Scott and Jenna had both been Ocean Lifeguards for LA County for years, but their paths had never physically crossed—until September 2017. Jenna's phone rang with a last minute call to babysit Finley Murphy, a close family friend who was 9 at the time, and Jenna expected a mellow evening. Instead, Finley eagerly declared she wanted to visit 'Snyd's' house to “skydive” (crawl up his ladder into his loft and jump out onto his bed). Scott lived in the studio apartment behind Finley, and apparently did this often. Jenna immediately said no, picturing the chaos that would ensue. But before she could protest further, Finley ran off, leaving Jenna little choice but to follow. Walking into Scott's studio apartment in Redondo Beach, she immediately recognized the vibrant, uniquely-styled paintings that covered his walls. She had unknowingly followed his instagram filled with his handmade art for two years without ever seeing the artist behind the amazing work. After introducing themselves, Scott and Jenna gingerly exchanged a few words back and forth as they watched Finley (literally) bouncing off the walls. Jenna found herself without many words, maybe for the first time in her life, and Scott sweetly let Finley run a muck as she tinkered around his space. Jenna and Finley said their good-byes and let Scott be the rest of the night. Scott reached out to Jenna the following day to "paddle sometime" and later that week they went on their first date which started with a 5 am swim and led to a 9 am surf, 11 am margaritas, a beach day in Manhattan, an evening pier jump, and an incredible dinner out at MB Post... in that order! They started dating officially when Jenna returned from her move to Australia in December of 2018, but he didn't let her leave without her very own painting of their first date... The two of them jumping off the pier together. The painting (seen on your save the date) has hung in their kitchen since the day they moved in together in their tiny one-bedroom apartment, and here they are getting MARRIED almost 7 years later! We are so excited to celebrate with you!!!
