At the same time, the state’s population is less than 700,000 which usually present an atmosphere for weddings that is charming and “small town” in feel. Over half of North Dakota is covered with the Great Plains, which presents endless wedding photography locations. The southwest portion of the state contains the Badlands, wherein resides Theodore Roosevelt National Park, a setting that resonates beauty to surround you as your wedding photographer shoots your wedding pictures. Lake Sakakawea, the 3rd largest man-made lake, is a large reservoir on the Missouri River, presenting a stage of beauty for your wedding photographs.
