Elope in Cannon Beach
Trade the expected for the extraordinary. Cannon Beach is made for couples who want their day to feel like a true adventure — Haystack Rock rising from the mist, waves crashing on wide empty sand, and moody coastal light that turns cinematic in a heartbeat. I will be there to document it all honestly: the wind in your hair, the laughter between your vows, and the quiet moments no one else sees.
Why Cannon Beach
Haystack Rock — Say your vows beneath Oregon's most iconic sea stack, a 235-foot monolith rising from the surf. Rugged, raw, and impossibly romantic.
Moody light — The Oregon coast's famously shifting skies move from brooding fog to golden light in minutes, creating cinematic portraits you could never stage. A landscape that feels like another planet.
Tide pools — Starfish, anemones, and hidden worlds revealed at low tide around the Rock's base.
Ecola State Park — Old-growth headlands and sweeping viewpoints above hidden coves, made for portraits with real drama.
When to Go — May through October brings the mildest weather and longest days, with the calmest seas in late summer. Winter elopements are for the truly bold: dramatic storms, empty beaches, and towering waves.
