“If the scale could go up to 100 stars, Hitch Studio would be beyond that. They were the easiest wedding planners to communicate with and the most understanding when it came to our vision and goals. The quality of their work was amazing - from the smallest details to the bigger aspects of our wedding day. We received so many compliments on everything they contributed to, from decorating our reception to serving as our officiant. Renee at Hitch Studio became a lifelong friend after our incredible experience with them.

Running a full-time photography business is no joke, but I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

I feel that even as a seasoned professional, it's always important to keep moving forward. And that's me! Always on the move. ​​ My studio space is located in Downtown Brookings, SD, while I live and work most days from my home in Milbank. When I'm not creating magic in the studio, I find myself living in my car most summers; exploring new areas that spark creativity, and meeting my clients at unique locations.

The Kayla Effect 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $80
  • Serves Brookings, SD

The Kayla Effect was born from a passion for art. I have always loved using the gifts God has given me. From drawing with pencils, to acrylics, to selling masterpieces of oil paintings, now to enhancing beauty with makeup! As a professional makeup artist, I believe makeup is more than products. It's seeing the look on brides faces when they look in the mirror after my glam. It's the conversations, and bringing a sense of peace to the bride on what might be a day full of nerves. It's finding and enhancing the individuality and uniqueness of each and every person that sits in my chair. I love my job, and I hope you will love your makeup!

“Working with The Kayla Effect was such a smooth experience from start to finish. Kayla made me and my bridesmaids feel so comfortable while getting us ready, and her communication throughout the planning process was straightforward and reassuring. What I loved most was how natural everything looked—the makeup was exactly what I'd envisioned for my wedding day. She stayed on schedule and got through all of us without any rushing or stress. The quality of her work was amazing, and I felt beautiful and confident all day long. I'd absolutely recommend The Kayla Effect to any bride looking for a makeup artist that's both skilled and genuinely easy to work with.”

Hey there!! I am located in northeast South Dakota! I have been doing photography since 2016 and loving every minute of it! I am small town girl but love to travel any chance I get! Weddings are my absolute favorite, they drive my soul!! I would explain my style as bold, authentic, strong and moody! I’m not creating images where every little piece of it is conducted and posed. I just guide you in a way that gets you comfortable and lets you unfold. So I can capture you, your love, your story, just as it is.

“We have worked with Keely, capturing special moments in our life for years now and every time we work with her we have so much fun! She does such an amazing job working with our children (and my husband haha) who aren't always super cooperative when it comes to pictures. The day of our wedding she was there on time and kept us that way all day. She was professional a d had great, creative ideas for one of a kind photos. She is absolutely amazing at capturing those little moments during a shoot that arent always planned but just fill your heart with Joy. We will Continue working with Keely for years to come.”

“We had our wedding reception at the Huron Event Center this past June, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with both the space and the staff. From the very beginning, they communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of the reception, their team was organized, attentive, and truly wonderful to work with. They offered a selection of table décor and place settings in various colors, which made it easy to match our vision. Their experience really showed when they helped us with the space layout and design ideas. They provided thoughtful suggestions that made the room function perfectly for our guests and all the decorations we had. There was plenty of space for everything we wanted, including a large dance floor that kept our guests dancing all night, while still allowing comfortable seating and room to move around. The food was another highlight. They had a wide selection of menu options for both dinner and cocktail hour, and we received many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Many of our guests also mentioned how friendly and professional the staff and bartenders were, which meant so much to us. Overall, we had an incredibly positive experience at the Huron Event Center and are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable.

“SBB was the perfect choice for my wedding. I did not want to spend thousands of dollars flowers just to be thrown away. I did a preview pack just to see how real the flowers looked and choose between two styles. I used the charlotte collection for my wedding, and they all looked beautiful. When we arrived the morning of our wedding our venue coordinator couldn’t believe they were fake! Everything was delivered nicely in about 4 large boxes, and returning them the following day was super easy! Plus they look GREAT in the photos we’ve received so far from our photographer! We also rented candle votives from them, and they came tightly packed so none would break in shipping and I loved the design!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Brookings, SD

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

“Truly a white-glove service! We decided to use Press Record Co for our wedding after deciding against a traditional videographer, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. What makes Press Record Co so special is that it allowed us to experience our wedding day through the eyes of our friends and family. The candid moments, genuine reactions, and little memories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed ended up being some of our favorite parts of the final video. When we received our edited film, we were blown away. It perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that felt authentic to us. We've already watched it multiple times and know it will be something we treasure for years to come. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer or looking for a more personal and affordable option, we can't recommend Press Record Co enough. The entire team was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a unique way.”

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.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”
