Wedding & Elopement Photography
Documenting The Adventure of a Lifetime
Welcome to the Wild Coast, where weddings are fun, beautiful, and as adventurous as you are!
Based in Bellingham, WA
Documenting love stories all over the world!
Let’s turn your wedding day into your favorite real-life fairytale!
Whatever that looks like. I don’t think one kind of wedding is better than another, I simply believe YOU should do whatever YOU want.

A just-us hiking elopement in your favorite national park
The big party of your dreams at the venue you fell in love with
Book Your Dream Wedding Photographer
Your photo gallery should be a reminder of the joy you experienced, not just a collection of pretty pictures!
Years from now when you’re looking back at your wedding photos, I want to you to notice how beautiful you are, how confident you felt, and how authentically you celebrated.
Your relationship is unique. When it comes to your wedding, you shouldn’t use the same formula everyone else is following!
You deserve your dream wedding: A celebration crafted with intention, which aligns with your beliefs. This is an opportunity to form your own traditions!
From now on, prioritize your values over other’s expectations.
“My partner and I really hate getting our picture taken. Jenn made it so comfortable and she was so open to our ideas. She just loves photography and it comes through in her professionalism and her pictures. You will not regret this choice!” — Courtney & Alex
Have You Heard of An Adventure Elopement?
It’s the perfect solution for couples tired of the stress of planning a traditional wedding that doesn’t feel like them.
Elopements are simply defined as an alternative way to get married. Instead of a worrying about seating charts, you’re booking a just-for-us stay somewhere you're excited to visit. It’s a way to privately share your vows without the anxiety of standing before a crowd of hundreds. It’s an opportunity to ask yourself, “what does a perfect day look like for us?” and “how can we celebrate our relationship authentically?”
Your elopement is your unique antidote to stressful, inauthentic, traditional weddings. The truth is—your elopement is defined by you.
I’m not going to tell you you need to adventure any particular way. I’m here to offer options, turn your wildest ideas into possibilities within reach, and connect you with the tools to make it happen.

“Jenn is absolutely amazing! The photos she took were stunning and exactly what we were looking for. She worked very hard to make our vision a reality. The photos made us smile and laugh together. It was like we got to relive our wedding all over again!” — Gabs & Sara
Meet Your Photographer
Hey, I’m Jenn, the founder of Wild Coast & (hopefully) your wedding photographer!
If you’re searching to connect with a photographer who is experienced, professional, and capable of navigating you through the process of crafting a stress-free wedding or elopement experience, you’ve come to the right place! From the moment you inquire to the day you receive your gallery, my goal is not just beautiful images but a fun experience! For elopements, I am often one of the only vendors involved, which means I do everything from finding off-the-beaten-path locations to building the day-of timeline. For bigger weddings, I am happy to collaborate with your planner or coordinator to ensure you get the best images within a timeline that works for you & your guests.
What you can expect from that first email, until the day you receive your gallery & beyond!
Send an inquiry
As soon as you inquire we begin the planning process! I recommend getting on a Zoom call within a few days to walk you through the booking process & thoroughly explain next steps. Send me a message & it’ll get back to you within 48 hours—it’s never too early to book your photographer!
Once you’re officially booked
Once the contract is signed & retainer paid, I’m officially booked for your date—now the fun begins! You’ll immediately gain access to my client-exclusive planning guide—an 80+ page digitized copy of all the tips & tricks I’ve learned over the years. Gain insight into planning your ceremony, how to find sustainable fashion & more!
The big day
Whether I’m documenting your wedding, elopement, anniversary or something else—this is 100% your day! Rather than feeling like a vendor hanging out on the edges of the party, I’m going to be in it—capturing the real & raw of your story by celebrating alongside you, getting to know your guests, and truly immersing myself in what makes your love so special.
Preview images
Within 48 hours of your celebration you’ll recieve an email with 10+ edited images so you can immediately share the story of your beautiful day. These are a small handful of images from the day so you can announce your big life moment & share your experience with loved ones who may not have been present.
Full gallery delivery
You’ll receive your full gallery of edited images within 8 weeks of your event. The delivery system I use gives you access to the full-resolution files, which you can download at your leisure for printing or sharing. You’ll have access to this online gallery for no less than one year after the date of your event.
Print your photos
Within your online gallery you have your own unique online store—from there you can order prints, photo books, albums, and other souvenirs of your incredible wedding experience! If you would prefer to print images at your own local print shop, I fully support that. The online store I’ve linked to your unique gallery makes it easy to order physical products for yourself or family, and I’ve personally vetted the products to ensure the highest quality.
