From "Will you marry me?" to "I Do," I capture it all.

Why We Love Big Sur
Big Sur is a magical place and more and more people are discovering it every single year. With dramatic coastal scenery and amazingly beautiful beaches, there's no bad angle whichever way you turn.
There are, however, better places to "pop the question." If you value your privacy and want an intimate space for you and your partner, I'm happy to suggest the best locations per your preferences.
Let me help you find your perfect proposal location.
We'll Take You to Some of Our Favorite Spots:

We photographers take special pride in finding the unique and secluded locations for our couples and their special moments so for obvious reasons, we share our exact locations upon booking 😉
Proposal Galleries & Reviews
Zack + Kiera
"I can’t even believe to express my gratitude to Jenn and Leslie for not only capturing but also helping Zach plan the most perfect re-proposal ever! With us not being from the area they helped him pick the most perfect spot with the most incredible views. They worked with him very last minute and made him feel so comfortable during the planning process - I mean for him to find the location, show up at the right time and execute I knew he had to have had some help and I couldn’t be more grateful he was in the best hands possible!!! Jen made us feel so comfortable her energy is incredible and she is your personal hype woman. She isn’t just any regular photographer there to take pictures - it’s a whole experience that you walk away from feeling empowered and totally awesome! From the moment we met it was nothing but positive energy and good vibes it truly felt like we had know each other forever. I for one am so critical of pictures of myself and how I look but Jen made me feel so beautiful and captured all my best angles that I am absolutely blown away that I loved every single picture in the gallery (this never ever happens for me). Her editing is natural and emphasizes highlighting natural beauty and I love her modern but also timeless style. The turn around time was amazing we got the pictures back in just a couple days and I know she worked extra hard knowing I wanted to share the news on social media and wanted me to be able to have the best pictures possible to post! I could really write a novel about how amazing the whole experience was and I will forever treasure this moment and these pictures thanks to Jen and Leslie :) I highly recommend hiring Jelau photography."

"If you’re considering JeLau Photography for a photoshoot of any kind, look no further, Jenn is best. Jenn was so incredibly helpful with helping me put together a surprise proposal with photos to capture the moment. And the ensuing engagement photoshoot was amazing. Speaking from a guy’s perspective, popping the big question is surprisingly nerve wracking. You may not think you’ll be, but I promise, you will be…we want it to be perfect for her. Jenn helped me put the pieces together and pick the right location and time of day to pull off that perfect moment. And top of that, Jenn made us feel so comfortable while taking photos. My fiancee and I had a blast, we felt like we could just be ourselves. The best part of it all is we came away from the experience with photos that made us like something out of GQ…what more could you ask for…"

"I booked a proposal session with Jenn. She was lightning in her responses throughout the process, hopped on a zoom call with me to plan out the proposal, and even gave me a video walkthrough of where I needed to be day of (which was super helpful given I live on the other side of the country). The proposal went perfect and Jenn captured that in her photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
