Coast Wedding Photography & Videography
Where dramatic coastlines and golden sunsets frame your love story on photo and film
From Cannon Beach to Washington’s rugged shores, the Pacific Northwest coast sets an enchanting stage for your wedding day. Towering sea stacks, windswept dunes, and lush forests all come together to celebrate alongside you. As photographers and filmmakers, we’re passionate about turning these coastal dreams into heirloom images and films you’ll treasure forever.
Stunning Pacific Northwest Backdrops
The Oregon and Washington coastlines offer a breathtaking blend of raw natural beauty and romantic ambiance for your “I do.” Picture dramatic cliffs, soft sandy beaches, and vibrant sunsets painting the sky as you exchange vows. A few of our favorite coastal gems include:
Cannon Beach, OR – Say your vows with the iconic Haystack Rock as your backdrop, and enjoy broad sandy shores perfect for a barefoot sunset ceremony. Astoria, OR – A historic port town at the Columbia River’s mouth that combines vintage charm with sweeping ocean vistas, offering unique photo ops amid 19th-century architecture and on the waterfront piers.
Manzanita, OR – A tranquil seven-mile beach nestled between Neahkahnie Mountain and the Pacific Ocean, providing an intimate setting with gentle dunes and a quaint beach town vibe (and fewer crowds!). Florence, OR – Rugged sea cliffs and the majestic Heceta Head Lighthouse perched 250 feet above crashing waves create a dramatic, fairy-tale backdrop for your ceremony.
Whether you prefer a quiet coastal village or a dramatic landmark venue, every spot along the Pacific Northwest coast offers its own magic. And just north of the Oregon border, Washington’s wild coastline boasts equally stunning backdrops – from driftwood-strewn beaches to forested bluffs overlooking the Pacific – perfect for an adventurous yet elegant celebration.

Meanwhile, our photographs freeze those emotions in time: the stolen glances, the embrace against a sunset sky, the details of driftwood and wildflowers. By offering both photo and video, we preserve your love story in its fullest form – every breathtaking landscape and every genuine emotion, captured beautifully for you to cherish forever.
