Taylor & Jamey at The Hutton House

The Hutton House · Medicine Lake, MN

We met Taylor and Jamey at a wedding of all places — his sister Hayden’s wedding that we were filming. They weren’t engaged yet, but they were soon after. Hayden tells how their relationship began: they met, and Jamey was smitten. We love the sense of humor and love for fun these two have. A week before the wedding, we filmed a cozy in-home session — they danced around the kitchen to their favorite songs while making pancakes. It was adorable.

Taylor and Jamey’s wedding was the very first wedding at The Hutton House, a beautiful new venue on Medicine Lake just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. Their powerful vows, excitement, love, and the support of their family and friends left us wiping tears from our faces (not just saying that either). We are so glad to have been part of this day. Since then we’ve gotten breakfast together and talked about marriage, and even spent an evening wandering downtown Minneapolis with them during Super Bowl week. We’re thankful for clients like these two.

The first wedding at The Hutton House

The Hutton House sits privately near Medicine Lake — white walls, big windows, and rooms that stay luminous even in a Minnesota late-October chill. Alma Films also wrote about filming the first wedding ever held here; that celebration was Taylor and Jamey’s. For couples searching for a Medicine Lake or Twin Cities wedding videographer, the venue gives atmosphere close to downtown Minneapolis without losing a quiet lakeside neighborhood.

We filmed with a story-driven approach: the people who filled the rooms first, the architecture second. White light, winter florals, and a sparkler exit into the night — the film stays with how the day felt when vows landed and when family closed in around them.

“Taylor, you have done nothing but captivate me. I want you to know that what I vow to you today will not be overly elegant or eloquent, but I mean everything I say to my deepest core... Taylor, I vow to choose to love you — and only you — every day for the rest of my life.”

Pancakes, favorite songs, and the week before

A week before the wedding, Taylor and Jamey invited us into a cozy kitchen session — pancakes on the stove, favorite music playing, dancing between the counters. That in-home chapter belongs in the same story as the ceremony: humor, ease, and the way they already moved together before the formal day began.

Hayden’s voice in the film — telling how they met and how Jamey was smitten — grounds the narrative in family. Those are the imperfect, specific details a highlight reel of pretty rooms would miss.

Vows that meant everything

Their vows were not polished for a brochure. One promise named captivation without over-elegant language, and chose love — only you — every day for the rest of life. The room answered with the kind of support that leaves a filmmaker wiping tears, not because the light was perfect, but because the words were.

Reception tables glowed with taper candles and deep florals; later, sparklers lit a carry-out exit into the cold. The film holds both: the quiet of promising, and the noise of celebrating.

Why this film matters

A Hutton House wedding film from the venue’s first celebration is not a brochure for white walls and big windows. It is a record of how Taylor and Jamey sounded when they vowed, laughed in a kitchen over pancakes, and walked out under sparklers with the people who love them. Years from now, they will not only see where they stood. They will feel who they were.
