Jenna and Alex met in second grade when Jenna moved from Irvine and Alex moved from Monterey, Mexico with their families to live in San Diego. They were part of the same friend group throughout school and eventually started dating during their second year of college. Their wedding wish was to celebrate with their families and friends surrounding them.

To capture their celebration from the wedding morning until the evening reception, the couple chose videographers at Classic Filmworks to create a film of their love story and their fairytale-inspired wedding. They documented the vows, the love between the couple, their beloved guests, and the cherished traditions.

Jenna chose a classy and elegant wedding style. Her dress was a classic choice, and her makeup and hair were natural and reflected her true self. A sweet surprise came from her mother, who had a piece of lace from her own wedding dress sewn into Jenna’s dress as something old. Jenna cherished the moments with her loved ones, including a heartfelt first look with her father.

Alex also chose a classy look for his wedding. He spent the morning with his loved ones, preparing for his first look with Jenna.

The first look was truly unforgettable. When Alex looked at Jenna, he was struck with awe. They cherished some precious moments before making their way to the ceremony space, where they would exchange vows and say “I do.”

The ceremony space was spacious and adorned with white flowers, as more than 300 guests gathered to celebrate Jenna and Alex’s love. The traditional Jewish ceremony was touching and heartfelt, adding to the unique atmosphere of the day. The officiant led the ceremony with grace and wisdom, making every guest feel connected to the love shared between Jenna and Alex. The newlyweds sealed their love with a tender kiss, officially beginning their journey as husband and wife.

The reception was like a fairytale come to life, adorned with gold accents, cascading white flowers, and flickering candlelight. The evening started with heartfelt well-wishes from guests to the newlyweds, followed by their romantic first dance.

As the night went on, Jenna and Alex, along with their guests, joined in the traditional Jewish Hora dance, adding to the magical atmosphere of the evening.
