Elopements and small ceremonies
A smaller wedding
in the Black Hills
Not every wedding needs a whole day. If you're eloping, or planning a short ceremony with a few of the people closest to you, we photograph it by the hour instead of with one of our wedding collections. You decide how long you'd like us there.
