Cannon Beach: A Magical Oregon Coast Engagement
Cannon Beach in Oregon is a beautiful and magical getaway. I have been photographing weddings on California beaches for so long but this Oregon Coast engagement still blew me away! Camille and Dan were just gorgeous. I loved being their Cannon Beach Engagement Photographer, and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding.
They are an energetic couple, very smiley, silly, and sweet. Dan is eager to capture life and embrace it. He wanted to film the whole engagement session like he never wanted it to end. Camille is adorable! She is really silly and fun. The two of them live nearby in Southern Washington, and I was incredibly thankful to get to work with them.
A Photo Session at Cannon Beach: A Magical Location With A Rich History
I have been dreaming of shooting at Cannon Beach for so long. The beach has such a magical vibe and I feel like it’s one of the more iconic spots on the Oregon coast. There are so many features that make this place sing. Haystack rock, is an obvious and prominent feature of the beach, and you can’t help but put it in your photos, but I also love how the shallow water lets you stand really close to the surface, which gives the illusion of standing on water. That gives you an out-of-this-world perspective that is hard to come by.
So when Camille and Dan told me that they wanted to have their engagement session there, I jumped at the idea. They wanted to meet a little further away from Haystack Rock to make sure that we could capture the whole beach, which allowed us to use both sides of the beach. It became incredibly magical as the sun was setting and I’m so excited to share their photos with you here.

Sun & Sparrow: Oregon Coast Wedding Photographer
I have been photographing beautiful couples and families all over the west coast for so long that its rare that a place really blows me away. That being said, Cannon beach was everything I dreamed it could be. Before the shoot, I walked the beach with my family, and the variety of beautiful views blew me away. Obviously the giant formations on the coast were a huge highlight, but the nearby delta and foliage surrounding the beach were something to behold. I am so glad that I got to take these photos!
We really made a day of being out at the Oregon coast. It is a really family friendly environment and we had a lot of fun touring the town and getting ice cream at Suzy’s Scoops. I always love a sweet treat, and so does my son, so it was really special to spend some time together after the session. I cannot recomend the Oregon coast enough!
I would love to take your photos on the Oregon coast. The Pacific Northwest is one of the dreamiest places on the planet and sharing people’s love here is a dream come true.
