Sioux Falls Wedding Photographer

Wedding photos that let you feel it all over again.

Natural, emotional wedding photography for Sioux Falls couples (and lake, barn and destination weddings too), with a photographer who keeps you relaxed all day long.

Your day goes by in a blur

You’ve planned every detail. Don’t let the moments slip by unseen.

You’ve spent months choosing the venue, the flowers and the dress. The last thing you want is a photographer who barks orders, misses the happy tears, or makes you feel like a mannequin.

You deserve to be fully present on your wedding day, soaking it all in, knowing every glance, every belly laugh and every dance-floor moment is being captured for you.

Your guide for the big day

Calm, fun and right there with you

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I know how overwhelming a wedding day can feel, and I also know how much those photos will mean decades from now. I’ll help you build a timeline that catches the best light, gently guide you through portraits, and quietly capture everything else as it happens.

I photograph weddings at Sioux Falls’ favorite venues: Laurel Ridge, Blue Haven Barn & Gardens and The Atrium at Blue Haven, Monick Yards, Emerald Pines Barn, and The Veranda and The Meadow Barn in Harrisburg. Add The Waterfront in Okoboji and destination celebrations, and wherever you say “I do,” you’re in good hands.

Elopements & intimate weddings

Sioux Falls elopement photography

All the meaning, none of the stress. Just the two of you, or a handful of your favorite people.

Courthouse vows downtown, a sunrise in the Badlands, a quiet dock at Okoboji, or a mountaintop across the country: I’ll help you choose the spot, plan the timing for the best light, and handle the little details (permits, backup plans, where to put the flowers) so you can just focus on each other.

  • Coverage tailored to your plans, from vows to portraits
  • Help finding a location that feels like you
  • Happy to travel for the right adventure

Elopement coverage starts at $2,000.

Engagements & proposals

Sioux Falls engagement photos

Your engagement session is part celebration, part warm-up for the big day.

We’ll find a spot that feels like you, whether that’s the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum, the bluffs at Good Earth State Park, wide-open prairie at golden hour, the glowing State Theatre marquee downtown, or your favorite dive bar on a rainy night, and I’ll guide you the whole way. By the wedding, being in front of my camera will feel like second nature.

Engagement sessions are $425, and when you book me for your wedding, that $425 comes off your wedding package. Planning to pop the question? I love capturing surprise proposals, too. Let’s plan it together (secretly, of course).

Questions

Wedding FAQ

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I’m based in Sioux Falls and photograph weddings all over the surrounding area, at Okoboji and the Iowa Great Lakes, and at destinations farther away (I’ve even shot a wedding week in Cabo). Travel within 30 miles of Sioux Falls is free; beyond that there’s a flat travel fee, like $350 for Okoboji. Each year I also take one far-away destination wedding with the Deluxe package.

Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?

Absolutely. Whether it’s 200 guests in a barn or just the two of you on a mountain overlook, your story deserves to be told well.

Are engagement sessions available?

Yes, and I highly recommend one. It’s the best way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, and you’ll get gorgeous photos for save-the-dates.

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you have a date and venue. Peak-season Saturdays in Sioux Falls book up early, so reach out to check availability.

How much does wedding photography cost?

Wedding packages are $2,900 (Simple, 6 hours), $3,640 (Premium, 8 hours) and $4,300 (Deluxe, all day with a second photographer and behind-the-scenes videos). Every package includes a complimentary engagement or bridal session. Prices are plus sales tax and may vary depending on location, details and travel. See all packages.
