Chris + Sydny | Deadwood, SD | Natural Escape Photography | Black Hills Wedding Photographer
Chris & Sydny Mehlhaff | St. Ambrose Church and Martin & Mason Hotel | Deadwood, SD
September 25, 2021
This wedding, where do I even start? Sydny & Chris are both photographers/videographers from Black Hills State. It’s always an incredible honor when we get asked by other creatives to document their special day. And this was our first wedding at the beautiful Martin & Mason Hotel in Deadwood, SD. We got to capture all of the getting ready details at the hotel and I wish we could have stayed here longer. The rooms are gorgeous! These two had a Catholic ceremony at St Ambrose Church, another beautiful and historic spot in Deadwood, so then we had the rest of the afternoon for photos.
You never know what our weather may do in the hills in the fall, but we lucked out with 80 degrees and sunshine! So we actually took Chris & Sydny’s family members and bridal party to the Deadwood Welcome Center for outdoor portraits before taking bridal portraits outside of town. We ended up getting a combination of fall colors, hills views, and some gorgeous golden sunlight for their photos which always makes us so happy. Then the newlyweds arrived to their venue in a classic car for dinner & dessert and then danced the night away in the beautiful Martin & Mason hotel. And what wedding of ours is complete without stealing the bride & groom away for a few light shots? This wedding was a dream and we loved being a part of it. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Mehlhaff!
