Kyra and Isaac just oozed love for each other at their intimate, coastal wedding in Newport, Oregon. Family and friends gathered to construct a gorgeous day for the couple, kicking off festivities with a heartfelt vow exchange.
Kyra met Isaac through Isaac’s sister, and she knew he was “the one” when she spotted a partner who valued family as much as she does. I myself struggled to keep tears back as there wasn’t a dry eye during the couple’s ceremony.
We were all blessed with flawless weather – a rarity at the coast – with gorgeous clear skies and minimal wind. These two couldn’t have picked a better place and day to bring all of their favorite people together.
Oregon Coast weddings
The Oregon coastline, with its rugged cliffs, expansive beaches, and breathtaking views, offers a serene backdrop for those seeking a more personal and secluded experience. For a look at some of my favorite locations for photos, pop over to this blog post.
Understanding Permit Needs
If you’re planning an Oregon coast wedding, you’ll want to be mindful of the permits required. Popular venues like Cape Kiwanda, Ecola State Park, and the Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor often require permits when guest counts exceed 50 or if you’re setting up decor like arches or seating. These permits help protect the natural beauty of the area and avoid overlapping events. I’m happy to assist with navigating these permits as we hone in on your ideal location.
Scenic Backdrops for Your Day
The Oregon coast provides an array of stunning landscapes, from windswept beaches and dramatic rocky outcrops to lush forests and expansive sand dunes. No matter what kind of scenery you envision, we can put together the perfect list to match your vibe.
What to Pack for Your Coastal Adventure
Weather on the Oregon coast can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is key. It’s smart to bring a windproof jacket and waterproof shoes . For comfort during your post-ceremony photos, a cozy blanket or shawl adds a nice touch. Be prepared with umbrellas just in case, and a thermos of something warm—like tea or coffee—can help keep the chill at bay.
