✨{Haylee + Dustyn}✨
Ladies & Gentleman, Mr. & Mrs. Fish🤍.
Saturday was a day of dreams. Perfect temperatures, so many fun people, a beautiful venue, & a whole lot of love. It was incredible! Haylee & Dustyn looked incredible for their Labor Day Weekend Wedding, celebrating with all their friends & family at Generations ⭐️. Stunning. Haylee is bubbly, funny, full of light & all that it has to offer. Dustyn is reserved, quiet, a man of few words, but the biggest heart. They are an incredible balance, a perfect match. I have heard just about every vow that words can form, but Haylee & Dustyn’s private vows are ones I’ll hold close to my heart. Intimate, special, & forever secret vows of their deepest feelings were spoken beneath the branches of a quick rain shower that flowed through. A cinematic moment I’ll hold close forever. ✨
The Goehring & Fish Families hosted an incredible reception, full of laughs & stories. Haylee & Dustyn are so loved. Even their pup Finn got to join, it was the most beautiful day!
I have loved getting to know Haylee & Dustin this past year. I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings now & every now & then I get a couple with a little something extra, just something special about them that connects us. Haylee & Dustyn embraced me from day one, we became fast friends, and it was just an incredible gift to get to know them throughout their wedding processes.
Cheers to the Fish’s, to their love, sunsets, laughs, & a lifetime of love! 🥂

There’s a Senior over at the McIntosh House! Senior Photos for this guy was a blast! Mason’s parents Matt & Kelli are long time friends of mine, I can’t believe they have a Senior. Mason is super kind, smart, & mature beyond his years. Senior Year is busy with Soccer & Basketball Seasons 🏀⚽️he’s going to do awesome. Mason is well traveled, having been to many places in the world already - Japan being his favorite so far. He hopes to end up in a big city, either for school or long term! Political Science is the goal, with a dream of dipping into Politics! He’ll be a great leader someday. Thanks McIntosh Fam! 🫶🏻

Senior Year for my man Tanner! This dude is so funny, I had the best time running around with this guy & his mom Jaime. Tanner is busy - worked all summer for his dad, and is usually outdoors mountain biking, skiing, hunting, or up to something with his buddies. The plan for now is undergrad in Montana, and continue on to Creighton for Dentistry or Orthodontics, but hey nothing is set in stone yet. Tanner is friends with a lot of my Seniors, an overall great guy that everyone loves. Thanks Wood Fam!! Tanner you did great sir!

BIG year at the Deitz House! 🎓I’ve had so many incredible Senior Sessions over the years, tons of twins but never TRIPLETS. An afternoon with the entire Deitz Family & it was a dream! The most piercing blue eyes, these sisters were incredibly to photograph 🩵. Uniquely, beautifully, and indiscipline they’re own, the Deitz Girls are similar & different at the same time. Addie & Avery hope to pursue Nursing 🩺, while Ashlyn plans to work with large animals, specially horses 🐴. We were joined by their two older sisters, and their parents Kambra & Chris - Chris is still the King in this Castle of Ladies 👑. Super excited for these girls and all their dreams! Thanks Deitz Fam! 🫶🏻🤍.

✨{Sydney + Travis}✨
Mr. & Mrs. Fitzke!!! Celebrated the love between these two in their home town of Pierre this past weekend, & it could not have been more stunning.
Kind, Loving, Fun, Salt of the Earth - a few ways to describe our friends Syd & Trav. 🤍
My wife Megan & Sydney became friends in the dorms their freshman year at BHSU, and the entire campus was convinced they were sisters. Lifelong friends ever since.✨.
Sunshine, a little humidity, a cocktail or seven, and a stop at Bob’s Lounge where this love story began🍻🍸 - it was the best combination for the perfect day.
What I loved best about Sydney & Travis’s wedding weekend was that their life, their world, & the people in it are deeply rooted in family & community. Throughout pictures, the party bus, & the entire day really, their love for their friends & family was so clear. Their wedding party was made up of their own siblings, friends who were siblings or in laws of one another, and the connections went on & on. Incredible people who’ve helped support their love for one another throughout the years. They’ve immersed themselves into the lives of their loved ones, and the entire day felt like Home, the epitome of marriage. It was a beautiful day with the most welcoming of people. ✨
I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, but of course these days feel a little extra special, one I’ll hold close to my heart.
I’m so glad she found him.
I’m so glad he found her.
This world is better with them together. 🫶🏻
Congrats my friends, wishing you a lifetime of life & friendship.

Taige is Graduating! Senior Year for this super funny girl! Taige is hilarious, and we had the best day navigating tornado-like winds 😂.

Mic Drop Moment 🎤Stunning. Fun. Speechless. Ella’s Senior Session was INSANE! One of the hottest days of the year, we bounced between 99-104 degrees this entire session but it was sooo worth it 🔥🙌🏼. Ella is ready for her Senior Year & Senior Tennis Season at Stevens! She has spent the summer teaching & coaching younger tennis players, and hanging out with friends and family! Following high school she hopes to attend BHSU or the University of Wyoming! A major is tbd, but “something creative” she said - endless options!! The best day with Ella & her mom Kim! Thanks Van Loan Fam! 🤍
