Joe + Jenna
lodge wedding
July 15th, 2023
“Through the years we have had milestones, happiness and challenges. Through them all I find myself loving you more each day.”
“You are my miracle. Thank you for choosing me and for loving me. Thank you for being patient with me and reminding me every single day that life is a precious gift.”
Where to even begin…. I could write dozens of cliches about love persevering through trials but they would be just that, cliches. Joe and Jenna’s love was/is real. Their steadfast and deep love was the undercurrent felt through their entire wedding day and was what fed the overwhelming joy everyone experienced. What a way to begin a life together. We were honored just to capture a glimpse of their love for each other.
Jenna and Joe’s wedding day video captures them getting ready and spending time with family and friends in anticipation of seeing each other at the alter. It includes their ceremony, vows, reception and everything in between.
What a perfectly beautiful day in Walker MN for an absolutely wonderful couple. Thank you for letting us be a part of your day and may your life together be truly blessed!
Meet The Couple
HOW DID YOU GUYS MEET?
Met through friends in college.
WHY DO YOU WANT US TO CAPTURE YOUR WEDDING DAY?
We want these memories to look back on for the rest of our lives and be a statement for us and our life together.
TELL US ABOUT THE PROPOSAL (EVERY DETAIL)
Joe asked me earlier in the week to go for a walk on Folly beach, just the 3 of us (including our dog, also named Folly), that weekend. Joe knows how much I love the beach so I was excited. When Sunday may 16, 2021 came, we headed for the beach. Apparently Joe was about to get down on his knee, when our dog decided to poop in the water. It was a little bit of a disaster, but after it got cleaned up, we walked a little further, Joe tried again. He got down on one knee, our dog didn’t poop, and I said yes!
WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN FULL WEDDING MODE, WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am a teacher, Joe works in beer sales and distribution. Our life has been very atypical this past year, since Joe’s I’ll Ed’s and paralysis. Before Joe got sick, a perfect day would be spent on the beach or boat, and cuddling our dog at night.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE LODGE FOR YOUR WEDDING VENUE?
Our wedding venue is beautiful, and in Joe’s hometown. It’s just a few blocks from Joe’s childhood home!
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR VISION FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY ITSELF.
We just want our friends and family to have a good time. We want to celebrate our love and the fact that we have survived the hardest year. As long as everyone is happy and healthy, we will be good!
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES IN 10 YEARS TIME?
Hopefully with Joe healthy, maybe even walking again, and with children of our own.
