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

“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!”

“Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!”

I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old.

At Event by Dawn, I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. I’m here to guide you through the planning process, making it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

“Dawn was so incredibly wonderful for our 10-23-2025 wedding at Waterfall Lodge! We booked her a year and a half in advance and from the moment we booked with her, she was available and responsive. She worked with our schedules and took some of the wedding planning stress off of us. She even helped with recommendations on ways to save some money and utilize all vendors to our full potential. That’s just the planning part of it. Let’s get to the wedding day. From the very start of the rehearsal to the very end of the wedding day, Dawn was incredible. We had a crazy amount of extra people show up to the rehearsal itself who were not needed, but she guided everyone on where they needed to be despite all the extra commotion of extra family members wanting to be involved. The night before the wedding I went through all of my decorations and things that I had spent a lot of time crafting and creating with her and I just kind of spouted everything out all at once. Was I a little worried that she was just committing it all to memory and that my vision might not come to life? Yep. Should I have been worried? Not at all. She executed the vision I had with every little detail included to a tee. Seriously, she kept everything going smoothly. It all looked better than I had pictured it and I was in awe of her ability to keep things running so smoothly with so many different vendors. If there were things that went wrong, I have no idea because she not once gave me an inkling of any stress or anything. We even had a guest comment on how seamlessly she worked into the event. My favorite part of the day with Dawn comes to when we finally made it into dinner. We had ordered Chilis chips and salsa for cocktail hour as that’s where we met. At one point, Dawn came over with one whole bowl of chips and salsa (and sour cream because that’s my favorite) and plopped it onto our sweethearts table. It’s just all the small details that she took care of. It was one of my favorite parts of the day because it was so us. She was absolutely crucial in the best day of our lives and I cannot recommend her more. Thanks again for everything Dawn!”

“From the moment I found Danieka Erasmus of Picturist Photography, I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding. I was searching for photographers in the Monterey Bay area and came across her Instagram, and I immediately fell in love with the way she captured not only the beauty of the nature around her, but real, genuine moments between people. Her photos had this way of capturing the subtle, in-between moments, and that was exactly what I wanted for our wedding. From our first conversations, Danieka was incredibly sweet and so easy to talk to. We were planning a very small wedding, and the whole process could definitely be overwhelming at times. She helped give us a sense of what to expect photography-wise throughout the day and provided guidance when we needed it, which made everything feel so much easier. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. She captured things I wouldn't have even thought to ask for. Even our guests commented on how meticulous she was about capturing all the little details and really documenting the entire essence of the day. My husband and I also aren't people who naturally feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Danieka made it feel so easy. We never felt overly posed or awkward. She would give us just enough direction and then let us be together naturally, whether that was walking, talking, laughing, or just taking everything in. Some of my favorite photos are those moments where we were simply focused on each other and almost forgot the camera was there. One of the things I appreciate most is how many beautiful candid photos she captured of our guests. My husband and I were so wrapped up in each other that there was so much happening around us that we didn't get to see. Looking through our photos afterward and seeing our friends and family smiling, laughing, and genuinely having such a great time was incredibly special. Danieka gave us a chance to see our wedding from a perspective we never would have had otherwise. When we finally received our gallery and sat down to look through it together, it genuinely felt like reliving our wedding day from beginning to end. We got to experience the big moments again, but we also got to discover all these little moments we had missed. I could not be happier with our photos. Danieka didn't just photograph what our wedding looked like. She captured what it felt like. I am so incredibly grateful that we found her and that these are the photographs we'll have to remember that day for the rest of our lives.”

From the moment we started working with Paige A for partial planning for our wedding, we were given all the tools and support we needed to plan and execute the most amazing wedding weekend. Paige A does an amazing job managing vendors (multiple of them came up to us after the wedding to tell us how much they liked working with her, and how great of a communicator she was) and ensuring that you can really relax and enjoy your wedding rather than worrying about logistical details. Our wedding had the additional challenge of being in an area with no cell reception (Big Sur) and Paige A did an amazing job managing logistics in this challenging environment, including arranging shuttles to transport 100 people for multiple events. It’s clear to see that Paige A is great at her job and that she also enjoys the process. If you’re looking for someone to help execute your wedding vision, look no further!”

She was responsive and genuinely listened to what we wanted, then went above and beyond by helping us finalize our timeline and creating a family shot list template that made photos run like clockwork. Camille and her entire team brought professionalism and warmth to our day, making us feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. The photos are stunning—every detail captured perfectly. We couldn't have asked for better service or results. Highly recommend Camille Mattish Photography to any couple planning their wedding.”

“From our first message, the team at The Hollins House proved they were on top of everything. Giselle and the staff responded quickly to every question and stayed incredibly organized throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is breathtaking—the courtyard, ceremony area, vintage bar, and ballroom are all stunning in person and photos really don't capture how beautiful it is. We honestly didn't need to hire a day-of coordinator because the staff handled every detail with such professionalism. They went above and beyond to make our day special, and we can't recommend them enough. The Hollins House is truly the perfect place to get married.”

“Carlos took both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only did he perfectly capture the moments we had discussed, he also has such a great eye for encapsulating the quite, loud, and sweet candid moments too. Not to mention, he has been so responsive and had such a fast turnaround time! We would highly recommend working with Carlos! And in case my review isn't enough to help you make your decision, here are some actual quotes from our wedding party when we shares the online album: "They took sooo many too like this is the most comprehensive wedding album I’ve ever seen” and “I can’t believe how good this is” and “This looks like it’s straight out of a movie scene ””

An avid listener of audiobooks, podcasts, Taylor Swift, my 'Theatre Mix' playlist on Spotify, and early 2000's pop and, occasionally, 2010's emo. A repeat watcher of Bridgerton, New Girl, The Good Place, The Righteous Gemstones, VEEP, & Ted Lasso.

“Claire played such a big role in our perfect wedding day. We planned a simple DIY wedding with minimal decor. She was so helpful from our first consultation call. There were things we didn't know to consider or how to find, and she was so willing to offer recommendations and suggestions. Closer to the wedding, she managed our vendor communications and big day timeline. She is honest, organized, innovative, and so thorough. One of the letters on our Mr & Mrs sign broke and she glued a cute tiny bow over the letter with eyelash glue! We appreciated Claire so much. On top of managing our timeline, wedding party, family, hired staff, last minute changes, and very drunk people, she truly prioritized what we (the bride and groom) valued. Also, she protected our peace during the whole day and kept us safe throughout the night. We could not have done our wedding without Claire and truly recommend her to everyone!”

I never saw wedding photography in my future. I was supposed to be working in LA on big movie sets! But life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you never asked for and making it even better than you could ever dream of. So here I am—a super chill and really fun wedding photographer waiting to have the best platonic three-way you could ask for!

“Kassandra Months later, I am still stunned by Kassandra's artistry and professionalism. I was looking for a photographer who would capture the beauty of the day and make it special without it feeling posed or contrived, classy and simple, but emotional. She is a true master of light, composition, and people. Without a long list of required poses, she caught the moments and images I didn't know would be among my most cherished. On her professionalism, I cannot say enough. During the consultation phase, she was generous with her time and responsive. She kept in contact in the time leading up. Took initiative to coordinate with our coordinator and venue. My beach wedding was on a day the beach was PACKED. I'd expected lots of extras in the background. Nope. Thanks to her flawless editing, it looked as intimate as it felt. Despite this, she timely delivered the sneak peek and the photos (I didn't expect for A WHILE given the amount of work she put in). An aside on her as a person, she is a joyful light of a human that added to the love fest that was my wedding day.”
