Kailey & Jarrett’s Country Club Summer Wedding


Kailey and Jarrett's wedding was a celebration to be remembered! I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these two for few years now, and it’s been so beautiful to watch them grow closer with each meeting. This time, it was even more special because it was for their wedding day, celebrated on a perfect summer afternoon at the stunning Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.


One of my favorite moments was right before the first look. Jarrett was visibly nervous, but as soon as he saw Kailey, all his nerves melted away. Capturing these moments of genuine emotion and love was truly special. The way they looked at each other throughout the day was a beautiful reminder of their deep connection and friendship. The day was incredibly special, not just for the couple, but for everyone involved. Kailey and Jarrett took time to reflect on the love and support surrounding them, which was a joy to witness. Seeing my couples soak up all the love and joy on their wedding day is one of the things I cherish most about my work.


Kailey looked absolutely stunning in her dress from Marie and Marie Bridal, featuring exquisite beading and intricate details. She surprised Jarrett with a second “first look,” revealing gorgeous detachable sleeves that transformed her look throughout the day. Jarrett and his groomsmen wore coordinating beige suits from Bridal Gallery, paired with dusty rose ties that perfectly matched the bridesmaids’ dresses from Azazie.


The couple exchanged vows at Katharine St. Drexel Church, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments, setting a warm and intimate tone for the day. Following this, guests moved to the Minnehaha Country Club for a lively cocktail hour and reception. The wedding theme embraced tan and neutral tones, inspired by Pinterest ideas to create a classic and elegant atmosphere. The Minnehaha Country Club was the perfect venue, chosen for its gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a breathtaking view of the beautiful golf course. The reception was all about celebration and fun! Kailey and Jarrett wanted to wow their guests with an unforgettable party, and that’s exactly what happened. With DJ Joey Cazanova at the helm, the dance floor was alive all night with everyone having an incredible time, celebrating love and friendship.


This wedding was a full-circle moment for me, from meeting Kailey and Jarrett three years ago at another friend's wedding to capturing their destination engagement session in the Black Hills, and finally their wedding day. It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful and beautiful celebration.
