Emerald Pines Barn Wedding Venue

A Wedding Day at The Emerald Pines Barn

This wedding day at the Emerald Pines Barn venue was absolutely stunning. I fell in love with this couple right away when we had our first discovery call together. It was easy to tell they were so crazy about each other. I knew then that it would be an absolute honor to capture their love story for their engagement session and wedding day. Their day was exactly what they envisioned of a gorgeous, classic, elegant style pulling some emerald green accents.

The Love Story | Makenna & Eli

Makenna and Eli met in middle school and dated for a couple of years. Later on after high school they ran into each other at a friends wedding in 2019. They ended up spending the rest of the summer together after that reunion and did long distance for a few years while Eli finished his undergrad in Colorado. Makenna says Eli is exactly who she wants to spend the rest of her life with.

A couple of favorite moments from their engagement session at the Hotel on Phillips in downtown Sioux Falls.
