Hi! Nice to meet ya.
I’m Rebecca Franke, the heart behind Stellarich Photography: a Sioux Falls wedding and portrait photographer who believes real moments make the best memories.

It all started with a disposable camera.
My gramps, Richard, always had a disposable camera in his hand, from the moment I was born basically until the day he passed. Because of him, I ended up with albums upon albums of photos, and they are some of my most prized possessions.
The first time I picked up a camera was in 2017, and I’ve been passionate about it ever since. I’ve always loved connecting with new people, and I feel extremely blessed that I get to capture genuine moments for families to keep and share for life.
Fun fact: the photographer from my own wedding is the one who helped get me into the wedding industry. Years later we ran into each other in the tiny town I moved to, and I got to photograph her engagement. Full circle!

A few things about me
Your photos should feel like you, not a stranger’s idea of perfect.
That means less posing and more living. I’ll guide you with easy prompts, find the most beautiful light, and catch the in-between moments: the laughs, the glances, the little hands. Then I’ll hand you a gallery you’ll treasure the way I treasure Gramps’ albums.
I’d love to hear your story.
Tell me what you’re dreaming up, whether it’s a wedding, a growing family or senior year, and let’s make it happen.
