Crook Point Oregon Coast Destination Wedding

This day is was just my favorite kind. Full of sunshine and dogs and happy wedding people! I love being local here in Southern Oregon. I am out on the beach here in the Samuel Boardman region and in the Redwoods at least several times a week in high season.

The wedding was in Spring and all of Crook Point was so green and lovely. Sam and Emily came up from California with friends and family to wed here on the Southern Oregon coastline. Crook Point is beautiful and where the forest meets the sea. Some days it is soft mists and reminds me of the shores of Ireland from my past travels. Some days it is warm sun and golden cliffs of Summer. My favorite parts about their day were the sweet children who were all included, doggies and these FLORALS! Made by the grooms mother who is crazy talented.

Photos always tell the story of a day better than I ever can so here are some favorites from our time together celebrating…

Redwood Forest and Oregon Coast Elopement

This day was filled with sunshine and love. Steve and Sahny spoke their vows to one another in one of my favorite private groves in the NorCal Redwoods. From there we grove hopped a bit for incredible Summer light as the last of it filtered through the majestic canopy.

The end of the evening was spent just above the California border on the rocky Oregon coastline. A little bit of a hike over a waterfall, then the shoes came off on the beach. Some champagne, a walk in the sand and then a dance to their song.

Special thanks to my friend Branches and Vine Floral for the incredible bouquet and crown. I am always happy to transport florals in for your elopements from my local vendors I work with. I am so excited to announce that their image was chose for online publication for our win for top photographer in Oregon outside PDX for Oregon Bride Magazine this past year!

Here is a peek at our time together…

I encourage as always please leave no trace in our forests or on our beaches. If anything comes in with you please clean it up and pack it out.

Trinidad California Lost Whale Inn Elopement at Patrick's Point

I took a drive on a rainy day a hop skip and a jump from me down highway 101. Lost Whale Inn located in Trinidad, California was the perfect setting for this gorgeous elopement. We opted for portraits at Patrick’s Point after and the light we were gifted this particular West Coast evening on the beach was pure magic.

These two and their pups and parents were such a joy to work with. Lost Whale Inn perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean has beautiful views, grounds and gardens and wonderful ambiance.
