Unity in Glass

  • Event extras
  • Gifts and favors
  • Starts at $164
  • Serves Columbia, SD

Unity in Glass is the original sand ceremony alternative. We took the Unity concept and Elevated it to a whole new level. We make the Glass, but you and your story are what makes our work truly special! You pick the colors that best speak to you, we ship them to you to combine at your ceremony. You mail them back, and we make you something precious to have and to hold, forever!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we wanted something beautiful, symbolic, and easy to travel with—and this was exactly that. Instead of dealing with sand or candles that can be messy or hard to transport, Unity in Glass offered a meaningful and elegant alternative that truly captured the spirit of our day. Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us. If you're planning a destination wedding—or just want a fresh take on the unity ceremony—this is hands-down one of the best choices you can make. Highly recommend!

Rachel Kost Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Columbia, SD

I've been passionate about all art forms for as long as I can remember! I got into photography as a little middle schooler when I received a digital camera as a gift one year, and took pictures of random objects and landscapes, submitting them into local art shows and fairs. I put my passion on the backburner when I started focusing on my schooling and career. My husband gifted me a fancy camera with lenses for Christmas a few years back and it sparked my love once again! I have an artistic eye if I do say so myself, and love capturing those precious life moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the get go, Rachel was very easy-going and fun to work with. Our wedding day was very smooth and she was in all the places she needed to be to capture the perfect moments! I could not recommend her enough!

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

Hi, I’m Hannah! I grew up in Pennsylvania, but reside on the ranch in South Dakota with my husband! We are both self employed! When we aren't working you can find us riding, roping, riding colts, or just enjoying the view on the porch with coffee! I actually started out photographing horses, but when I started photographing couples, and then weddings- I never looked back! Every couple expresses love differently, and I love capturing that about them. Every couple and wedding is different. Every wedding has its own scenery, vibe and authentic personalizations to it that is SO unique to the couple.
