Jocelyn and Marcus : 08.05.11

Posted in: Wedding

One of my favorite types of weddings (who am I kidding, I love all weddings) but one of my favorite, FAVORITE, weddings are the home weddings. The ones held in a yard of someone’s home. Jocelyn’s original wedding plans included a riverside wedding, but with the flooding experienced in Pierre this year, they had to go to plan B. I’m not sure why this wasn’t plan A to begin with, but her parent’s home is beautiful and was a charming location to have the wedding.

We started with Jocelyn getting ready.  The light was gorgeous in the upstairs rooms and it’s fun to see the bride get ready in a home she grew up in.  Not one to stay with tradition, Marcus helped the bride into her dress and we were off for portraits around the yard.  The ceremony was on the front lawn and the backyard was designed elegantly to host the guests. A very special highlight was the Capital City Children’s Choir provided music during the ceremony. Jocelyn’s mom founded the choir and they are well known for their amazing talents. It was a great treat for me and the guests alike!

Shortly after the ceremony, a thunderstorm hit. Jocelyn took it in stride as family and friend helped move things inside. While we weren’t expecting to cozy up in the house, it made for a lot of laughs and togetherness as the storm passed. True to South Dakota nature, the storm cooled off the night making it perfect for a night under the stars.

Jocelyn and Marcus are so fantastic and I was so blessed to be part of their wedding!

Ross and Andrea engaged!

Posted in: Engagement | Wedding

These guys have it. That thing, that you can’t really put words on, but it’s there. The chemistry is unbelievable. It’s almost like you aren’t even there… and I mean that in a very, very good way.

Andrea and Ross came a long way to find each other. They knew immediately that they had found “the one” after being set up by mutual friends. It was so great to photograph their engagement session and be a part of what they have. It’s couples like this that make me love my job!

We started our session early in the morning to get the best light, and met up at McKennen Park. The sunken garden is special to Andrea because it’s where her dad proposed to her mom just two weeks after they met! And just like Ross and Andrea… When you know, YOU KNOW!  They were married a few short months later and are still adorable and sweet together. Mom and Dad came along to help with the car you’ll see later and it was a lot of fun getting to know them too. I know exactly where Andrea gets her sweet personality from.:)

After the gardens, we headed downtown. Andrea’s dad has a beautiful Ford that we used for more photos near Luciano’s. (Btw, if you haven’t tried it, it’s excellent!) They will be having their rehearsal dinner there and wanted to use some of the features of the area. Andrea loves sweets, so we went to be Best Cupcakery IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, Oh My Cupcakes! for some more fun. Ross had found a door he liked and asked if we could try it. Of course we could, and it was very conveniently located next to the the best cupcakery IN THE WORLD. (feel free to send me Cupcakes anytime)

Then we hit the Philips Avenue Diner for some faux retro stuff, and then up the hill to the Cathedral. Ross and Andrea are very fortunate to be having their ceremony there. It’s been under renovation for two years. As if it wasn’t beautiful before, it’s now breathtaking.

We finished up at the falls, just as the sun was burning through the fog and starting to heat up the day. We had so many beautiful locations and the results speak for themselves. Congratulations Andrea and Ross!
