JENNA AND PETE: THE CROWD-SURFING BRIDE + GROOM. // Montage Palmetto Bluff Wedding
“I have never seen someone plan the party, and then BE the party like Jenna.”
LET ME JUST TELL YOU RIGHT NOW — THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR JENNA AND PETE.
Wedding Weekend Locations + Venues: Montage Palmetto Bluff
This elegant family fete took place at Montage Palmetto Bluff. If you’re unfamiliar with this property — it is wonderful. In Bluffton, South Carolina, the level of attention to detail is incredible in this sprawling community.
Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party
So the wedding weekend kicked off with their Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party at Moreland Landing.
Arrive By Fabulous Hinckley Yacht.
[WE HAD SO MUCH FUN FLYING THE DRONE FOR THIS AMAZING ENTRANCE!]
Wedding Ceremony + Cocktail Hour + Reception
Jenna and Pete’s gorgeous wedding ceremony took place the following day at Somerset Chapel, with Cocktail Hour and Reception at Village Green and May River Lawn.
Raging After Party, Post-Party Party
Raging after party to follow at the River House with 220 feet of Milar Fringe. Buckle up.
Rehearsal Dinner + Hinckley Yacht Entrance At Moreland Landing
It’s not every Palmetto Bluff wedding we have a boat entrance, so flying the drone was a must.
Wedding Day Of: These Palmetto Bluff Sail Tent Reception Details Though…
I couldn't stop filming the florals and that dang pitcher plant on the side of the tent all day. Not even kidding. The most GORGEOUS interior sail tent set up we’ve ever filmed!!!
And That Dress…
That amazing dress! This was such a sweet moment of Jenna with her mom and sister getting ready.
The Bridal Party + Somerset Chapel Ceremony
It’s always challenging to keep the energy of a video up through a procession with a large bridal party. I loved layering in candid moments with the bridesmaids and the groomsmen into the procession. Such a solid crew!
The Gorgeous Sail Tent Reception On The May River Lawn
…Can We Talk About The Speeches?!!
From Jenna's sweet sister Kelly sharing an incredible poem from 1996 Pete wrote (with STAGGERINGLY ACCURATE future foreshadowing!!!) and Johnno's hilarious toast and accurate accounting of Pete's approach to life, this was a riot.
CROWD SURFERS.
In the last decade of filming hundreds of weddings, we have never witnessed a bride and groom at a wedding crowd surf. Until now.
We could hardly keep our cameras steady from catching the energy of these two--The world is NOT ready for these party animals and their crew!!
Trust The Man's Process...

The Exit…To The After Party…
These two floated out of their reception on the Lawn with that iconic sparkler exit — over to their RAGER OF AN AFTER PARTY.
And 220 feet of mylar fringe later -- we have an EPIC after party.
Things got weird (as they should), and we loved every second of it -- YOU KNOW WE LOVE A GOOD RAGER.
“Jenna busted out her signature cartwheel (a modification from her go-to split landing, given she was in her wedding dress...)”
