Getting married on the Oregon Coast is full of spectacular scenery and a perfect place for your ceremony. With breathtaking beauty on a large variety of beaches, each town offering it’s own quaint feel. Whether it’s an elopement with you and your partner or a large event. There are several great options for venues such as Surfsand Resort, Pelican Brewery, McMenamins, Nehalem Bay Winery or a local community center. If you are looking for a smaller more intimate ceremony on the beach some great places would be Cannon Beach, Arch Cape, Hug Point, Manzanita beach, Oceanside or Rockaway. With home rentals right on the sand that could make for a great option as well. Oswald West state park is an incredible location with a waterfall right into the ocean. Starting with a short hike through an old growth forest then onto a gorgeous cove beach.
As a local to the north Oregon Coast I can help with location suggestions and tide monitoring. A place such as Hug Point works best on a low tide for easy access to the waterfall. Other beaches are not as tide sensitive. I’ll also provide guidance on the best lighting for your photography. From my experience early morning, late afternoon or sunset sessions work best for photographs. Although anytime of day looks amazing on the beach!
With all of my photography I make it my goal to capture organic and storytelling photographs. Catching emotion to those casually posed and fun pictures. From landscape images that highlight the beauty of the coast to more intimate photos and all the moments in between. We can start with preparation photos or right on the beach for a ceremony. If you happen to need someone to make it official I am an ordained minister as well.
