A Cape Kiwanda Wedding | Tahnee + Samuel

A Cape Kiwanda Wedding. For years I have been madly in love with one specific spot on the Oregon Coast, Cape Kiwanda. Not to say there’s isn’t a a ton of magic all along the coast, but if you’re skipping out on Pacific City in favor of Canon Beach, you’re really missing out.

Tahnee & Samuel found my blog of Grayce & Tanner’s Styled elopement and planned their whole important day around something I put together years ago, which is pretty incredible. Once in a blue I get to feel a little more involved in the day and planning than a typical weekend. I think Tahnee and I shared more phone calls than any other client I’ve had to help build a day around that felt intimate but grand. This even included me drawing out a seating plan on a napkin in the morning.


A Bolinas Wedding | Sabrina + Tyler

A Bolinas Wedding. When Sabrina told me about her day, the highlights included a small wedding with 100 guests in a sleep beach town, her fiance was a photographer, their tagline for the day would be “best mothf***ing day ever", they’d be giving out mini joints at the end of the evening and most importantly, there’d be a dog. Their whole goal was a classy day then collided with their inherently weird selves. This meant skipping the worn out trend of kimono robes for bikini tee shirts & opting for shotgunning beers in the morning rather than relaxed glasses of whiskey. To cut to the chase, Sabrina & Tyler are badass New Yorkers who know exactly how cool they are and they didn’t hesitate to let that be their theme of their whole day.

Ruby Beach Portraits | Grayce + Tanner

Ruby Beach Portraits. A few weeks back I Co-Hosted Over Yonder Washington on the coast along with Cody Harris, Stephen Ramsden, Twyla Jones, Grace Hurtienne, Michael Cardwell & Nicole Seligman of Junebug Weddings. Over Yonder is a hideaway for likeminded creatives seeking an intimate experience with other artists to awaken their connection to their work, their clients and their passions. We spent 4 days in a cabin with 19 other people from all over the globe sharing our insights, experiences, victories and defeats. But most importantly a piece of ourselves. Our final day on the coast had sudden downpours but it didn't stop anyone from running around, getting soaked and making moment and memories together.

A Cape Kiwanda Elopement | Grayce + Tanner

A Cape Kiwanda Elopement. If you've been to the Oregon coast, there's little doubt you haven't been to Cape Kiwanda a few times, running up the sand and rolling down the dunes, jumping the fence to see the former "PNW Rock," and hopefully seeing some pups run along the shore....
