These two already had a pretty iconic proposal story. M popped the question at Glacier National Park (goals), but B knew she wanted to have M to have that moment too. So we cooked up a little plan for a beach proposal. They booked an “engagement session” on the Oregon Coast… but secretly, it was B’s turn to drop to one knee.
We met up at Secret Beach—one of those places that feels made for magical moments—and everything just fell into place. The sun was warm, the breeze was soft, and B’s surprise proposal unfolded in the dreamiest little cliffside nook. Let me tell you, watching someone get proposed to when they think they’re just showing up for photos is a top-tier serotonin boost.
Golden Hour & Barefoot Beach Adventures
After the big “yes”, we headed down to the sand to run around like kids. From champagne pops to barefoot kisses, every part of this evening radiated the kind of love that’s equal parts giddy and grounded. The light was ridiculous in the best way, with a sunset that looked like it was painted just for them. The Oregon Coast sure knows how to put on a show.
Blue Hour Portraits After a Secret Beach Proposal
Just when we thought the vibes had peaked, we ventured to one of my favorite hidden overlooks. Lanterns, cool salty air, and that deep blue sky wrapped everything in calm. These two shared a few more moments and soaked in their just-engaged energy before heading out into the night with full hearts.
