About JeLau Photography

JeLau Photography

Wedding photographer

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

I travel to any destination you'd like and I'm up for any kind of terrain, whether that be hiking the glaciers in Alaska or camping for three days off the grid at a beautiful piece of land that's been in your family for generations. Everyone has a love story that is unique and special to them, and each of those stories deserves to be told. I will capture your day in the way that best expresses who you are and truly tells your story. After all, isn't this day about you anyways? We fiercely support inclusivity and welcome all love. LGBTQ+ Friendly.

    JeLau Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, the owner Jen was so helpful, direct, and kind - making the entire process leading up to the big day smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, Jen kept me feeling calm and on schedule, and made every moment fun and enjoyable. The quality of their work is truly outstanding - the photos are absolutely beautiful and captured the perfection of our special day. Jen is an amazing person which makes her amazing to work with, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. We couldn't recommend JeLau Photography more highly!

    Jenn is everything!!!

    After we took our engagement photos with Jenn I knew it was a match made in heaven…. She was such a professional and made us both feel very at ease. We aren’t huge on posing for pictures for hours, but Jenn and her team made it super fun and relaxed! She gave us plenty of tips and direction on how to pose, but also allowed us to have some really genuine moments that were captured absolutely perfectly!! After working with her for our engagement session, I felt so at ease leading up to the wedding knowing she was going to capture everything I wanted (plus more!!). She truly made my wedding day run so smoothly, it wouldn’t have been nearly as relaxing and stress free if it weren’t for her. From helping with timelines, to making adjustments for a rainy morning…and stepping in literally wherever she was needed, I truly felt like she had my back! Jenn and her team (shout out JoJo and Leslie - y’all are the best!) are truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

    Where do I even begin with Jenn?! There truly are not enough stars for her. We hired Jenn about a year before our wedding, and she stood out from every other photographer I interviewed from our very first call. Most photographers spent maybe 10–15 minutes getting to know Michael and me, but Jenn spent a FULL HOUR with me actually walking through what our wedding day could look like. At that point, I had no idea what a wedding-day timeline was supposed to look like or even what questions I should be asking. She helped paint a picture of how the day would flow, how much time we would need, and what to expect. I barely had any questions left because she had answered them all — including the ones I didn’t even know I needed to ask. I got off that call feeling SO confident that we would have incredible guidance throughout our day. Jenn also offers multiple packages and was incredibly flexible throughout the entire process — even a couple days before the wedding when we realized our absolutely INSANE shot list meant we needed more coverage. 😂 Although we had communicated through social media, text, etc. throughout the year, we first met Jenn in person when she came to my in-laws’ ranch for our engagement photos. We did a pizza-making shoot, and she made it SO much fun. She had amazing ideas, made us feel completely comfortable behind the camera, and after the shoot was over, she stayed, hung out with us, and made pizza. That pretty much sums up Jenn — she genuinely connects with the people she works with. By the time our wedding came around, she already felt like a friend. By the time it was over, she truly felt like family. On the wedding day, Jenn was MAGIC. She was organized, calm, hilarious, confident, and somehow managed to keep our VERY jam-packed day moving while still making everything fun. Between Jenn and our planner Jess, they were basically our wedding-day drill sergeants 😂 and I genuinely don’t know how they managed to make every single thing we had planned happen. Looking back at videos and hearing Jenn’s commentary in the background literally had us crying laughing the next day. But what makes Jenn so special goes so far beyond being an incredible photographer. She didn’t just show up and do a job. She showed up for US. She was our photographer, hype woman, comedian, timekeeper, and calming presence all at once. She brought so much energy, fun, calm, and love to our day and genuinely made it more special just by being there. The day after our wedding, a bunch of our cousins came over for dinner, and Jenn was literally one of the main topics of conversation. 😂 Everyone LOVED her. At this point, I’m pretty sure she’s officially been adopted into the Brigantino family and should expect invitations to future family events… Christmas included. 🤣 Jenn, you are absolute magic at what you do. We love you to pieces and truly cannot recommend you enough. Choosing you was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. ❤️

    Jenn did an amazing job with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We really enjoyed getting to know her throughout the process, and after our engagement session we even got to spend some extra time with her, which made us feel that much more comfortable going into the wedding. On the wedding day, we had a ton of different photo combinations we wanted to get through before the ceremony, and Jenn somehow managed to fit everything in while keeping things organized and moving smoothly. She was so enjoyable to be around, but at the same time made sure we got every photo we wanted. Most importantly, the photos came out amazing. We couldn’t have been happier with the end result and are so grateful to have these photos to look back on. We highly recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer!

    Working with Jen was an absolute dream. She is not only incredibly talented behind the camera, but also calm, professional, organized, and so thoughtful throughout the entire wedding day. From the very beginning, Jen made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which is such a gift on a day with so many moving pieces. She captured the couple, the details, the emotion, and the overall feeling of the day so beautifully. Her eye for those candid, meaningful moments is truly special. As a planner, I also appreciate how easy she is to work with. She communicates clearly, stays on top of the timeline, and works seamlessly alongside the vendor team. She also knows how to spice it up when needed and keep the energy moving, which is so important on a wedding day. Having a photographer like Jen makes such a difference, and I would happily recommend her to any couple looking for someone talented, kind, fun, and trustworthy to capture their wedding day!!
