KELSEY JADE
South Dakota wedding & portrait photographer
“Midwest and destination film & digital photographer capturing love stories with a joyful and editorial approach.”
From the beautiful Black Hills we call home, to the rainforests of Hawaii, and even lakeside in Italy, we have traveled the world photographing couples and weddings and we truly love what we do!
Refined. Coastal. Romantic. Joyful.
Your wedding day should be relaxed and your images should be
joyful, natural, and full of love.
“We planned our wedding date around her availability, and we are absolutely IN LOVE with our photos!
Kelsey is nothing short of amazing and was so helpful and flexible for our big day. My biggest advice to a future bride? Choose vendors that truly care about their clients and their wedding days. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough to future brides! Worth every single penny!”

FEATURED IMAGES
I have had the honor of documenting love stories lakeside in Italy, next to the vibrant blue waters of Mexico, Hawaii, and Jamaica, and all over mountain ranges in the beautiful Midwest, from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone, the Rocky Mountains and the Black Hills I call home. Here are a few of my favorite images from these spectacular wedding days. It's such a joy to capture the love our couples feel and celebrate their unique stories!

my inspiration
For over a decade, I have photographed the most wonderful love stories all over our country and even abroad, and I have created beautiful images alongside our darling clients on their most meaningful days. I’m most inspired by travel, fashion, unique cultures, architecture, and joyful, real emotion and I am so very honored you are considering me to capture your big day!
Every love story is unique so my creative process is centered around you as a couple and what sets your soul on fire. I want to hear how you met, your wedding ideas, and all about your vision so we can help make it as perfect as possible for you. I can promise you this: you are in capable hands as we begin this partnership to create timeless, beautiful images together. The relationships I have made with my wonderful clients over the years are something I truly cherish and it means so much to me to preserve a family's legacy of love for generations to come.
Are you ready for
your dream wedding day?
“Kelsey went above and beyond and made sure to get every single image that we wanted.
She took absolutely STUNNING photos of every detail and moment of our wedding and she was an absolute delight to work with. I have been in weddings that Kelsey has photographed and that made me want her as our photographer because you can consistently see how dedicated and professional she is.
She worked great with all of my other vendors, and I received so many compliments on how kind she was. We will definitely be using Kelsey as our photographer for every big moment in our life from this point forward!”
