Meet Your Photographer—Jenn

Yes! All my travel fees, hotel bookings & flights are included in the package pricing. The price you see is the price you pay, unless you’re requesting a custom quote.

I recently moved back to Bellingham, Washington after spending nearly three years in the southwest desert. Before that I lived full-time in a van traveling all over the US.

This depends on the type of photo package you choose & what your day ends up looking like. I'll curate your gallery to be a representation of your BEST images from the day—typically couples receive between 50-80 photos per hour documented.

I use a style of editing that I've developed from over a decade of photo-editing & photography experience. Your images will be consistent with the others you see on my page—colorful, a realistic portrayal of the environment & an accurate documentation of the "vibe" of your wedding. No two weddings will look exactly alike—lighting & the environment will change how things look, but ultimately what you see here is what you can expect.

I typically plan my travel schedule a year in advance. That said, I’ve been hired for adventure sessions & elopements with notice as short as 3 weeks, or as far as 14 months. I plan space into the schedule for last-minute bookings, so please reach out if you’re interested in hiring me for your adventure!

For practical reasons, I recommend keeping the guest count under 15 people. This rule applies well to general group restrictions already in place for wilderness areas. Less wild locations can handle more people.

Essentially, an 'elopement' is an alternative wedding celebration all about the couple getting married—involving fewer people, prioritizing their desires over other people's expectations & planning a day that aligns with their values.

A full day of coverage simply means that you'll receive a gallery that tells the full story! I'll document moments from the beginning to the end, but I won't physically be pushing the shutter all day—I'll also be hiking with you, exploring, fixing your hair or adjusting your attire. We'll be laughing, talking & hanging out—and when the moments are right, I'll take photos. But this is NOT an all-day photoshoot!

The term "guide" gets thrown around a lot in the photography industry. I will guide you toward best practices when you ask for our help, but I am not a certified guide. Outdoor industry professionals who are actual guides have gone through extensive training to earn that title—something I take very seriously.

Part of the booking process will be to decide if sunrise, sunset, or midday makes the most sense for your plans. Do you want the sun on the eastern mountains? Do you hate harsh light? Do you want to avoid rain at all costs? We will discuss all of these things. Taking photos outside comes with surprises. It is my job to know the landscape & give you a good idea of what will happen, and we can work together to prepare for everything else.

I can help you choose a location and build a day-of timeline. My extensive travels & map-reading skills can be utilized to help you find a truly unique place to share your vows. I can also recommend caterers, event planners, florists & other industry professionals to help you tackle all the little details.

Sustainability in the wedding industry is overlooked for a lot of reasons. First, we have been conditioned socially to believe celebrations are meant to be BIG frivolous affairs where we make "exceptions" for the sake of the party. By reducing waste, encouraging environmental stewardship at your venue, and setting an example for future sustainable weddings—you are ensuring that YOU directly protect the lands we love so much.

Nope! That is the simple answer. My personal experience playing in the outdoors directly correlates to my strengths taking photos of people outside in intimate settings. Those skills may not as obviously relate to weddings with 150+ people in attendance, but I promise they do.
