Oregon Coast Elopement


Thinking about ditching the big wedding for something more intimate and adventurous? An Oregon Coast elopement might be just what you’re looking for. With its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and misty coastal vibes, the Oregon Coast is straight-up magical. Whether you’re dreaming of saying your vows at Cannon Beach, exploring the iconic cliffs at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, or hiking to a hidden cove, there’s no shortage of epic spots to tie the knot.


As an Oregon Coast adventure photographer, I’m here to help you find the perfect location and capture every incredible moment. This coastline has something for everyone—romantic beach strolls, wild wind-blown cliffs, and sunsets that will take your breath away.


Best Oregon Coast Elopement Locations

  • Cannon Beach: Famous for its massive Haystack Rock and wide, sandy beach. Perfect for those classic coastal photos.
  • Cape Kiwanda, Pacific City: Rugged cliffs, dramatic sand dunes, and insane views of the Pacific Ocean.
  • Ecola State Park: Forest meets coastline. Great for couples who want both lush greenery and ocean views.
  • Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor: Remote, wild, and full of dramatic cliffs and hidden beaches. If you want something truly epic, this is the spot.


Tips for Your Oregon Coast Elopement

  • Weather can be wild: Be ready for wind, fog, and maybe a sprinkle of rain (but that moody vibe is part of the magic).
  • Time it right: Sunset is everything on the coast—the soft light makes for stunning photos.
  • Layer up: Flowy dresses look amazing in the wind, but don’t forget a cozy jacket or shawl.
