Congratulations to Jenna and Hunter on their happily ever after! This gorgeous couple tied the knot in one of the most beautifully done spring weddings we have seen. Their college love story is one filled with love, connection, and adventure! We cannot wait to share their love story and photos with you!Â
“I loved my experience at Mia Grace! I had always dreamed about the wedding
dress shopping experience and couldn't wait for the day. I tried on several
dresses that were all so beautiful - but just didn't feel like me. Instead of getting
discouraged, I decided to just have fun with it and try on several different styles
and just enjoy wearing all of these gorgeous gowns! My stylist asked me how I
wanted to feel on my wedding day and what I pictured when I closed my eyes
and thought about my dress. When I answered her, she came back with a few
more dresses for me to try. As soon as the first dress slipped on - I knew that
was MY dress. I got the butterflies and the tears! I knew that this was the dress
for me! I didn't realize it was possible to find a dress with everything item on my
mental checklist - but I did and to this day I am still obsessed with it!" - Jenna
Love Story & Proposal
Hunter was my best friend from college moved to Northwest Arkansas after graduation and several years later I found myself moving there as well so we reconnected. She told me she was engaged and invited me to a game night with his side of the family. That night was the first time I met Hunter. He says he immediately noticed me and asked my friend if I was single because I was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and she told him I was off limits! It wasn't until THREE YEARS later that we reconnected at another game night with his family that I told my friend that I thought he was cute and really funny. She then told me about the first night we met years ago and I told her to let him know he could make a move. It took him another 3 months to work up the courage to finally ask me out but I masterminded some "accidental run ins" throughout that time so I could keep seeing him
Hunter loves the mountains and we had both recently moved to TN so he
planned a camping trip to the smokeys one weekend. I knew we were getting
engaged soon and I was convinced that I would figure it out before he could ask
but I can honestly say I had NO IDEA it was happening that weekend. After
spending the day walking around town, we were heading back to our campsite to
start making dinner when Hunter suggested we go for a walk by the creek and
look at the fall colors (I LOVE fall and that weekend was peak colors in the
smokeys). We went off the path and found an old cobblestone bridge to an old
homestead and as we were crossing it, Hunter called my name and I turned
around and he was on one knee! He was so nervous that the only words he got
out were "how 'bout it?". I, of course, was freaking out! I didn't believe it at first, I
thought he was faking me out. But then I saw the ring and realized it was actually
happening! He secretly hired a photographer too who captured the whole
moment. It was perfect and so so special. I am so thankful he and I had that
moment just to ourselves!
Wedding
Our wedding was soft, romantic, simple and fun! Pine Hollow Farms was the
perfect venue and we loved each and every one of our vendors. They made the
planning process so seamless and stress free.
Jenna looked stunning in her gown designed by Allure Bridals! The lace applique and tulle ivory fabric complemented with the lines building the neckline and beaded straps and V-shaped neckline fit Jenna perfectly. Jenna looked incredible and the dress suited her vision perfectly.Â
