Influencer Blasted For Appearing To Have A Full Photoshoot At Friends Wedding Tacky

TikTok star Jenna Palek has come under fire for her ‘tacky’ act at a friend’s wedding.

Palek, who has been dating Bachelorette alum Connor Saeli since 2021, shared a series of snaps to Instagram earlier this week that showed her and her beau posing in various locations at the luxurious-looking wedding.

In the pictures, Austin-based Palek donned a one-shouldered red satin dress as she stood lovingly with her boyfriend, who donned a simple suit.

The couple was snapped walking through the hall of a lavish building, dancing and walking down a grand staircase.

‘I love love,’ she captioned the carousel of images.

While many fans loved the intimate pictures, some slammed the couple for having what appeared to be a full photoshoot during another couple’s special day.

‘Maybe I’m just a hater (I am) but is it not weird to have a whole photoshoot with multiple locations at your friend’s wedding?’ one user snarked in a post shared to Reddit.

‘Like those shots were giving engagement shoot not “hey can you take a cute pic of us,”‘ they argued.

Many users agreed, sharing their thoughts in the comment section of the Reddit post.

‘I think what’s weird is the different locations and so many posed/“candid” pics lol.. take a standing pic and post one and move it along why the whole carousel of him,’ wrote another user.

‘For real like who did she beg to take all of these,’ someone else snarked.

‘Who has this much time during wedding festivities? I mean one or two pics maybe (but you should) be too busy mingling with other guests,’ a different person mused. ‘I’m just as confused as you. This turned out to be a photoshoot.’

‘How about posting some pictures of the bride and groom?! What is this staged tacky photoshoot,’ read a fourth comment.

‘Girl go be with your friend!’ another appalled user wrote. ‘Stop spending precious moments trying to prove to the internet that your boyfriend likes you!’

‘She’s so cringe she could’ve easily posted a collage with the bride, the venue (or) shot artsy, random detail of something idk,’ agreed someone else.

‘The one fake candid in the stairs is cute, make it look natural, not this full on photoshoot.’

Saeli was a contestant on season 15 of The Bachelorette in 2019. He returned for a season of Bachelor in Paradise but left the show midway through.

In a comment on TikTok recently,  Palek revealed she and her boyfriend of four years have yet to spend a Christmas together.

Replying to a fan online, Palek wrote: ‘We never spend Christmas together and we won’t until we are married, but he’s coming here the day after to be here for the wedding.’

In a post pinned to her Instagram page, she said she is ‘always inspired’ by her boyfriend.

‘My boyfriend is incredibly humble, ambitious, thoughtful, silly, creative, loving and my bestest friend,’ she wrote.

‘But I like to keep our relationship to myself! We don’t share much of our personal lives as I keep my socials focused on me.’
