Custer State Park Wedding Photography | Jenny & Dan

I had been eagerly awaiting Jenny & Dan’s Custer State Park wedding for over a year. The well traveled couple are writers who live in China and managed to wrangle up friends and family from around the globe to watch them wed in a spot Jenny had visited as a child and dreamt of getting married at one day. The Black Hills of South Dakota and Custer State Park are known for their sweeping vistas, glorious lakes and green prairies where wild buffalo still roam.

Jenny & Dan began their fun-packed wedding weekend with a Chuckwagon rehearsal dinner where guests were loaded into cloth covered wagons equipped with straw cowboy hats and personalized bandanas. We all rode through the state park sitting on bails of hay and singing along to old country songs until we reached a remote clearing where we feasted on steaks and buffalo burgers.

Their wedding was another picture perfect day and the ceremony site had an almost surreal backdrop with enormous boulders jutting straight out of Sylvan Lake. The happy couple put so much thought into the readings, music, and their beautiful personal vows, and three tutu wearing flower girls entertained guests with random hugging and high kicks.

The reception was held at the Sylvan Lake lodge where their tables were named after the numerous cities where they had lived from all over the world. Jenny & Dan also chose some of their favorite books as their centerpieces and guests were invited to take them home with them. Emotional speeches, tequila shots, streamers thrown around everyone (a Bolivian wedding tradition), their party was an unforgettable one and so was my time with them.

Sweet words from the gracious bride…

“Kira is wildly talented. She has an amazing eye and frames her shots perfectly. We loved her photojournalistic style from the get-go, and we hired her because we wanted to have clear, beautiful images of our friends and family, and – sure enough – we now have all of these excellent portraits of the people we love. Somehow Kira managed to be completely unobtrusive while capturing everything. We had many great people who helped us to create a wonderful wedding weekend, but Kira was one of the absolute best.”
