Jenna and Collin met and fell in love at Colorado State University in 2016. Jenna made the first move after she saw Collin at a lacrosse party chatting with their mutual friend and thought he was cute! Jenna insisted her friend introduce her to Collin, and the rest is history. They shared many “firsts” at a local lacrosse house on campus – first-time meeting, first kiss, first lacrosse cocktail party, and many more memories!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When Collin graduated college, he moved back to Orange County, where he is from. Their relationship turned long distance for a little over a year, during which they learned many life lessons and knew that it would all be worth it in the long run!<\/p>

After Jenna graduated college, she followed Collin out west. She started her journey in her graduate program, and they were finally in the same state again. The two found their footing in their careers, moved to LA, and soon after got engaged! They recently got hitched in late September of this past year. Since being married, the two have honeymooned in Costa Rica and have enjoyed time as newlyweds during the busy holiday season!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The wedding ceremony took place in a picturesque location overlooking the ocean, while the reception was organized at a private residence in the backyard. Jenna reminisces about the moments leading up to the wedding: “I wanted the space to speak for itself as the venues were already so stunning. My mantra has always been ‘less is more.’ Both spaces were very green, lush, and organic, so I stuck with an all-white theme – all white florals, bridesmaids dresses, white linens, neutral decor, etc.”<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
