CAPE KIWANDA ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

Almost four years ago when I decided to move my wedding photo business to Bend, I posted a giveaway for a complementary engagement session and got an overwhelming amount of entries from couples in Oregon.  After over five years of being a wedding and engagement photographer in the Midwest, these engagement photos I shot on the Oregon coast were a sign that I made the right decision moving my wedding photo business to Oregon.  I think Oregon has everything a photographer could dream of, so being a wedding photographer here definitely feels special.  I love photographing natural, wide-open spaces, and Cape Kiwanda is somewhere I’ve wanted to get back to ever since my first engagement session there. 

I met Abi and Hayden at Cape Kiwanda for a golden hour engagement session on the coast, where we roamed through the towering sand dunes that make up this stunning photo spot.  I have too many favorites to share! 

We made our way to a ridge they would always hike up to and watch the sunset from while they were dating, and these photos from their “spot” up being my favorite from their engagement session.

This is one of my favorite locations I’ve taken engagement photos at in Oregon, and I think these photos below speak for themselves so I won’t explain why.  The images feel so authentic to Abi and Hayden, which is why I always love looking back through their gallery for inspiration.  The only thing I regret is not bringing my film camera!  

We ended the session at the beach and I snapped some photos as we walked back to our cars.  The light here fit really well with my style.
