Davalos, I wish I could put into words what it meant to me to have been invited to share this day with you. I loved watching your hard work unfold into the amazing wedding it was, but my favorite part was seeing the joy the two of you (and your new marriage) […]

Sterling and Jessica, I wish you could get married all over again, as your wedding and reception were nothing short of perfection. I cannot thank you enough for asking me to share this time with you, and for letting who you are shine through every last moment. Wishing you many years of the magic that […]

Just before Christmas, Jessica and Sterling traveled to South Dakota for the holidays. As luck would have it, they were here right before Brett and I were leaving to visit our families, and were available on the only afternoon I had free for their engagement session. I’m so happy our paths crossed! Jessica and Sterling, […]

Mr. & Mrs. Harms, your wedding was an amazing way to end my 2013 season. I adored your outlook from the beginning, and admire you for never loosing sight of your vision for the start of your life as husband and wife. Thank you, again and again, for asking me to be a part of […]

I’m thrilled to share Joe & Dani’s engagement photos today! This good-looking pair chose a snowy, slick, post-blizzard fall day here in the hills, but it couldn’t have been more perfect. I can’t wait to photograph their Terry Peak wedding next year! Joe and Dani, thank you for making the drive to Custer State Park, […]
