Ethan Wiese Photography

Hello.

I am a Midwest photographer & videographer based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, documenting wedding photography, family photography, portraits, event photography, and commercial work.

My work blends the glamorous with the authentic, ensuring every moment feels real, yet elevated.

I believe that the best photos are the ones that feel natural. My approach is to tell your story through candid, yet polished images — capturing those unscripted, genuine moments that truly reflect who you are. 

I take my coffee black and spend way too much money on vinyl records and Kodak film. When I’m not taking photos you can usually find me behind a drum set or around a campfire.

Testimonials

  • "Never intrusive, yet always right where he needed to be"

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ethan as our wedding videographer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment he arrived, Ethan was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day feel special. He wasn’t just capturing footage, he was present with us every step of the way, finding the best angles, catching all the little in-between moments, and making sure nothing felt staged or forced.

    You can really tell he cares about his craft and the couples he works with. He blended in seamlessly with the day, never intrusive, yet always right where he needed to be. And let’s talk about turnaround time... insanely fast. We were expecting to wait weeks, but he delivered our highlight video and full footage way ahead of schedule, and it all looked incredible.

  • "He’s warm, easy to work with, and has a way of making everyone feel completely at ease."

    Ethan has been photographing our family for six years, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better experience. He’s warm, easy to work with, and has a way of making everyone (especially the kids) feel completely at ease.

    Our children genuinely look forward to photo sessions with him, and it shows. We’re always getting compliments on how fun and vibrant our pictures are, and how naturally the kids are smiling. That’s all thanks to the relaxed, playful environment Ethan creates.

    He has a true talent for capturing real moments, and we’re so thankful for the beautiful memories he’s helped us preserve over the years.

  • "He just gets it."

    I've worked with Ethan on a wide range of projects—from professional headshots to portraits with my dogs, product photography for freelance work, and even video editing and production. Every single time, the results are phenomenal. He’s incredibly easy to work with, collaborative, and brings a clear creative vision without needing much direction. He just gets it. I’m always impressed by how up-to-date he is with industry trends and how adaptable he is across different types of work. I can’t recommend him enough!
