Hi, I'm Jenn Petty.

Confused about the name? Don't worry, you're not the first (even my parents keep asking about it). "JeLau" comes from combining my first and middle name (Jennifer Lauren). I wanted something unique to me and without any stigmas attached. A name can say a lot about a person or business and I wanted to make a name for myself.

After receiving my first camera in 2004, I worked my way up in the photography world by assisting, secondary shooting, and experimenting. I fell in love with love and knew that weddings were my calling.

As a former camera-shy child, I understand the fear of being in front of the lens. My job is to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Through laughter, bad dad jokes, and admittedly some puns, I always get those genuine smiles. And I'd love to capture yours!
