Sunset Surprise Proposal at Cannon Beach in June

There’s something wildly magical about Cannon Beach in June—the golden light, the sea breeze, and Haystack Rock standing tall against the horizon. I had the honor of photographing a live proposal here at sunset, and it was one of those evenings that just felt like a dream.

We planned it so everything felt spontaneous but seamless. As the couple walked along the shoreline, the tide was low, the light was golden, and everything lined up perfectly. He dropped to one knee just as the sun kissed the ocean, and her reaction? Pure joy. It was intimate, emotional, and completely them.

This is why I love capturing live proposals. It’s about real moments—raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable. We wrapped up with a mini engagement session right after, with toes in the sand and wind in their hair. The Oregon coast gave us the most incredible backdrop.

If you’re dreaming of a Cannon Beach proposal, June is absolutely perfect. I’ll help you scout the best spots, plan the timing around the tides and sunset, and discreetly document every second. You focus on the moment—you only get to live it once.
