Paige + Chance Check out this beautifully dreamy October wedding at Black Hills Receptions! Paige got ready in the bridal gazebo, and then we did the first look and some bride and groom portraits on the brick path in the shade of the pine trees. We then drove down the road to Falling Rock park…
Chantel + Seth Winter weddings are not crazy common in South Dakota due to the unpredictability of the weather (60 F one day and then a blizzard the next…not even joking), but when they work out they are so beautiful, even if snow isn’t on the ground.
