Taylor & Jenna:: Bayview Wedding

It was the year 2000. At Eden Prairie High School, one sweet (and amazing) sophomore trumpet player noticed another senior trumpet player in class. By the time summer came and the long awaited band camp happened, Jenna’s crush on Taylor had come to fruition and the two awkwardly danced together on the last night of camp. It also started a spark in both of them. The two continued through college together and their love for the arts, traveling, and adventure brought them to skydiving, Croatia and many concerts at the Minnesota Orchestra.

Taylor knew that he wanted to make Jenna his wife and one day decided to leave work early and stopped at Patisserie 46 for French macaroons and and a bottle of chardonnay. He put it on ice and waited until she arrived home. Unsuspecting anything, Jenna walked into her home with her favorite classical music playing in the background and an assortment of wine and treats waiting for her on their deck. Of course she answered yes and the two enjoyed a beautiful evening and a walk to their favorite pizza place, Detello’s for dinner.

Their wedding day held plenty of joy with friends and family as well as being incredibly hot, but made for a gorgeous day. (It was about 60 degrees warmer than their engagement session!!) Jenna’s Aiden Mattox dress was stunning as she walked down the aisle and held handmade paper flowers she and her bridesmaids in J Crew Dresses had created because she was allergic to flowers. The two incorporated their love for music into their ceremony with classic pieces like The Swan and Arabesque No 1. The reception was held at Bayview on Lake Minnetonka while they hosted chardonnay and danced with some awkwardness to reenact their first dance as high schoolers at band camp!

Jenna and Taylor, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. You are both amazing kind and loving people and I wish you so much happiness and love in life.
