JeLau Photography

talented family members and friends with iPhones and that might be more fun anyways? Are you nervous about the pressure that comes with having a Photo Grapher? We did that too, at length. I came from the future to tell you in no uncertain terms: Book Jenn. Just do it. I’m so deadass. Book her, and if you’re still on the fence, read the rest of this and then book her. Below I have tabulated Jenn’s achievements into an easily-parsable numbered list for the undecided, in no particular order. Apologies in advance for subject-verb disagreement: 1. First of all she got me, unprompted, to take twenty minutes and vomit out an extremely long, glowing (tldr) review which i have never done ever in my life. 2. Made our photo-shy and awkward personalities feel absolutely comfortable to mug, to do silly Photo Things, to Emote, to look sexy and glamorous and dumb and affectionate and everything in between. I thought it’d be so much pressure to have this professional photographer (and associated entourage) come and Perceive us, but she and her team are so easy and full of personality that you feel totally at home being in yours. 3. Showed up in every interaction with the utmost authority, care, attention to detail, flexibility, and honesty. She (and her lovely team) set the bar extremely, extremely high in terms of communication and professionalism WHILE being so fun and comfortable to be around. We started wishing many of the Wedding People we encountered were more like her in some way. 4. Knows what you don’t know you want: as you’ve realized already, there are a million billion things to decide about your wedding and its adjacent Functions, and sometimes you want a certain thing and other times you’re like, “man, I don’t know, I guess it’d be nice to do before I die.” (We fell very much into this last category.) Jenn never leaves you hanging. If you don’t know what you want, she’s the eye of the storm, always ready with a Vision, a prompt, a suggestion, or her lovely creative eye. Every minute of our sessions with her felt directed and cared for. 5. Knows what you do want: At the same time, if you do have any input on creative direction—from full shoot concepts to the tiniest unformed inklings of what to photograph—all you have to do is mention it, and she throws her full self into making it happen for you. It’s like having a rocket engine strapped to you. It’s crazy. I fully had an out-of-body experience watching her spin our dreams to life. 6. She’s buff as hell. 7. CONSTANTLY STRAPPED TO THE GILLS with THINGS that you NEED and also an Uncrustable too, which a member of her team very kindly offered me at one point. 8. Made us feel beautiful??? In the year of our lord 2025, it’s a big ask to feel comfortable in your body or how you look on camera. But Jenn’s got this ability to capture every unprompted, fleeting, lovely moment where your face opens up and your body relaxes. Those photos are so priceless and she manages to capture a million of them every shoot; we’ll cherish every one forever. Every time she shows you what’s on her camera you want to vomit because of how unbelievable it is. Jenn is incredible at what she does and is the best money I’ve ever spent in my life. I’m jealous of those of you who get to meet her for the first time. Book her.
