Kim & Jake’s Romantic Oregon Coast Engagement Session | Short Sands Beach

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is the chance to travel to some of the most beautiful places in Oregon—and this Oregon Coast engagement session with Kim and Jake was truly one for the books. These two were up for anything, which made the whole day such a joy!

We kicked things off with a quick stop at Sea Level Coffee (a must if you’re ever in the area!) before heading out on the trail to Short Sands Beach. The ¾-mile walk through the foggy forest is always worth it—the moment the trees open up to reveal the moody coastline takes my breath away every single time.

The coast was draped in soft gray skies and a light drizzle, which couldn’t have been more perfect. I love shooting on overcast days because the soft light and misty atmosphere capture the true essence of the Oregon Coast. Rain, fog, and moody skies are what make this place so iconic, and they always add so much depth and emotion to an engagement photo session.

Kim and Jake embraced every moment, running barefoot across the empty beach, laughing, and simply enjoying each other. Their energy was contagious, and it didn’t take much to capture the connection and love they share. Every frame of their Oregon engagement photos radiates warmth and joy despite the chilly drizzle.

I’m so grateful I got to document their adventure at Short Sands Beach. Shoots like this are a reminder of why I love being an Oregon engagement photographer—beautiful landscapes, unforgettable experiences, and the chance to tell love stories in the most authentic way possible.

Kim and Jake, thank you for trusting me to capture these dreamy memories!
