Monick Yard's, the newest wedding venue, is located right in the heart of Downtown Sioux Falls. Monick Yards is elegant and chic, and creates a modern and fresh perspective on wedding celebrations in South Dakota.


The venue's sleek design and contemporary architecture provide the perfect backdrop for any kind of photography photoshoot and is perfect for the modern and classy bride's wedding aesthetics. The venue has clean lines, minimalist décor, and a beautiful color palette that is organic and charming. I also love how this venue also has two separate indoor areas so you can have your ceremony on one side of the venue and the reception / cocktail hour in another.


For this styled shoot, I drew inspiration from the venue. I wanted the shoot to feel luxurious, clean, modern, and chic! The bride wore a stunning dress from a local bridal store, Marie & Marie, that blended classic elegance with simplicity. The dress was perfect for complementing the beautiful bouquet in hand, the venue's surroundings, and the gorgeous model. We set up the model in areas of the building that had light poring through the window's to create a dramatic effect. In a space that is as stunning as this one you do not need much to create magical photos, sometimes less is more!


This new wedding venue in Downtown Sioux Falls will be amazing for couples looking get married in South Dakota. Its modernism and professionalism makes it an easy choice for those seeking a wedding venue that is as unique as their love story! Your special day deserves a setting that is as extraordinary as the love you share, and this venue delivers that and more.
