Sioux Falls, SD Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Endless horizons, prairie sunsets, and venues where the sky does the decorating — Sioux Falls weddings feel wide open in the best way.

Photographing weddings in Sioux Falls

On the plains, Sioux Falls gives you the biggest sky in wedding photography — sunsets that fill the whole frame and golden fields that turn portraits cinematic. We plan around the wind (there will be wind) and chase the light right up to the last sliver of horizon.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Sioux Falls surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Sioux Falls

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Sioux Falls than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 9:09 PM and golden hour opens around 8:26 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:43 PM — a swing of 2 hours 26 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Sioux Falls ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Sioux Falls

These are the Sioux Falls venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
