Brad and Rebecca – Beach Elopement at Cape Lookout State Park – Tillamook, Oregon

Brad and Rebecca’s wedding will always have a special place in my heart because it is the first wedding in which I was both the photographer and one of the witnesses. Their incredibly intimate ceremony happened at Cape Lookout State Park Beach in Tillamook, Oregon, and the only people present were the couple, myself, the officiant, and one other witness. They got married on the banks of a small river that fed into the ocean, and after that the three of us spent about an hour wandering the beach taking pictures and watching as the sun began to set over the ocean. These two had traveled across the country to elope and spend some time exploring oregon – and they were really a joy to work with. They were headed into Portland the next day, and so I gave them a few of my favorite spots to check out in the city, and was so happy to hear from Brad a few days later that they’d had a great time and even made it to one of my favorite restaurants. I hope to cross paths with them again in the future!
