Oregon Coast Elopement Packages: Real Elopement Inspiration + Sample Timelines
If you're dreaming of salty air, sweeping cliffs, waterfalls, and an intimate celebration by the sea—an Oregon Coast elopement might just be your perfect fit. And the best part? You can craft a day that’s truly you—whether that’s a barefoot beach ceremony, a sunset champagne toast by Haystack Rock, or a farm-to-table dinner with your favorite people.
Real Oregon Coast Elopement: Brooke & Lorenzo
Brooke and Lorenzo’s elopement at Short Sands Beach in Oswald West State Park was straight out of a coastal daydream. With a waterfall at the north end, a creek flowing through the south, and a whole lot of love in between, they said their vows surrounded by just their parents and two close friends (one who even officiated!).
These two first caught sparks dancing around the campfire at a family gathering—and while they weren’t even dating yet, everyone knew. Fast forward to a quiet April afternoon in 2024, and they were finally tying the knot in the most relaxed and romantic way.
Post-ceremony, we made our way to Anna’s Table for a cozy farm-to-table dinner. During the toast, Brooke raised her milk-filled flute (her fave drink!) while baby was brewing in the oven, while the rest of us cheered with champagne.
To wrap things up, we headed to Cannon Beach for golden-hour portraits in front of the iconic Haystack Rock. These are the must-have shots if you're eloping on the coast—jaw-dropping views, soft golden light, and the ocean mist creating that signature dreamy vibe.
Make a Pit Stop at Pelican Brewing
While you’re in Cannon Beach, I highly recommend a midday break or post-portrait celebration at Pelican Brewing Company. Grab a local brew and some lunch, soak in the ocean views, and let your elopement day flow naturally.
