With gas prices and just about everything else involved with planning a wedding rising I understand the need to make sacrifices to still have the wedding of your dreams. A recent survey of South Dakota weddings show Sioux Falls wedding photography and videography costs were $3,467, Madison costs were $2,950, and Mitchell costs were $3,080.

Portrait Memories can do both photography and videography for as little as $1,113 (tax included). I've been taking wedding portraits for nearly 18 years and use state of the art equipment and software to create your lasting memories. Put that experience to work for you and use the money you saved to go towards the dress or honeymoon of your dreams.
