Small Town Wedding

Another wedding weekend in the books for us! After all the rain the last couple of weeks we were so happy to wake up to sunshine and blue skies as we traveled south to Springfield, SD for a wedding. Austin and Halley have been planning their day through a longer engagement and I can’t believe how fast the time went! Someone suggested Terrace Park for their first look; we scoped it out right along the river and decided it would be perfect for the wedding party as well!

I played a new part at this wedding. Besides just telling people where to stand, trying to make babies smile and keeping my pockets full of all Clay’s extras, he decided it was time to hand me a camera and do some second shooting! I loved every moment of it and I’m so thankful he trusted me with his camera to snag some creative shots for Austin and Halley. So. Much. Fun.

We enjoyed Austin and Halley and their wedding party and grateful they decided to have us shoot their special day. I thought their day reflected them as a couple perfectly: classic, simple and timeless. Their dance was held in a small town hall that had gorgeous wood floors, paper lanterns hung from the ceiling and a live band that kept everyone on their feet all night!

We took a little minute and used self timer while we were waiting for wedding party! Love that we snag a photo with all our couples!

Outside the dance hell, there were gorgeous string lights and a big grassy lawn. Stay tuned for some sneak peaks from that adorable area! After the hub bub of the entire day I’m happy Austin and Halley stepped outside to take some main street photos as well. What a great time to slow down and reflect on all the love that is all around you!?

Wedding #2 in 2019 in the books. What a great day Clay and I had. So lucky he and I get to do what we love together. Here we come summer. It’s going to be crazy! Coming up: Team Roping in Rapid, Bronc Match Ft. Pierre, Wedding #3, niece’s first birthday and more!! Stay tuned!!
