Kelsie + John

When Kelsie asked me to photograph her wedding, I could not have said yes any faster! My excitement not only stems from us being friends, but also that the wedding takes place in our hometown area. It will be a joy to be amongst so many people I know while celebrating such a grand occasion!
For their engagment session we headed back to the place we grew up, and had such a great time! Coming from a small town, all eyes were on us as we walked the streets and stopped here and there to capture some images. How exciting to be the talk of the town! Thanks you two for such a great (b)day!!

Huron

While we were in Huron before Easter, (apparently we are there A LOT!) I had an opportunity to pull out the camera and create some awesome images. It was a beautiful day out with lots of bright warm sunshine!

The lovely Melissa

Margarita (aka Kris' grandmother) looking young as ever!

Of course no trip is finished without me taking images of my wonderful husband! Here's Kris' GQ photo. By the way, I'm absolutely loving this light! Who says we can't have California sun in South Dakota??

Lastly, this is what happens when you ask your husband to pose tough...although he does look like he's wearing a small form of brass knuckles, even if it IS only his wedding ring!

Becky + Brandon

Becky and Brandon met me for their engagement shoot on one of the colder days before this spring. You would never have guessed it by the smiles on their faces! *sigh* Aren't engaged couples so cute?!
