JeLau Photography

Jenn was amazing! We came from Sacramento and did our engagement shoot in Big Sur. Let me tell you, we’ve been planning this for MONTHS and Jenn was always responsive to my silly questions and have helpful advice regarding my concerns. My fiancée and I tend to be awkward with poses since we’re used to taking photos of other people rather than having our photos taken. Jenn has great vision for composition. We’re very picky people when it comes down to choosing a photographer since we both have some experience in photography and videography. Jenn is able to produce such cinematic yet ethereal photos. Book her NOW. You will not be disappointed!

Jenn is amazing to work with before, during and after! This was the first time my fiance and I have ever had professional photos taken, so we didn't know what to expect, what to wear, how to act, etc.

Jenn was super responsive before, helping us pick out outfits, giving honest opinions and suggestions. During, we didn't know how to pose or how to even "act natural". She went out of her way to make sure we looked good and felt good throughout the session. After, she got pictures back to us super timely, and made sure we were happy with them!

Suggestion: trust the process!! If it feels weird or awkward, trust that it will come out well! Jenn knows what she is talking about :)

Wow, where do I start...First and foremost the professionalism is top notch. I am very picky about who I do business with & family photos are not excluded. Jenn is professional forward, from the moment you inquire everything is laid out & all questions answered. I am not a bride YET but I would believe that Jenn makes this side of stress on the wedding day minimal to none! Going into the session, I am not one to be the center of attention in front of the camera, my partner on the other hand is a different story , but Jenn made me feel at ease & even made me laugh genuinely (which made for the BEST photos). She knows what you want to see & knows the best angles and poses. Because of her professionalism, it was more than fluid & was easy to listen to her direction. If you're looking for a photographer who will meet, nay EXCEED your expectations, JeLau is the way to go. 1,000/10

We have had such an awesome time working with Jenn at a few styled photoshoots. She’s honestly not only so great to work with; but genuinely cares for people and loves to serve them. All of her images capture the truest essence of all her clients, and she can really make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Jenn not only photographs families, but she does anything from the largest of weddings to the smallest of elopements. We honestly don’t say this much; but you wouldn’t go wrong with hiring Jenn for your occasion. We HIGHLY recommend her as she isn’t just a rad photographer, but just an awesome human being.

Not only is Jenn an amazing photographer, she is the most amazing person. Knowing our photographer would be with us basically all day, we wanted someone who not only had amazing work, but also had a great vibe/energy. I was initially drawn to Jenn’s beautiful photos, and after following her on Instagram for a couple weeks it was her personality that confirmed for me she just had to be our wedding photographer. She is supportive, responsive, welcoming, honest, and caring. Our mutual love of true crime and Taylor Swift was icing on the cake! Jenn truly cares about her couples and really puts in the time to get to know you and form a trusting relationship, and having her there feels like having your best friend with you.

My partner and I cannot more highly recommend Jenn as your photographer! Jenn was our photographer for our wedding and we also did an engagement shoot with her. Jenn is open, communicative, loving, detail-oriented, organized, and observant. She has a heart for others and embodies inclusivity in her everyday work. This was true from the first communication we had with her and was consistent and unwavering throughout the year+ we were working together. She is knowledgeable and kind in the way she supports you and is always available with helpful and timely information and suggestions. Jenn always had our back and was so supportive of every request and unconventional tradition that we wanted to include. She was so helpful in every detail including: helping us with our timeline, working well with other vendors and providing recommendations, helping us laugh and relax and be in the moment, wrangling family and friends and lifting them up so they felt confident and supported, making both my partner and I feel like the gorgeous humans we are inside and out and always being available with an affirmation, and sharing herself and her process. Jenn was also always on time, responded to emails and requests very quickly, and got our gallery back in record time for both our wedding and engagement shoot. She was always patient and honestly went above and beyond. All of this is more than enough reason to work with her, and then - THE PHOTOS LOOK AMAZING!!!!! Honestly there is not one that I was not really excited to share! We could not have been more happy with our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Jenn is great with coordinating outfits and posing, and also she has a really great eye. She is so creative and my favorite shots were ones where she said “I know this is weird but trust me” and we went for it! Our photo gallery for our wedding not only captured the depth and complexity of how we were feeling moment to moment, it also mapped out what our experience was like throughout the day. We chose not to have video for our wedding and honestly with the photos we received back, we didn’t need it. Jenn really listened and centered our hopes and concerns to create the best experience for us. She also has a talent for picking out lovely humans and her team of Leslie and Lela was incredible. We had so much fun with them and they were exceptional. Our experience with Jenn has set the bar so incredibly high for photography hopes - 5 stars, 10/10 INCREDIBLE. We adored working with her and would absolutely do so again in the future. She is a human of the highest quality and we will always recommend her and remember working with her with deep gratitude.

Our wedding coordinator recommended a few photographers to us so we got to work stalking some IG accounts. When we came across Jenn, we loved her style and could tell she was incredibly talented. We scheduled a meeting with her and not only were we blown away by her professionalism, she was FUN and COOL. I knew she would be a blast to work with.
We worked together for our maternity, engagement, and wedding photos. She is incredibly talented, highly efficient and provides invaluable information on how to prepare for your session. The sessions fly by thanks to Jenn’s positive energy, efficiency, and ability to make everything fun. Her humor put us at ease and made the awkward moments hilarious which produced some genuine laughter for our candid photos. I felt comfortable telling her my insecurities and she was the ultimate hype person. I can’t recommend Jenn enough and I hope to work together in the future. I miss her!

Jenn is quite possibly the very best in the business. She took both my engagement photos in 2021 and my wedding photos in 2022. The quality of her work is amazing!! She even traveled to meet us in Salt Lake City for our engagement photos so we wouldn't have to find another photographer. She is worth every penny and is easily the best investment I made in my wedding.

She was recommended by my venue and I couldn't be happier with the stunning photos we received. She had me at seeing the quality of her work, her focus on inclusive weddings, and SSDGM. She is SUPER easy to work with - really caring for us and our team to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. She replied to all my emails practically right away and walked me through all of my panic moments. Jenn helped everything go smoothly and even attended our rehearsal so she could help coach our wedding party to receive the best photos.

I wish I had more events for Jenn to shoot. Her humor, generosity, and energy is unmatched. She and her team (shout out to Leslie + our second photographer Nadeen) were an absolute dream. Jenn even surprised us with more photos than we ordered because she simply couldn't narrow it down.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Jenn and the lasting memories her photos preserve. You cannot go wrong with choosing JeLau Photography for your big day!

After my experience with Jenn, I realized that doing a boudoir shoot was one of the best ways to celebrate my engagement! She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and empowered during our shoot. Her communication and collaboration after the shoot was above and beyond anything I could have expected!

Jenn is absolutely amazing and her photography skills are out of this world! I did a boudoir photo shoot with her for my first time, she made me feel so comfortable with her and myself. We also hired Jenn as our engagement and wedding photographer, she made all the sessions so much fun and enjoyable, taking our ideas and making them a reality. We didn’t realize we could look so good, but she clearly did! Jenn has an amazing personality and fantastic team to support her. I couldn’t recommended Jenn enough as a photographer, she books up quick so get on it if you want the best there is!

Jenn is truly the best of the best. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with Jenn. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease the whole time, and snapped some truly incredible pictures. We were nervous about getting professional pictures taken of us, but she made us feel and look so beautiful. As an LGBT couple, we felt so respected and at ease with Jenn, Leslie, and Katie. We had a major change in our wedding plans after booking Jenn, and she was so patient and flexible. We would 100/10 recommend!

Jenn was perfect. I picked a location where the weather was unpredictable so everytime we had to reschedule she was totally flexible & understanding. The pictures she took of my fiancée & I we’re breath taking, they definitely captured the love we have for each other. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I did a boudoir (my first!) with Jenn, and can I just say, WOW! Our session definitely exceeded my expectations. I was so anxious before because I am not typically good with photos and am not the most confident, but from the get go Jenn did an amazing job of not just making me comfortable in my own skin, but CONFIDENT! Not to mention she is so professional and passionate about her work. She genuinely cares about each client, that is clear to see. I had such a blast I might have to do it again. Thank you, Jelau Photography!

I did a boudoir shoot with Jenn. I was very excited leading up to the day. During I felt comfortable and confident even though it was an intimate shoot. Jenn made the environment inviting and creative. It really felt like a collaboration but with guidance from a pro. After the shoot Jenn always answered all my emails and phone calls. I’m in love with my set and the photo album that was personalized and delivered to my house. I will always love looking through the photos Jenn created.
