An unforgettable day! Gorgeous teal and gold accents perfectly complimented this beach setting. An emotional father/daughter first look followed by an ecstatic first look with her groom. A best friend who is beside herself and cries at the beauty of the bride as she helps with her final touches. A lace gown to die for, a smile that will melt your heart. Sandy toes, twirls in a soft pink sunset, and a love that you know will last forever. This Cannon Beach wedding was literally a dream!

How we met

I’ve known Hannah for a few years and we met through our church. Not only is she beautiful, but she has such a fun, outgoing, and bubbly personality. You just can’t help but smile when you’re around her, also because her smile is contagious! She loves people so well that you can’t help but love her back. You can really tell that Jesus shines right through her. So it’s no surprise that she found someone who loves her completely. Hannah and Drew are such a perfect fit. You can really see their love simply by how they look at each other, joke around, and make each other laugh!

The Big Day

Their wedding day was simply bliss. It took place at Cannon Beach, with an indoor ceremony and reception as it was scheduled to rain. Though the sun ended up peeking out from the clouds to shine on them. I also had the honor of capturing a first for me. The bride and groom were married by another friend of ours from our church, Craig. Immediately following the ceremony the bride and groom followed Craig outside to a quiet area where they could take communion for the first time as husband and wife while Craig prayed blessings over them and their marriage. It was such a sweet and beautiful moment.

Sunset on the Beach!

We then snuck out during their reception to drive over and play on the beach for a bit and soak in a gorgeous sunset. Light pink and soft orange lit up the sky as we walked and danced barefoot on the cold sand. It was as if it put on a show to celebrate their love with them. We even saw several giant elk wandering through town on our drive back over to the venue and beach bunnies running around everywhere! This town is one of my absolute favorite places in my beautiful state. I was thrilled to be able to capture the beauty of the beach and the love that these two have for each other.
