I had such an amazing time spending the afternoon with Hayley and Chad at their destination engagement shoot at Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park. Ecola State Park was the perfect spot to catch a gorgeous sweeping seascape with perfect views of Haystack Rock. This rock was made millions of years ago and now stands tall as a majestic Oregon Coast icon. Being able to photograph this sweet couple’s engagement session on Cannon Beach was very special since this happens to be the very location where Chad proposed to Haley. I loved how playful and fun they were as we watched the sunset and played in the Pacific Ocean surf. Passersby’s thought our shoot was an wedding because of Hayley’s white dress and Chad’s suit. (Easy mistake!) Although this time around it was not a wedding I would definitely come back to photograph a Cannon Beach elopement or any Oregon Coast wedding any day for that matter! This place has captured my heart and I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to capture the connection between Hayley and Chad.
Alix and Ben are a magical and artistic couple who traveled here from Louisiana to have a destination wedding on the coast!

Both Alix and Ben have daughters. Ella, Rowan and Zoe are new sisters!
Love this image of Alix walking towards her beach ceremony.
The breathtaking vows on the Oregon coast. Manzanita, Oregon is one of my favorite places with Neahkahnie Mountain in the backdrop.
All the guests placed sand in a ceramic vase during the sand ceremony.
Alix and Ben are inspiring and beautiful. Both working artists and parents, their love and energy are poetic.
Alix looked stunning! Loved her dress from 
Sand painting each other and their new family. One of my new favorite images of 2010.

A beautiful father-daughter dance in the living room of the gorgeous private home of Ben’s aunt Nancy, where the reception took place.
