An Epic Evening on the Oregon Coast: Reece and Catryce’s Sunset Elopement

after a slow afternoon, hanging out at their airbnb, writing their vows and soaking in the last moments before they officially became married, reece and catryce finished getting ready and headed out the door to cape kiwanda to say “i do!” hiking up the sandy dunes we arrived at an absolutely epic overlook ready for an adventure.

as we explored the sand dunes the sun slowly started to soften and we had some amazing golden hour light.

overlooking the ocean, reece and catryce shared their heartfelt handwritten vows to love, honor and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. as the sun dipped behind the cliffs they promised to always be there for one another, whatever may come.

after the final few rays of sun disappeared beyond the horizon, we quickly hiked back down the dunes to get a few photos with some lanterns- the perfect end to a perfect day.
