Welcome to the blog of Jen Slot Photography!

Hi there... I'm Jen. 

As I am sure you can tell by now I have an amazing passion for photography. But there is so much more to me than that...

I am a mom to two ridiculously fun + energetic + smart kids. They keep me on my toes and are a constant inspiration to me. I am a wife to the most loving, supportive and I would also like to mention the hottest UPS driver ever! He has been the person from day one to keep me motivated and moving forward. He has always wholeheartedly believed in everything I am trying to do. I have an AMAZING family. I truly feel blessed. 

So who am I really? Well, I am a 27 yr old wedding photographer living in Santa Maria, CA. I am fun. Creative. Very laid back. I am a true romantic. I will probably cry at your wedding. I love,  love, love to snowboard it is my therapy. I think knee high socks rock. I need chocolate every night. When I was younger I used to love scary movies... and now I can't watch them. I love BBQs. Old barns. Uggs. Bouncing with my daughter on her trampoline. WRXs. flickr. Birthday weekend with the girls. Any wedding reality show + top chef. Weddings! Meeting awesome in love couples who are ready to jump in front of my lens for some fun.  

I am a wedding + portrait photographer who loves people. I can't wait to meet you + share your day + capture your love. 

Jen. 


Marisa + Pelt | Fall in love…. workshop.

About a week ago my hubby and I attending an amazingly inspirational workshop held by the one and only Cameron + Anna Ingalls aptly titled – Fall in love… workshop. I have an amazing passion for photography but I left that day having fallen back in love with everything all over again. It really got me back to my basics of what makes me happy. Beautiful images make me happy. I don’t want rules or boundaries. I just want to create what I love and what makes me smile. 

To wrap up the day we ended at Holland Ranch a venue that I am quickly becoming familiar with to photograph Marisa + Pelt an awesome couple who is getting married at the Ranch later this year. These two were very brave to come out in front of a pack of wild wedding photographers but they definitely held their own. They have such an amazing chemistry together it was so easy to photograph them. 

Marisa + Pelt, you two were amazing. I hope you love these as much as I do and best wishes a million times over. I can’t wait to see your wedding up on Cameron’s blog later this year…
