OREGON COAST ELOPEMENT | Emily Hary Photography

Calling all lovers seeking a remote Oregon Coast elopement experience. This one’s for you. As the crisp windy air and misty rains began to appear for the change in seasons, these two chose to brave the elements anyway. They relied on me to help them pick a location during the planning phase. I found out that they wanted to go to a real hidden gem I had scouted. By “real”, I mean that I couldn’t find any evidence (then) that anyone else had been married there. Or taken “wedding” photos there. A true original for elopements, and a win for everyone.

OREGON COAST HIKING ELOPEMENT

J+A wanted a “just us” experience on the Oregon Coast, so it was just us three. Before we set off for the day, we met up at their cute little cabin up in the woods. Black Fern Beauty polished the bride up beautifully with onsite professional hair and makeup. J+A ate a hardy breakfast, hung out, and packed up their hiking bags after final touches. We hiked in to our location with not a soul around. A likely outcome after helping my couple strategize for an intimate experience, considering many factors in the planning phase. After arriving, they finished getting dressed and ready together outside. Waiting to get an elopement dress and/or suit on until closer to your photo locations is ideal for hiking first, especially in non-ideal trail conditions.

REJECT COOKIE CUTTER ELOPEMENTS

It’s no secret that I love the Oregon Coast for elopements. Many couples end up choosing locations that they didn’t even know existed prior to meeting me. If you want to find a unique location, in a world of cookie cutter weddings, I have the knowledge + expertise to guide you. Inquire today about your elopement plans. I’m excited to meet you, hear your ideas, and turn them into reality!
