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, her daughter, Justice, has followed in her footsteps, now working full-time at the shop. Starting as a model for flower girl dresses in the runway, she’s now helping run the shop.
Step outside the shop, and you'll find Jennifer in a completely different kind of arena – the gym! This self-proclaimed "gym rat" is gearing up for her first bodybuilding competition in May. And that's not all. She's a triathlon conqueror and will be tackling the Green Lake 12-miler this summer.
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.
With a passion for marketing and supporting small businesses, Hailey founded Media H in 2020. Since then Hailey's been on a mission to uplift entrepreneurs from all walks of life, weaving her magic into their stories and helping them shine.
Hailey's journey is fueled by a deep-rooted passion in helping small businesses shine. She is a relentless advocate for thinking outside the box, constantly striving to unearth unique strategies that set her clients apart from the crowd. For her, marketing isn't just about selling a product or service; it's about crafting experiences and forging genuine connections with audiences.
But what truly sets Hailey apart is her unwavering joy in the process of learning and discovery. In an ever-evolving digital landscape, Hailey sees every challenge as an opportunity to expand her knowledge and refine her skills. She approaches each day with a sense of excitement and curiosity that is truly infectious.
When Hailey's not busy crafting innovative marketing strategies, you'll often find her basking in the simple joys of life alongside her loving husband, adorable daughter, and two loyal rescue pups.
When she's not wrangling chickens, baking endless batches of sourdough, or homeschooling her two little ones, Samantha can be found behind the lens, capturing love stories as a full-time photographer. Her passion for photography goes way back (think pre-Instagram!), fueled by a childhood fascination with the magic of freezing a fleeting moment in time.
Now, on weekends, you'll find her traversing MN, 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 CrossFit 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.
