Oregon Engagement Photographer
Elope on the Oregon Coast
Your engagement photos should feel like you—not stiff poses or a photoshoot you have to perform for. I photograph engagement sessions throughout Oregon with a candid, documentary-inspired approach focused on real connection, movement, and all the little in-between moments.
From windswept evenings on the Oregon Coast to mountain views, high-desert landscapes, forests, waterfalls, and quiet lakes, Oregon has some incredible places to celebrate this season of your life.
Exchange vows with the Pacific behind you. Wander barefoot along the beach. Bring a picnic and champagne. Explore the forest. Get your clothes a little sandy. Stay until the sun disappears over the ocean.
I'll photograph the big moments and all the beautifully imperfect ones happening in between.
Candid, romantic elopement photography on the Oregon Coast
Wild coastline, towering sea stacks, windswept beaches, and the person you love most—Cannon Beach is one of the most beautiful places to elope on the Oregon Coast.
ELOPING ON THE OREGON COAST
There is something about getting married beside the ocean that makes everything else feel a little less important.
The Oregon Coast gives you hundreds of miles of rugged beaches, sea stacks, cliffs, forests, waterfalls, and tiny coastal towns to choose from.
Your elopement could be an entire adventure.
Wake up together in a little cabin overlooking the ocean.
I'm not interested in turning your wedding into an eight-hour photoshoot.
Yes, we'll create beautiful portraits.
But I also want you to forget about the camera.
I'll give you direction when you need it and step back when you don't.
Run through the water.
YOUR OREGON COAST ELOPEMENT SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOU
Get ready slowly.
Exchange private vows beneath the trees.
Explore the coastline.
Stop somewhere for fish and chips.
Set up an intimate picnic on the beach with flowers, cake, and champagne.
Then watch the sun disappear into the Pacific together.
An Oregon Coast elopement gives you permission to make your wedding day about the experience instead of the schedule.
Climb onto the rocks.
Drink champagne straight from the bottle.
Cry through your vows.
Let the wind completely destroy your hair.
Stop somewhere unexpected because the view is too good to keep driving.
Those imperfect, unscripted moments are often the photographs you'll love the most.
BEST PLACES TO ELOPE ON THE OREGON COAST
Ecola State ParkEcola combines two of my favorite Oregon landscapes: dense coastal forest and sweeping views of the Pacific.
It's a beautiful choice for couples who want their elopement photographs to feel unmistakably Pacific Northwest.
Cannon Beach & Haystack RockThe enormous sea stack creates an incredible backdrop for portraits and intimate celebrations, especially when the evening light begins to soften.
Samuel H. Boardman Scenic CorridorSouthern Oregon's coastline feels wild and dramatic, with sea stacks, natural bridges, forests, and incredible overlooks.
Cape Kiwanda & Pacific CityMassive coastal formations and sweeping ocean views give the Pacific City area a completely different look from the northern coast.

Lana was absolutely amazing for our elopement at Lake of the Woods! She arrived early, stayed late, took time to connect with us, and managed our parents’ quirks with ease. Her photos speak for themselves... stunning, and we feel so lucky she shared her talent with us on the best day!
