Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jenny Jolley. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Jenny thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you’re open to it, can you talk to us about the best (or worst) investment you’ve made. What’s the backstory and the relevant context behind why you made the investment
I believe the best investment is education in your craft! For me, photographing weddings has been something I am constantly studying so I can improve at each wedding I photograph. Utilize your free resources on the internet, your peers (respectfully), and paid, good quality courses/trainings as well. You can have all the money you need, all the gear you need, but if you don’t know how to run your business and be successful in your craft, it doesn’t matter what you have.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I’m Jenny Jolley! I live in Eudora, KS and serve the Kansas City/Lawrence area as a wedding photographer. I also photograph couples, seniors, families, events, branding, and more. My goal is to be your wedding photographer bestie and make your wedding day as smooth as possible with the professional service, friendly face you and your family/friends can rely on, and assistance with planning before the big day. Every single one of my couples are so incredibly special and I create personalized, genuine, timeless photos for them to treasure the rest of their lives. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and believe Black Lives Matter. All of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session, timeline planning, optional venue visits, 30+ photos per hour, and lifetime access to the online gallery. If you’re interested in inquiring, let me buy you a cup of coffee and let’s chat about your wedding!
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I truly love my job and it shows. I attend to all the details and am more than just a person that shows up to take photos on a wedding day! My couples often times say I make them feel comfortable, capture their true selves, and am an incredible resource for wedding planning. Basically – I GOT YOU! Newlyweds can relive their day over and over again inside my gallery, looking over their important moments, the in between moments, and even moments they didn’t know happened (like Aunt Linda getting jiggy on the dance floor!)
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I use Facebook and Instagram often. Now that they’re both linked, I can share instantly to both profiles at the same time! I love posting Instagram Reels (when it’s not super busy in wedding world!) and sharing highlight videos of my wedding galleries. My goal is to post every day and interact with people I follow. It’s fun to share the love, hype other wedding vendors up, and gain some momentum in the process!
