downtown sioux falls elopement

Eloping in Downtown Sioux Falls

The sun was just starting to set over the city skyline when Shania and Pierre stepped onto the quiet streets of downtown Sioux Falls. With the evening fall air crisp and cool, the couple enjoyed each moment together loving on each other with their vintage car, such a fun and unique way to make this elopement special and memorable for these two.

Shania’s makeup done by Makeup by Emilie B and beautiful a bouquet made by Olive & Grace Floral, while Pierre looked so sleek in his stylish suit. They both looked so stunning.

Downtown Sioux Falls really does make for the perfect elopement choice with its mix of modern and historic architecture across Phillips and Main Ave. We didn’t want to get lost in the busy downtown or have their special moment overshadowed by the hustle and bustle. So, this shoot was planned to elope at sunset when the streets were quiet, and they could have more of an intimate moment.

Eloping in a city like Sioux Falls might not be the traditional way to get married, but it can be such a perfect fit for couples like Shania and Pierre.
