This will be the last wedding on the blog for a while. It is a great one to end on. So here is a big post for all you wedding watchers with little text because through the images you will see how fun the day was, how beautiful the bride was, how handsome the groom...
What an incredible couple and family for me to spend time in Jamaica with. Michaela’s brother and I weren’t too smart when we swam out in the dark to the big boat that was way farther out than we thought. But it was still fun. And snorkeling with the family was great. I could get...
Another collaborative effort between Envision Wedding Studio and I. We decided it was time for a small county wedding concept to come to life. Here are the images. CA Special Thank you to all the South Dakota vendors who contributed their services and products to the shoot. Sioux Falls Wedding Attire by Interlude Bridal Brookings...
Tessa and Klint got married in the country a little church I was afraid I wouldn’t find. But alas I did and to find such a natural beauty for a bride. Tessa had a smile on her face almost the entire day, it’s no wonder Klint loves her. Klint and Tessa were also fortunate that...
These two just make me smile and I hope they come back to see me for many years to come. Such a wonderful couple! The images: It makes it fun to edit when I have a second photographer covering another area of the wedding. Because then I find images like this. Loved the headpiece. Mom...
Just a little tease from Annie and David’s wedding last weekend. Cory Ann Ellis, South Dakota Photographer AC Ellis
Tiffany and AJ were married in May and had a rich toned wedding full of details. For their portraits they selected a site that has been being renovated. When the midwest winds decided for us that portraits outside weren’t going to be a possibility we ducked into this building. I love new places with lots...
Leah from Envision Wedding Studio and I love to work together to create wonderful wedding ideas. This was our largest collaboration to date including over 10 different area vendors. We did this shoot to appear on South Dakota Wedding Style. If you are planning a wedding I suggest you head on over as there are...
I started off the 2010 Wedding Season early in January with Heather and Jeff at one of my favorite venues. While Heather and Jeff chose to get married at a church they decided to get ready and to have their portraits at the Washington Pavilion which was also their reception site. I’ll let the images...
What a wonderful couple and wedding to end the year with. In phone conversations with Leslee I kept getting more excited for her and Josh’s day. From the hats the men wore to the jeweled bouquets the little things that made it their own were the things that we loved. The best part this lovely...
I don’t even know where to begin writing about this couple and their wedding. I didn’t get to meet Mandi and Jeff ahead of time, but I did check them out on-line. I knew from my snooping that Mandi had style, but didn’t know that I was going to meet one of the cutest, most...
I love headpieces! They are so fun and come in so many styles. I love them for intimates and I love them for weddings. My favorites are from Castle Bride Couture. Here are a couple of pieces we used to help complete the look we wanted for a our vintage set. We were thinking big...
With shabby chic being all the rage we played off of the idea. Envision Wedding Studio did a great job of making it different and hence I give you Vintage Couture. For the venue we selected The Museum of Visual Materials. It is a restored building the is LEED green certified and more character than...
During one of our sessions to give brides ideas we switched dresses and headpieces. This piece is from Castle Bride Couture. I love their pieces and have a few of them in stock at the studio. They come in so many designs. This one happens to be more on the bold side and I thought...
It is the little things that often get over looked or not addressed until the last minute. But those same little things can make your desired atmosphere and feel come through. For a guestbook table think outside the draped six foot table. For this lovely design Envision Wedding Studio pulled together random vintage elements. While...
There are many times during an event when guests are left empty handed wondering what to do. Be it standing in line for the receiving line, mingling outside or entering your reception site a drink is a great treat. Nothing to get stuck in your teeth and always refreshing. This lemonade stand idea is perfect...
I am loving this bold color combination for the upcoming year. We’ve shown the bride in a black dress. You may have noticed that brides are getting married in something other than white more often. And even if you wear that dreamy white dress down the aisle, don’t be afraid to switch it up for...
I didn’t know that much about this wedding prior to the day. It adds an element of surprise. O what a good surprise it was. Can I list all of the things I loved: Jeans worn by the bridal party – that’s right folks no tux! Bird Cage veil by a lovely bride. Simple lovely...
I was really looking forward to this wedding for good reason. I’ll show you more below. Stacy and John were so much fun, as was their family and bridal party. It was a great day and a wedding to be remembered. Thank you guys so much for having me. CA You know it’s going to...
O where to start… I can’t imagine someone else getting to shoot this wedding. Why because Adrienne has been a great supporter of my work and I wanted to kick butt for her. Talk about pressure, sure I feel it a bit for any wedding. But for this couple, for this lady I really felt...
