Some proposal locations really don’t need much help, and Haystack Rock is one of them. For this marriage proposal on the beach, the plan was pretty simple: a good dinner, a suspiciously well-timed sunset walk, and one very important question waiting at the end. Add in a perfect summer evening at Cannon Beach, with an […]

There are a lot of ways to spend your wedding day, but exchanging vows on the Oregon Coast with your baby giggling nearby, and your dog tagging along? That’s pretty hard to beat. Cannon Beach wedding photography is always about more than the scenery for me, and M and S’s day was proof that the […]

The first time you watch the fog drift past Haystack Rock from the cliffs above, it’s hard to believe you’re still in the same place you’ll end the evening barefoot, laughing through a champagne pop on the beach. That’s what makes an Ecola State Park elopement so special. Within just a few miles, you can […]

There are few better cover stories for surprise proposal photos than dinner followed by a sunset walk on the Oregon Coast. It’s normal and romantic without being suspiciously romantic. And, most importantly, it doesn’t require convincing your partner that you suddenly really need them to wear a cute outfit for an oddly specific hike at […]

There are few places where you can exchange vows with your toes in the sand, spend the next hour wandering through an old-growth forest, and finish the day watching waves crash as the sun sets. That’s the magic of getting married on the Oregon Coast. One minute you’re standing beneath towering sea stacks, the next […]

It’s a little poetic spending an evening creating lake engagement photos for two people whose careers have taken them all over the country. A+H are traveling doctors, which means home has looked a little different over the years. Between new assignments, new cities, and the demands that come with caring for others, they’ve built a […]

Some proposals feel flashy. But this one felt personal in all the right ways. A planned an entire weekend for S near the Sandy River and Mt. Hood, and every part of it reflected their relationship so naturally and an incredible amount of intention went into it behind the scenes. The surprise proposal itself took […]

J and M’s Cannon Beach wedding started in the dreamiest way possible—standing on the shoreline at sunrise with the people they love most. These two traveled all the way from the East Coast for an intimate wedding experience, and Cannon Beach delivered. If you’ve ever been to the Oregon Coast, you know the weather can […]

If you’ve been Googling how to elope in Alaska, chances are you’re looking for something bigger. And Alaska delivers on that in a way very few places on earth can. We’re talking about massive glaciers, jagged mountain ranges, quiet fjords, and wide-open tundra, giving little people big-world energy. Beyond the views (which, yes, are ridiculous), […]

If you’ve ever tried to plan Cannon Beach maternity photos in early spring, you know it can be a bit of a gamble due to moody skies, wind, and chilly temps. So when H+E’s session landed on one of those calm, golden April evenings, it felt like the coast was doing us a solid. We […]
