Layne + Alexis got engaged in New York City on New Years Eve, so they wanted to incorporate a little sparkle and magic to their wedding day. I’d say it was a success! :-)

These two were cracking each other up all day. They are as goofy as they are sweet, and it was so fun to watch them enjoy their wedding to the fullest!

CONFETTI CANNONS!!! 

After the ceremony, we took a stroll at sunset for some more photos, which has to be the most romantic thing ever, right? How many couples take time to enjoy a moment to themselves during their wedding day? Love these next few!!

Back inside for a little cake and a little dancing and the beginning of a lifetime of love and happiness. :-)

Layne + Alexis – Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your special day! 

Are you ready for the awesomeness that is Trevor + Kerry’s love? These two met at SDSU (Go Jacks!), so you know they’re destined for greatness. ;-)

Awww, you guys!! I love how you love each other. :-)

Love, love love this photo!!! (If you follow @studiolb on Instagram, you’ve seen this one already. :-))

The tippy toes!!! :-D

Weddings in the Black Hills are beautiful, but Sylvan Lake really does have it all – mountains, water, and that seasonal splash of fall color.

Erin and her girls. :-)

There’s something about the way brides and grooms look at each other during their wedding ceremony – it’s the most perfect combination of love and excitement and it makes my heart flutter every time!

Just married!!! :-)

Pete + Erin – Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your big day! I hope you have enjoyed your first few days being married! :-)

Fall weddings make my heart happy. Add in a historic home and a rockstar couple + wedding party (who were willing to take photos in the rain) and my heart was nearly bursting! 

Looking around the room for photo inspiration, Jacquie says “I should play the piano,” and Michael said “And I’ll watch – that’s something we would do.” So Jacquie played piano while her just-about-husband watched. Is your heart melting for these guys yet? :-)

*That moment when your husband is reading his vows and you have to turn around to have another moment with your best friend.* :-)

Being pronounced husband and wife = SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!!

After the ceremony we walked over to the park for their reception, stopping for a *few* more photos along the way.

Sharing a quiet moment and a slow dance before the party.

Mike + Jacquie – THANK YOU for having me. Your love is so beautiful and genuine and I love it!! Please keep these photos with you ‘on your boat’ for you to enjoy forever and ever. :-)
