A Magical Cannon Beach Wedding

laurenhurt — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 05:11:07 +0000

K, so I may have gone a little overboard with the pictures in this post, but there were just so many things about this Cannon Beach wedding that I LOVED. Kate and Clint are from Saskatchewan Canada and managed (long distance) to perfectly plan this destination wedding down to the last gorgeous detail. They chose Cannon Beach for their wedding because Kate’s grew up vacationing there every year as a girl. I just loved her color pallet – creams, peach, lavender, sage – which lent itself perfectly for soft, romantic, and whimsical pictures to remember the evening. It was so magical! The ceremony and reception were both in Arch Cape, about 10 miles south of Cannon Beach, with a brief break between to do portraits in front of the famous Haystack Rock. The Arch Cape reception venue, Cove Beach Lodge (contact Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals for info), took the cake for me though. The large 1/2 covered white tent over looking a huge secluded cove made for the perfect setting for their intimate destination wedding. It was a beautiful time watching the sun set over the pacific ocean, feeling like we were the only ones in the world, and then dancing the night away under the glowing skies and the lights of the white tents. Today these two are having their larger reception at home in Saskatoon, and I wish them many many more celebrations of love!

Look where I got to hang out yesterday… And with this beautiful couple…

I love photographing destination weddings in Cannon Beach, there are so many amazing places tucked away for gorgeous photos. I just had to share this beautiful Arch Cape reception house with you all, it was like a dream and I can’t wait to shoot out there again someday!

More to come from this gorgeous Cannon Beach Oregon wedding!

Cannon Beach and Wedding Bliss

So I’m proud to say, this amazing ceremony was my first ever “on the sand” beach wedding! I loved it! Brian and Kayla are from Eastern Washington (farm country) and really wanted a beach wedding. I couldn’t have been happier when they contacted me and we met in Portland to talk about the details. Their day was perfect, they couldn’t have planned the weather out better themselves, and the cannon beach backdrop they chose made everything picturesque. Everyone had so much fun running around barefoot and goofing off during the portrait time… It made me wish I could work barefoot for every wedding. Maybe I’ll just have to try to shoot more beach weddings… Maui anybody?

I Heart Oregon Weddings

I mean REALLY, I really heart them. Especially the last two… I just got back this weekend from another marathon trip up to the great green state, and shot these two beautiful weddings. Josh and Julia started off the week at one of my favorite spots, Beazell Memorial Forest in Kings Valley Oregon. Kayla and Brian finished it up with a positively gorgeous Cannon Beach Oregon celebration. In between was lots of traveling and driving… it made the trip go by very fast and before I knew it, I’m back in the swing of things down here in LA again.

I just wanted to give you guys a little taste of what’s to come AND give a major shout out to all of my amazing clients. I can’t explain how blessed I’ve been this year by the incredible brides, seniors, and families I get to work with. As more and more inquiries for next summer’s weddings come in, I find myself looking back at all my beautiful brides and being so thankful! I’m starting to think that the term “Bridezilla” is a sham (knock on wood) because all of these women have been total Queens to work with. Thank you all for giving me the immense honor of being a part of your day! I love you all!

Such a perfect day at the coast last friday, and a very fun couple/wedding party to hang out with for the day. My favorite part was the beautifully restored 44 Ford Woodie, finished just in time for the wedding. It couldn’t match the beauty of the bride, but it was pretty darn cool! Other best part of the day- I got to assist and shoot with Lavenda Nettles, a very fun photographer from Portland. It was so great to spend some time with her! Here are some snipets of the Cannon Beach wedding…

I loved Katie’s bouquet so much, it just full of big beautiful peonies and smaller accent rinoculous, two of my favorite flowers
