Oregon Coast Wedding at Ecola State Park

WEDDING

Aug 31

Erica and Tyler escaped to the Oregon coast for their beachside wedding. Like many couples, they were craving the intimacy and privacy of an elopement, but equally valued their family and desired their attendance. Therefore, they created the perfect compromise.

For their first-look, Erica and Tyler met at Ecola State Park, where they shared vows and private words together before their ceremony began. It was amazing that they were able to forget about the stress of the day and just be together for 30 minutes before the hustle & bustle started back up agin. I personally love pre-ceremony vows and think they’re just the most amazing addition for the couple that wants to incorporate intimacy and uniqueness to their day.

Their ceremony took place on a grassy bluff overlooking the gorgeous Oregon Coast and it was beyond beautiful. The Oregon Coast is one of my favorite places for elopements (and weddings in general) because it’s so expansive and typically very empty. The coastline goes for miles and, besides small clusters of sunbathers, there is usually very little people around. PERFECT for intimacy.

The reception was rad, as well, and props to Erica’s family for setting everything up themselves (DIY is no small feat). Y’all killed it.

enjoy!
