Say Hello!

Hello! I’m Jenn—

I’ve been photographing couples in love since 2015, and started my own elopement business in 2019—Wild Coast Photography is the antidote to all those wedding traditions that don’t feel authentic!

I’m based in Bellingham, Washington. I specialize in smaller celebrations, outdoors, which usually incorporate some kind of adventure through nature. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me backpacking, skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking with my dogs. Couples who want to incorporate outdoor activities into their elopement are my kind of people!

If the idea of an adventure elopement or wedding is intimidating to you, but your heart yearns for this kind of epic way to get hitched, I’ve got your back! There are plenty of ways to find accessible, entry-level, or guided activities that get you outdoors without requiring an athletic background. I strongly believe nature is for everyone!

 What you get with your photography package:

❶ Planning & Consultation:

Phone calls, video chats, or email chains—I’m accessible to answer your questions, guide you through the process of discovering your perfect wedding plans. I can even make suggestions based upon my experience, so you really have no limit to what is possible when it comes to your wedding! I’m skilled at matching your budget and still exceeding expectations for what an adventure wedding can be.

❷ Timeline Creation:

The details of how your day happens are an essential part of the planning process. I’ll help you build a timeline that has hour-by-hour plans laid out so that when your day comes, you have nothing to worry about!

❸ Vendor Recommendations:

I can connect you with any other vendors you might need or want for your event—florists, designers, second-hand shops for wedding attire, officiants, videographers, private chefs, caterers, invitation designer, or helicopter pilot—I have a network of vendors all over the world!

❹ Location Discovery:

I’ve been traveling extensively for a very long time—I’ve been to dozens of countries, driven many thousands of miles, and hiked hundreds of gorgeous trails. I’ve found some of the best off-the-beaten path spots to get married and you have access to that breadth of knowledge as you finalize your plans.

❺ The Legal Stuff:

I am legally ordained so that I can sign your marriage license in most US states and keep your intimate just-us elopement event more personal. I’m not an officiant in the traditional sense—I won’t be leading your ceremony through any script—but, I can sign the paperwork to make this legit! If you don’t want my signature, I can assist you in finding the information for any legal marriage processes elsewhere.

❻ Exclusive Planning Resources:

My clients get packing lists, planning guides, and materials developed from more than a decade of experience photographing couples. You don’t need to stumble through any of this! I’ve done the work so you can enjoy a stress-free wedding day!
