About

Lavender Bouquet Photography is composed of a professional team of portrait and wedding photographers based in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

We strive to create thought-provoking images for each wedding we capture. We are storytellers and problem solvers. We create images that are dramatic, detail-oriented, and breathtaking. We use a combination of studio flash, strobes, and natural light–we are ready for any lighting situation and love the challenge.

We have had the pleasure of photographing over 200 weddings in multiple locations in the PNW and abroad. In Summer of 2021 we relocated to Rapid City, SD.

Wedding photography

Cydney was an amazing wedding photographer! I am SO thankful we went with her. I asked for dark, moody pictures and, she delivered! Cydney was very supportive of my requests and had so many great suggestions. She was full of tips and tricks that made for great pictures. She was a calming force in the middle of wedding madness. I can't remember much from that day, but I am so lucky to have beautiful photos to look back on. HIGHLY recommend working with Cydney, she is a gem!

Gorgeous photos, hilarious and talented couple!

Cydney and Jason are so delightful to work with! They were so good at putting us at ease, when neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, and I was definitely very stressed the morning of the wedding when they arrived. They were so flexible and helpful with all the changes we had to make since coronavirus forced us to scrap all of our original plans.

the pictures they took were absolutely amazing and I know I will treasure them for the rest of my life. We made them do both our engagement photos and our wedding pictures in the middle of the day, so far from ideal lighting conditions, but they worked some beautiful magic. I would recommend these two to anyone

Amazing service & STUNNING photos

Jason & Cydney are incredible photographers and an absolute blast to work with. They go the extra mile to get you the best and most stunning photos you could imagine. They were one of the main reasons our wedding went so smoothly and they were there for every minute of it, capturing moments that we’ll treasure forever. They truly care about getting you quality photos that are absolutely gorgeous. I also appreciate that their photos do not have logos, etc. embedded in the background so your photos are clean and stunning. I usually do not like pictures of myself but because of their experience & quality shots i love every single photo that they took and each one is special. I really cannot say enough good things about them and can’t thank them enough for making our day so special. We HIGHLY recommend them!! You will not regret it.

I met Jason and Cydney at my friends wedding last year. Their wedding pictures were amazing! Once I got engaged and started planning, Lavender Bouquet was my first call. After seeing their work from other weddings, my fiancé and I knew we wanted them for our wedding. Communication was a breeze and the planning process was easy as well. Jason and Cydney work so well together and they made us comfortable too. Once I got my sample pictures back from my wedding, I was thrilled with how they turned out! I couldn't imagine anything better!

My husband and I cannot thank LBP enough for what they captured on our big day. The pictures are beyond stunning and gorgeous! They quality of their photos is unbelievably amazing, and the fact that they don't charge twice to three times as much for what they offer is mind boggling. They are a really down to earth couple who know how to work perfectly together to get just the right shot, each and every time. At any point in the planning process that I had questions or suggestions on shots, they got back to me very fast, and were very open to fun and interesting picture ideas! We had a blast doing some special shots! They are very professional, but also know how to talk to people like people. They have fun personalities, and were able to get the kids attention when needed. As I said before, I am surprised to see them charge so little for what you get in the end. You definitely get what you pay for, and I would have figured to pay way more for what they gave us! I would highly recommend LBP to all of my friends and family, as well as anyone that is looking for a photographer for any occasion! We look forward to many more family sessions with Jason and Cydney!!!

Jason and Cydney are seriously one of the best and I will shout it to the mountain tops until I die!! My now Hubby and I are definitely honest and know when we aren't feeling something or when we feel we made the wrong decision in choosing things... but choosing Lavender Bouquet to do our Wedding was the BEST decision we ever made.

Our wedding was small and had ONE big hiccup (Important family members were late) and so the wedding started later than normal. But with everything that happened, they were AWESOME. They were accommodating by bringing umbrellas when it rained and took everything as it came with the "no worries' attitude!

My husband can be a man of few words most of the time with the "its cool" answer to everything... but he has nothing but kind and sincere words about Jason and Cydney and how wonderful they were the day of. He tells everyone that he can tell that they absolutely love what they do, and its true!

The pictures made them EVEN MORE AWESOME!!! They came out phenomenal and EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE from family, to friends to coworkers) RAVE about our pictures and love them just as much as we do. They have this creative eye for capturing things that I wouldn't have even thought of and when I came up with the idea of getting some pics by my husbands Camaro, they were like "OH YEA LETS DO IT!!"

I will use Lavender Bouquet for EVERYTHING now and will never stop referring them to people who want amazing pictures. Seriously, you will not regret it!

Lavender Bouquet did an amazing job on our wedding photos! Cydney and Jason were super friendly and very accommodating to our requests. They are professional and it is clear they want to do all they can to make your photos beautiful lasting memories. I don't know how they do it; we were tired and hungry (and cranky) at times and they could keep going with smiles! We got to know Cydney and Jason and hope to have the opportunity to work and/or visit with them in the future (even though we're in California and they're in Seattle!) --that's how great they are! They're responsive to questions and requests and do whatever you need in more than a timely fashion. Their work is artistic and so unique that many commented that our pictures could be in magazines! Don't be surprised if you see their names in big print one day somewhere! It is obvious LBP wants to make the client happy and does so effortlessly. Their photos are just as great as their personalities. You will love them!! Thank you, so much, for your hard work and great product, Lavender Bouquet Photography!!

All I can say is WOW! We have been impressed with Jason and Cydney from our first phone meeting. You can tell that they truly enjoy what they do and are so good at it. They are so much fun and make you feel relaxed even when things are running late and the weather is iffy! They listened to what we wanted out of our wedding pictures and then went above and beyond what we imagined. People have raved about our pictures and everyone was floored when we got our pictures back so quickly. We are excited to use them for again soon!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I can't say enough about LBP. Their experience, education, and photography skills are easy to see in the gorgeous photos they produce. On top of having mad skills with shooting and editing, they are SPECIAL. Vendors need to work together on wedding days to ensure the event is smooth and all vendors have their time to accomplish the bride and grooms vision of the day. Unfortunately, many photographers fall short in communication. LBP goes above and beyond to work with all the vendors and communicate! It is such a relief to work with them! And, they don't just cut out once the dancing starts, as many photographers commonly do. Jason is right there in the action, documenting the party! You just can't go wrong adding them to your team for your wedding.
