A south dakota traveling Wedding photographer
hi friend
I'm Sayer
My love for the diverse scenery our state offers is what ultimately led to God calling me to become a traveling photographer.
Favorite South Dakota Locations: The Black Hills (home), Pierre, Watertown, Sioux Falls, Hill City & Aberdeen.
I can't wait to celebrate you!

Fun Facts!
Whether you're walking down the aisle or chasing tiny feet through the grass, life moves fast. It’s the in-between moments—the messy, magical, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them ones—that are worth bottling up and holding onto forever.
That’s where I come in. I specialize in capturing those quiet, meaningful moments you might not even notice in the rush—but will wish you could relive a thousand times. The soft smile between you and your partner. The tiny hand reaching for yours. The laughter you never want to forget.
With me, there’s no pressure. No stress. Just space to be yourself, and someone who sees what matters. Because when the day flies by, I’ll be there catching the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
Don’t let the beauty of this season fade into the background.
Let’s freeze the story that’s really unfolding—the one that feels like home.
