VanderWal Wedding

Tylan & Krista VanderWal ❤
September 22, 2018

I have photographed many weddings, but nothing tops capturing a loved ones wedding. Tylan and Krista did a beautiful job planning and bringing all of the elements together. The bridal party looked incredible, the reception hall was absolutely gorgeous… and the chemistry between these two fills these images. Such a beautiful day.

Such a fun idea to take the first of the bridal portraits at the Pipestone Fire Hall, especially with the ladder truck.

My studio is not confined to 4 walls, but rather is the world outside and the only equipment required is a camera and a willingness to look for new perspectives. Lighting comes courtesy of whatever is available; sun, sky, reflective light from the moon – we have access to it all. I feel I am not restricted by subject or location, only by an obligation to record the world I see with honesty, compassion & imagination. My surroundings and subjects are captured with creative eyes and a classic, timeless aesthetic. If you’ve taken the time to view my portfolio of images, you will find I have a deep love for the natural world and it’s beautiful landscape; I am also inspired by theater, and theatrical lighting. I am a photographer. I am a graphic designer. I want to artistically capture, and share your story. Have you visited my portfolio or my website?

Mark Thode

I am a graphic designer and photographer from Pipestone, MN. I was born and raised in Pipestone, graduating high school in the spring of 2007. I received my undergraduate from Bemidji State University in the spring of 2011, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Design Technology. After graduation, I moved back home to Pipestone and worked as a graphic designer for Pipestone Publishing until the fall of 2018. I started my business when I was in college, and then continued running the business in the evenings and on the weekends. I now have a studio space in historic downtown Pipestone, offering portraits and graphic design services. When I am not photographing or creating graphic art, I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and my dogs Kirby & Bailey. I am an avid Netflix binger, and during all hours of the day you will find me listening to podcasts while I work. Thanks for visiting my blog.
