Oregon Coast Elopement | Hug Point

July 10, 2023

Natalie and Nell’s intimate elopement on the stunning Oregon Coast at Hug Point was a celebration of love, nature, and the beauty of simplicity. With only a handful of loved ones in attendance, their special day was a cherished affair filled with breathtaking scenery, heartfelt moments, and the promise of forever.

The ceremony took place in a secluded forest clearing, surrounded by towering trees and the gentle rustle of leaves. A natural wooden arch adorned with delicate wildflowers served as the altar, blending harmoniously with the organic beauty of the surroundings. Soft sunlight filtered through the canopy above, casting a warm and ethereal glow upon the scene.

As Natalie & Nell walked down the leaf-strewn aisle, their eyes filled with admiration and love. The intimate gathering of close friends watched in awe as the couple exchanged vows, their voices carrying on the gentle forest breeze. With heartfelt words, they promised to support and uplift each other on their shared journey, sealing their commitment with a tender kiss.

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their loved ones made their way to the breathtaking Hug Point on the Oregon Coast. The ocean stretched out before them, its rhythmic waves crashing against the rugged cliffs. The salty sea breeze and the sound of seagulls added a touch of serenity to the atmosphere, enhancing the beauty of the moment.

Natalie and Nell stood on a cliffside overlook, with panoramic views of the vast ocean as their backdrop. As the sun began its descent, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows of love and gratitude. With tears of joy and a sense of awe, they pledged their love to one another, grateful for the immense beauty that surrounded them.

The elopement continued with a romantic walk along the beach, hand in hand, as the sun shone over the horizon. The soft sand welcomed their bare feet, and the rhythm of the crashing waves provided a soothing melody. In the distance, a cascading waterfall added a touch of enchantment, its waters merging with the vastness of the ocean.

After their ceremony and photos together on the beach they planned for an intimate dinner with their wedding guests in Cannon Beach. A short drive along the stunning highway 101 coast line. A beautiful day.

As they stood together, hand in hand, on the shores of Hug Point, they knew that their love would forever be intertwined with the memories of this enchanting celebration.
