The coast is a widely suggested spot by Oregon elopement photographers.

It’s a place where adventurous couples can retreat to create an intentional and intimate wedding day.

The day of this AM shoot, my boyfriend and I woke up super dang early. (Trust me, I am NOT a morning person.)

First stop: Dutch Bros coffee. After that, we started on our cruise down the winding roads out that lead from Portland to the Oregon Coast, where we met Liya + Preston.

We chose Cannon Beach for photos, which is home to Ecola Point. Our first stop.

From the viewpoint, you can see Haystack rock from afar, making it the perfect location for Oregon couples photos!

Similarly, Cannon Beach is home to Indian Beach. It’s just over a 5 minute drive from the point and is the place where we ended our session.

Liya and I actually met when we became roomies during my 2 year stint as an Oregonian.

If you’ve followed my story for a while, you already know that I love this state! It’s a photographer’s dream!

Oregon elopement photographer’s and other photogs from all over the world come to capture lovers in front of this massive (and wildly picturesque) rock.

If you’re not so into the coastal vibe, don’t give up on your Oregon elopement yet!
