In 2017, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Minnesota State University Moorhead, MN. My emphasis is in photography, and I have loved implementing what I learned from school into my work. In November of 2017, I got married to the love of my life, whom I met a few years earlier when I was a missionary with NET Ministries. I am a mom to my sweet girl, Avila, and a wife to my incredible husband, Hector. Holiness is my ultimate destination. My services are laid back and your photos will get back to you very, very quickly. I will support you, guide you, and work with you every step of this process.

Two things go beyond the wedding day: marriage and memories. Photography is one of the most powerful ways to cherish the timeless moments that encompass the big day.

My style is founded on an intentional balance between refined & formal as well as lifestyle & journalism—all with an overarching theme of timeless elegance. It is my aim and success to create images that you will admire and relive for years to come.

Kylee Jade - Photographer

Sioux Falls, SD

I photograph wedding days as unposed as possible - outside of a designated portrait time, I am quietly observing and documenting. This leaves room for you to be in the moment with your friends and family and for the relationships you hold dear to translate honestly into photographs. I believe no amount of posing can create a better photo than genuine emotion and the opportunity for spontaneity (and a little chaos ha) to unfold. I include all parts of your wedding day, the preparation, the in-between, the moments that didn't go quite right - so you you can relive the full day, with the ones you love, every time you look at your photos.

“We were beyond impressed with Kylee, and if we could go back and do it all over again, she'd be my top choice for our...” — Jenny, 4 months ago

I know being in front of the camera is awkward and makes some people uncomfortable. My job is to make them comfortable, and pose them- but also make them comfortable enough to express their emotions during special moments. I think capturing raw emotion is so important, because when you look at those photos, you remember what you were feeling, you remember that moment! I also adore creating artistic photos with western flare.
