Welcome to my world, a world where a camera is my constant companion, and capturing love in its purest form is my life's passion. I am a candid wedding photographer, and my goal is to interfere as minimally as possible in the natural flow of your special day. Your wedding day isn't about me. It's about you, your love, and the precious moments that weave your love story.To me, every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and perfect my craft. I often find myself engrossed in my camera, experimenting with new settings, and capturing random images just to see the difference they make. While it may seem like play, this continual practice is what enables me to perfectly capture your candid moments.Beyond playing with my camera, I have another guilty pleasure - window shopping for camera gear. Yes, I admit, I have a bit of a shopping problem. But in my defense, the world of photography technology is ever-evolving. Staying updated and having the right gear not only improves the quality of my work, but also enables me to provide you with the best service possible.Being a candid wedding photographer, to me, is not just about taking photos. It's about immersing myself in the joy, love, and excitement of your wedding day. It's about capturing the fleeting moments, the unspoken emotions, and the unguarded expressions that truly reflect your unique love story. It's about giving you a treasure trove of memories that you can look back on, relive, and cherish for a lifetime.So, while I am constantly learning, evolving, and shopping, remember, it's all in service of capturing your special day in the most authentic and beautiful way possible. Here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after!

A Day in the Life of a Candid Wedding Photographer

Hello everyone! Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm thrilled to have the chance to share a bit more about myself, besides the fact that I'm a photographer. I hope this will give you a deeper understanding of who I am when I'm not looking through the viewfinder.I was born and raised in Sioux Falls, a place that I still hold dear to my heart and where I now live with my wife and our beautiful daughter. It's here, in the heart of the Midwest, where I first developed a passion for photography. It all started back in my college days. I was surrounded by friends who were into photography. They all owned cameras, and I was fascinated by the magic they could create with just their equipment and their imaginations. Inspired by them, I decided to give photography a shot, and I've been hooked ever since.But there's more to me than just being a photographer. One of my biggest passions outside of photography is video gaming. I've always been a gamer, ever since I was a kid. There's something about the combination of storytelling, art, and interactivity that I find incredibly captivating. In fact, I'm currently trying my hand at creating my own video game. It's a challenging endeavor, but it's also a lot of fun and incredibly rewarding.So, there you have it, a brief introduction of me, the person behind the camera. I'm just a guy from Sioux Falls, who loves his family, video games, and has an undying passion for capturing life's moments through photography. I hope this gives you a better understanding of who I am, and I look forward to capturing your special moments and turning them into lasting memories.

Luke was incredible! He knew all of the good places to take photos and came prepared with a repertoire of different poses for us! It made everything go so smoothly and he sent us the edited photos in an excellent amount of time! Would definitely use Kneip Film and Photo again for future photo purposes!

We have had Luke take our family photos several times and they are always amazing! Great quality and definitely recommend for any occasion.

Had an awesome experience with this guy! He took couple photos of my girlfriend and I and went above and beyond. Photos turned out great and I could tell he has a lot of experience taking photos. He had also scouted areas in advance and picked an amazing spot for photos. Great customer service making sure we had all the ideas we wanted done and I couldn’t be happier!

I worked as a second shooter with Lucas on a wedding, and he is excellent at what he does. He has a great eye for the small, intimate moments that a bride and groom will want to remember forever.

I want my AI Assistant to be a good mix between casual and professional. I also want to create a resource for aspiring artists to learn from, to cultivate a community of individuals who have a passion for helping others, and to promote local artists in a way that helps them chase their goals.
