Beneath the Spruce 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Whitewood, SD

I’m a Rapid City and Black Hills wedding photographer with 10 years of experience creating natural, heartfelt images for couples who want their day documented with honesty and ease. I’m drawn to soft light, real connection, and the quiet in-between moments that make your story yours. Whether you’re celebrating in the pines, the prairies, or downtown, my goal is to preserve your day in a way that feels genuine and timeless.

Charity at Beneath the Spruce was a dream to work with. Her communication style was timely, upbeat and responsive, and the quality of her work was excellent - high quality, with great attention to detail, bright and knowledgeable. She helped us with a plethora of poses and made sure everyone got the photos they needed in an organized manner. Beyond capturing the posed shots, she also documented timeless candid moments between my husband and I that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her work speaks for itself, but it's also her professionalism and attention to detail that make her stand out above everyone else.

Katie Mary Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Whitewood, SD

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.

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.

Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!
