Your New York City Elopement Photographer

‘Trash the Dress’ at Cannon Beach, Oregon | Haystack Rock | The Goonies

Trash the Dress

I have been looking forward to writing this post for a looong time! And now that I have my very own blog I can finally show you guys one of the most amazing sessions I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. Last summer we visited my wife’s family in Portland, Oregon and I always wanted to do a shoot at Cannon Beach. Cannon Beach is right on the Oregon coast and you might recognize Haystack Rock in some of the images from one of my favorite movies of all time…THE GOONIES! I put out a casting call and it took only minutes until Michele was on board. Michele just got married weeks before our session so she had no problem getting out her wedding dress and off we went. We had so much fun! It was amazing. The weather was perfect and Michele was such a good sport. Isn’t she gorgeous?

The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay | An East River Esplanade Wedding The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes it takes you to new and exciting places. Just like it did for Louise and Jay, who traveled from Scotland to New York City to elope. As a New York wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing their special day and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience....
