Jenna & Matthew

This is the story of a Canadian bride, and an American groom. The two are here to tell their story in hopes that you will choose them as the wedding photography give-away winners!:) Their relationship began in Myrtle Beach in May 2005. Jenna traveled to Myrtle Beach to lifeguard for a summer. It was there that Jenna and Matthew met at their first lifeguard training session. From then on, the two of them were inseparable! They spent a summer full of love and laughter together. In September 2005, Jenna was forced to return to Canada after her work visa had expired. What started as a summer romance became something the couple had never expected. They were so in love, that a long distance relationship became the natural next step. For three years Jenna and Matt would spend endless hours on the phone, racking up phone bills that were unimaginable, but they didn’t care. Jenna would fly to North Carolina every chance she could get, and Matthew would fly to Ontario whenever he could! This relationship was anything but normal, but they liked it that way! In July 2008, Jenna and Matthew Graduated from University. They knew that they couldn’t spend anymore time apart. The couple embarked on a journey to South Korea where they spent a year teaching English. It was there at a dolphin show, that Matthew proposed to Jenna (where naturally, she said YES!). The couple decided to get married where they first met! They booked their wedding at the Breakers Resort in Myrtle Beach. They are now in North America where they are planning their wedding (Jenna in Canada, and Matthew in the Unites States). The couple has endured their share of challenges, yet would not trade it for anything in the world! Matthew and Jenna fell in love with Brooks photography. However, due to their financial situation, they need your help! The couple noticed that there is a contest open, so they decided to register and tell their story! They are crossing their fingers and their toes in hopes that you will find them deserving enough of this amazing prize package!
