Last summer, I spent a few days in Oregon traveling along the coast and capturing incredibly styled shoots and the sweetest couples! After a day spent at Cape Kiwanda, we headed North to Ecola State Park.
This was my first time at Ecola State Park, and I instantly fell in love. The endless coastline views and the rocky shore were captivating, especially since it’s right against a forest covered in pine trees. The mix of dark greenery, soft sand, and ocean blues created a beautiful backdrop filled with color and texture.
We started at a Cabin for this shoot and took portraits along the park edge. Nestled in the woods, with miles of coastal views, our cabin was the perfect spot for the couple to get ready. Natyr wore one of the most incredible gowns I’ve ever photographed! Inspired by the Moroccan sunlight, the Media gown by Rue De Seine was a perfect choice. The embroidered lace had a soft shimmer, while the flared sleeves and fringe created a cape-like bodice. Fried flowers were added to her curls for a bohemian vibe. Her partner, Chris, wore a casual suit with an open collar and hand-tied boutonniere.

This town is built on the Nehalem river and is surrounded by forests that offer sweeping views of the Pacific coast. It’s located about 30 minutes from Ecola State Park, where we shot an elopement overlooking the ocean at sunset. […]
