about

For nearly a decade, Jennifer served as a deputy sheriff for Stearns County, her days filled with upholding the law. In 2012, her love of weddings and her desire to be an entrepreneur flourished into opening Wedding & Tuxedo Connection, a one-stop shop for brides seeking their dream day. This wasn't a solo leap – Jennifer joined forces with her business partner Sue, and together they've been wedding day fairy godmothers ever since.

A proud mom of two,  you'll find Jennifer in a completely different kind of arena – the gym! This self-proclaimed "gym rat" is always gearing up for another competition.

When she's not sculpting her physique or helping brides say "yes" to the dress, she's globetrotting to new destinations, rocking out at concerts, or constantly seeking out her next adventure. Jennifer's story is a beautiful reminder that life is full of chapters, and it's never too late to rewrite your happily ever after.

When she's not wrangling chickens, baking sourdough, or homeschooling her three little ones, Samantha can be found behind the lens, capturing love stories as a full-time photographer. Her passion for photography goes way back to stealing her dad's cameras her entire childhood and capturing the world around her.

On weekends, you'll find her documenting weddings and capturing memories for her clients. But for Samantha, it's more than just a job... it's about building genuine connections. Getting to know the couples and families she works with brings her immense joy, and fostering those relationships is a true love language for her.

When the camera is down, Samantha is all about family time. Whether that’s cozy evenings with her husband and kiddos, trying a new workout, planning their next passport stamp, caring for their many homestead animals, and daydreaming about future goals. Her passion for family, her love for the God’s creation, her desire to serve people well, and her endless fascination with capturing love stories all shine through in her work.

After watching her grandma document ever-day life moments throughout her childhood, when the opportunity came to release her inner creative side, she JUMPED! After leaving the full-time workforce as an OB-RN 5 years ago, she dove head first into learning everything & anything about the wedding industry through photography and videography. Now, as a mom of two, she gets to enjoy every little moment with her babies while also fulfilling this lifelong dream of being creative, traveling, and while still providing for her family. You could easily describe her as a huge people-person and very outgoing. If she manages to put her computer or camera away, you'd probably find her at the zoo with her kiddos, grabbing lunch & chatting with friends, or enjoying a cozy night in with her husband.
