When we were discussing locations for their engagement shoot, Margi told me that we could go “anywhere in Oregon.” That’s a pretty rad thing to tell a photographer, and immediately I thought of Manzanita, a little town on the northern Coast. I hadn’t been back out there since shooting a wedding there in 2010. We began our shoot at Oswald West State Park, now hands-down one of my favorite places “anywhere in Oregon.” We ran around the beach, the little caves, and all over the big log fields. Margi and Vince have an infectious energy with each other. Vince was more reserved throughout, until Margi suggested that we have a paint fight on the beach…









Favorite shot of the day!













Can’t wait for their wedding next year in Southern Oregon…another area of the State that’s new to me!
