ABOUT JENNY

Hey, it’s your wedding photographer!

HEY THERE! (: I kind of wish I could have a super cool assistant named Gia to greet you at the door or at least have a candy jar (full of the good chocolate, of course) but hey, this will do, right? Thank you so much for checking out my website! You want to know more about me, which I think is really awesome!

Nice to meet you! I’m Jenny Jolley – your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer! I’m an LGBTQ+ and BIPOC advocate. I proudly call Lawrence and Kansas City my home! 

I live in the charming town of Eudora, Kansas with my husband, two cats, and dog. You can learn more about them further down this page! I married my prince charming on June 7, 2019 and feel like I’m living in a fairytale with Chance Jolley! It no doubt fuels my passion for photographing weddings!

I’ve been photographing weddings for over 5 years now and it doesn’t feel like “work,” even a little bit! I love everything about being your wedding photographer: engagement sessions, timeline planning, wedding day of course, full gallery delivery, and everything in between! I love it all so much, bringing ease to your wedding day and delivering your first heirlooms as a married couple gives me so much joy. It’s truly an honor to document wedding days and create photos that will last so many lifetimes!

DID YOU KNOW?

I’m so cool, I have a cat named after me!
I love all the connections I make at weddings and an amazing mother of
a groom named one of her barn kitties after me!
Seriously, I still can’t believe I’ve reached this level of cool. (:

MY MUSE

Meet my soulmate, Chance! We met in middle school (sometime in 2007) and started dating in 2012. We got married June 2019! I truly feel like I’m living in a fairytale with this guy in our charming Eudora home with our dog and two cats.

MY office mate

This is Junior! We adopted him in August 2020 and he’s named after his dad who looks identical!  When I’m at my office desk, he likes to find a spot on the desk to rub up against my arms for attention. He’s our hunter and has made me stand on a chair once or twice with critters he’s tried to provide us with, ha!

My cuddle buddy

Meet our sweet little girl, Chaplin! Chaplin is Junior’s sister from another litter and we adopted her in September 2021! We named her Chaplin because of her iconic mustache. (: She has the loudest purr and we’re convinced she has magical powers. She manages to put us to sleep with her loud purr and cuddles on our lap.

MY walking pal

This is Felix! We adopted him from Lucky 13 Rescue in June 2023. We love to go to dog parks together so he can run around and I can catch up on podcasts! According to a DNA test he’s mostly Australian Cattle Dog (our own dingo), as well as Doberman, German Shepard, Pit Bull (Mr. Worldwide), and Alaskan Malamute!
