I photograph weddings and elopements with a blend of film and digital to create images that feel nostalgic and true to your story. If you’re dreaming of relaxed, meaningful photos that feel like you, we might be the perfect fit.

“We did our engagement photos with Michaela and we are in love with our photos! Michaela is so easy to work with. We never had professional photos before and we started off feeling pretty awkward. Michaela helped us learn how to get comfortable and make it fun! Her knowledge of the Black Hills is also amazing. She knows how to pick the best spot at the perfect time of day for the best photo light. We can't wait for her to do our wedding!”

Katie Mary Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Rapid City, SD
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m a natural light photographer based out of Rapid City, South Dakota. I specialize in wedding & family photographer that truly tries to capture the raw, candid, and intimate moments. I gravitate towards the moments that make your soul ache with complete happiness. My life changed once I birthed my first born baby boy. I picked up a camera & was drawn to photographing every day moments that I didn't want my mind, or my heart to ever forget. It wasn’t long before I got other families behind my lens & strive to capture the same emotional connection that drew me to this artistic craft in the first place.

“Katie is a very responsive and friendly photographer. She takes the most amazing pictures and made us feel comfortable the whole time during our sessions.”

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.”

Hey there!! My name is Alexis and I'm so glad you're here. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

“I had Alexis (and Sam) photograph my wedding at the Avalon Events Center on 6/13. She was awesome every step of the way, from having a huge bag of wedding kit items, helping pose and manage family for photos, and coming up with ideas for photos to make use of the large gap of time we had between the ceremony and the grand march. I don't think I saw her and Sam put down their cameras the entire 8 hours they were there on that day, so I'm excited to get the full gallery of photos! She was also able to rush us out for some awesome sunset photos when we only had a few minutes to get them. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Her price is extremely reasonable for the great quality of service and photos she provides.”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

When in the planning phase, she worked with us to make sure we planned out the shots we wanted and got the style of photography that we preferred.
