They met at an office holiday party in 2013 after Jay had arranged an introduction from a friend. By the end of the night they had a dinner-date planned that started with Jay’s home-cooking and ended with a moonlight stroll along a frozen river. A year later later they were engaged when he proposed on the shore of Lake Calhoun.
Whitney took great care in planning their romantic, vintage-inspired nuptials. That careful thought shined through in every detail. The Grand Palladian Ballroom was elegantly decorated and so was the wedding party, right down to the cuff links made from real coins. The guests enjoyed the stylish surroundings and danced the night away to the music of Hookers $ Blow, the best live band ever!
It was a spectacular day of fun at the Semple Mansion with their family and friends. Cheers to the happy couple! I was honored to be a part of your special day.

Whitney’s dress, bouquet, and accessories shone as brightly as the memorial candle against the elegant aged wood banister of the Grand Staircase.

Their happiness was evident as we captured these amazing images of the couple and their party on the shore of Lake of the Isles.

The staff of the Grand Palladian Ballroom at Semple Mansion made sure every detail was perfect for the elegant dinner.

From singing with the band to dancing up a storm, this couple showed everyone a thing or two on how to party right!
