Absolutely loved working with Greg! We choose him because we are both in the military and he is a fellow veteran. He was incredibly professional, easy to talk to and very artistic! His photos were beautiful, classic but refreshing. I don’t have the words to express how happy we were with his work!

Greg and LaRae are phenomenal!! By the end of our trip with them, not only were we impressed with the photos and professionalism, but we thought of them as good friends. I cannot recommend them enough. They made us feel comfortable in every situation, and worked well with every single person in our wedding party. The photos were extraordinary and everyone who has seen them has not stopped raving about them. 6/5 stars and we are telling everyone we know about them. You will not be disappointed.

Greg was phenomenal to work with. From the moment we first met him and viewed his work, we were impressed by his professionalism, creativity, energy, and excitement for photography. He was able to capture the essence of the day and was so much fun. We look back at the photos Greg captured and they immediately take us back to our wedding day to relive the awesomeness. Greg is professional to work with and had a plan for locations and ideas for photos. What we appreciate most was his ability to capture and let our personalities shine while taking pictures. We would highly recommend Greg & LaRae for any photography but especially weddings.

Had the opportunity to work with Greg at a December wedding in Brookings, SD this past year. He was absolutely terrific. He never seemed in the way when it came time to focus on the bride and groom. He knew where to be to get the best shots and came very fully prepared with enough equipment which was set up with plenty of time prior to the ceremony. His personality is easy going, with a business approach. he is easy to talk to, but knows when and how to get the best shots to capture a moment. He comes in with a plan, while also taking into account the wishes of the bride and groom for specific moments. I was impressed with his confidence, it made you feel like every shot was going to turn out great. He also had great creativity when it came to capturing unique poses, such as jumping, or finding unique locations. There is a reason he is referred as one of the top photographers in the state. Would highly recommend him for any wedding or event.

Greg did a great job on our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos! The pictures came back quicker than I expected from our wedding as well. Both him and LaRae are very personable and friendly and easy to work with! Very talented and amazing work!

Greg captured our engagement and wedding shots this year. He went above and beyond to make our memories unforgettable with his amazing talent and work. Both days of photo shooting were such cold days and he never hesitated to spend hours running around and capturing us to get some photos under the sunlight and sunset. Although Greg has a certain photography and editing style, I believe that there is nothing he can't do. At the end of every conversation and time with Greg, we have always received more than what we expected from him. He has a unique way of capturing and presenting the moments of joy and happiness of you, your friends and family that you cannot catch with your bare eyes at the same moment. Moreover, Greg never limits himself and his clients with only his ideas of poses. He is such an open-minded artist for capturing different views and ideas that may come as a request from his clients. If you have a special pose in mind, he is right there to capture it with his camera. I literally cannot decide which photos I should print out of over a bunch of amazing photos we have recently received from him. Contact Greg and talk to him about every detail you would like to know about capturing the moments of your special days. Tell him what you can/can't, want/don't want as a client and I am sure he will find a perfect way to meet your photography needs according to your preferences. At the end, you will never regret his friendship, fun conversations, generosity, hard work, quality and exceptional talent. Thank you for everything, Greg!

Greg and LaRae Photography did the wedding photos for my brother and sister-in-law. I love the signature edits, especially the photos in front of the chapel and the old law school.

10/25/2018 • Susan S

Outside the box I was a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding. It was my first time meeting Greg. I was very impressed with his skills and eye to capture the subtle aspects of a picture and make things pop. Greg was professional and yet approachable. He was willing to listen to what the bride and groom asked but also throwing in his experience to guarantee fantastic pictures! Thank you Greg for providing a fun and memorable experience!

10/24/2018 • Zach S

Professional shots of the whole day without being intrusive of the celebration. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed having my engagement and wedding photos with Greg! He has an impeccable eye for color, composition, ...pretty much all things in the art of photography! Each image he captures are timeless moments of happiness, joy and love. He is professional and very passionate in what he does from large family group portraits to artistic and vibrant photos of us. Greg is truly the best, I highly recommend Greg & LaRae photography for anyone who wants beautiful & gorgeous moments captured!

10/22/2018 • Lillian K

I was very impressed with the quality of the photos they did for my friend’s wedding. They seemed to have a real knack for finding the best lighting and angles that made the space look incredible. They were also great to work with-they really went with the couple’s vision and asked for input at every step, but gave clear directions to enhance it and make it come to life. I’m so glad I got to be apart of this great day, and the moments these photographers helped capture of it will help me remember it for a long time to come!

10/22/2018 • Daulton K

Best man here. Would highly recommend Greg and Larae photography! Somehow they made my best friend look good on his wedding day if you can believe it! Greg has to be a magician lol all jokes aside, photos were great and Greg was easy to work with.

10/22/2018 • Jason B

10/22/2018 • Ashley T

10/15/2018 • Ken W

Thank you so much for taking photos at my daughter's wedding. We are thrilled with the family photos and all of the photographs that captured all the moments throughout the day.

10/15/2018 • Mary W

Attention to detail! Great quality photos for my daughter's wedding. Lots of time spent to achieve the perfect photos.

10/14/2018 • Isaac B

If a picture is worth a thousand words than Greg and LaRae’s are worth a million! Their attention to detail in every single photograph (of which we received 1400 where I could arguably say each one is my favorite) as well as their fun demeanor and extreme professionalism makes them easily the best photographers in the market. I get to relive my wedding day with my wife every time we look at our photos. They captured more than just the day – they captured the story of us. Would highly recommend them for any type of event or memory you want to have memorialized.

10/14/2018 • Jacquelyn B

Greg & LaRae Photography did our wedding photos, and I highly recommend them! The talent and quality they bring to the table is incredible. We received over 1400 wedding proofs and we love EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. For couples who are recently engaged, if I could give one piece of advice when considering your investments for a wedding it would be this: Your flowers will die, your dress will be preserved in a box, but your wedding photos will be one of the few memories you will have to cherish for the rest of your life. Take the time to invest in a good photographer and you will not be disappointed! Looking through our wedding photos allows Isaac and me to re-live our wedding day and remember all of the little moments that go by so fast in the hustle of the big day. The photographs of our family and friends will be something we can look back on for years to come. Thank you again for everything!

Amadu and Danielle’s wedding went very well and I’m glad they had a good photographer who made sure to get in all the special moments between the two. I’ve been friends with the couple for a long time, and the photos of their wedding really showed how much they love each other. They will cherish those photos forever, Greg did an awesome job.

9/17/2018 • Ochan F

Danielle and Amadu’s wedding was so much fun, and there were so many cool elements that Greg was able to capture in their photos. I think he did a great job being active in the wedding and the pictures turned out great! I would recommend him for sure.

9/16/2018 • Danielle M

We are so thankful that we found Greg and Larae to take our wedding pictures. Greg was always super friendly and easy to contact/work with. He had lots of ideas for different angles/etc with our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Not only were they our wedding photographers, they became our friends during the process. Greg went above and beyond the expectations of simply being a photographer; it is obvious he has a passion for his work. If I had to go back and pick everything out again, they would be my first stop on the list! We are truly happy with how our pictures turned out, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Mother and father of the bride: We could not be happier that we chose Greg & LaRae Photography to photograph our daughters wedding. The artistic detail of their photos, the energy they bring to the job at hand and the professionalism they exhibit throughout the whole wedding process was beyond measure! When you have guests who comment "who is that photographer, he is just everywhere" you know you made the right choice! They are just World Class! Gene & Donna Jensen

9/15/2018 • Nicole J

Greg and LaRae are amazing photographers. Found them at a bridal showcase, their pictures immediately caught our eye. Not only are the photos high quality, but they had so much enthusiasm the day of the wedding. Walking around the Outdoor Campus area, getting excited every time they found great spots to stop. Thanks for making the day extra special

9/14/2018 • Bruce O

Exceptional service and photos!

9/14/2018 • Molly J

Greg was the perfect photographer for my bestfriend's wedding. What I personally liked most about him was how he was able to capture all of those special moments, without taking away from the moments themselves. And the pictures really showed how beautiful their wedding was! I would highly recommend him.

9/13/2018 • Molly C

Greg was amazing to work with as a bridesmaid! He made the entire bridal party feel like we were important and that he wanted us all to shine. He gave attention to every little detail, from the lighting, to the poses, to location and beyond. He made it fun despite the heat and us whiny girls! The pictures turned out amazing. There honestly isnt a bad one in the bunch! You cant go wrong with Greg and LaRae Photography. Invest in your wedding, because you deserve the best!

9/06/2018 • tom j

Fantastic energy and great attitude, kept the picture session rolling along at a good pace. The picture quality is unreal! The equipment is clearly top notch. Highly recommended!

7/26/2018 • Shelby V

Greg did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job on our wedding. He was very professional and captured so many amazing moments. As my husband and I sat and looked at the pictures we realized that on the day of, during the wedding and dance, we didn't even notice he was there he did such a good job of blending, but still managed to capture so many pictures ( all keepers). Greg is super kind, fun, and easy to work with. My pictures exceeded my expectations and we love them so much!!

5/15/2018 • Danielle R

Greg & Larae do amazing work! They care about there clients and go above and behond!

12/16/2017 • Jamie R

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED working with Greg and LaRae photography!!! We were searching for high quality photos and photographers that fit our own personality and we most definitely got more! Our photos were out of this world and we wish we could work with Greg every day not just when he is taking our photos haha. With their mainstream popularity they are so flexible, patient, and so understanding! We love Greg & LaRae Photography so much and most deftly recommend them to anyone! We look forward to future photoshoot with them!

Absolute amazing pictures. Very very easy going and a ton of fun to work with. Im so happy that we picked you 2 for our wedding. You both made everyone feel very comfortable. Along with being professional, you both made taking all those pictures actually enjoyable. Thank you both so much for capturing so many great moments throughout the entire day.

10/27/2017 • Holly M

These guys are amazing! Not only are the pictures beautiful and one of kind, they are amazing to work with.

10/26/2017 • Kelsey M

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing Greg and Larae are. They went above and beyond for us. I showed them pictures off of Pinterest that I wanted to do and without hesitation they made it happen. It was last minute and we had lot of people in our wedding party, so it was a lot to ask, but they found a way to do it. Every single picture they took was beautiful and I honestly could not have asked for more!!! Even this review does not do them justice. They were incredibly kind and easy going too. I never felt rushed throughout the entirety of the day and that alone allowed me to be present in each moment. I could go on and on about how fantastic they were/are!!!

10/26/2017 • Tamara B

Love Greg & Larae Photography! Searching for original, artsy photos that don't look contrived and affected? Look no further! You've found the spot. Hubs and I paid for the photos as a wedding gift for our son, and we couldn't be happier with the result(s). The day of the shoot was raining and Greg was game, carting the kids around to different, local Sioux Falls locales. All the shots had Greg's characteristic textured and diverse feel to them as organic backdrops. We got wonderful shots that have a "natural," timeless feel that's equal parts sophisticated yet casual. One of the reasons we chose G&L photography is their superb use of lighting and manipulating it in such a way that the subjects "glow" away from the scenescape. This was never more true then when the ambient light was used, in combination with a rainy day. Affordable and authentic, G&L will be our go-to photogs for future sessions.

10/05/2017 • Ashley L

They photographed my friends wedding and they were a lot of fun and definitely made you feel comfortable in front of the camera! Their work is amazing! Definitely would recommend them to everyone!

10/05/2017 • Darryn B

I was one of the best men in my buddies wedding in August. I must say that I liked Greg's energy while taking photos of us guys. He let us be ourselves and from what I've seen so far, he got a lot of our personalities in the photos.. I would highly recommend them in the future to any of my buddies getting married.

9/25/2017 • Randy C

Greg and LaRae were really great to work with! They were fun and they did a phenomenal job with keeping everyone on track. The photos we've seen are great!

9/25/2017 • Terysha R

Greg and LaRae did an excellent job putting up with the wedding party for my brothers wedding. The wedding party themselves were a little rambunctious and Greg and LaRae used that to their advantage!

9/24/2017 • Brett A

There are those who take good photos. There are those who take great photos. Greg and LaRae are neither of those because they take amazing photos. I would try to write a review that would do them justice so check out their photos and see for yourself

9/23/2017 • Frankie I

Greg put up with all of us rowdy guys at my friend Bryant's wedding, He is a great man and a pretty darn good photographer.. So far from what I've seen of the wedding photos LaRae and Greg have amazing talent.

9/18/2017 • Breann M
