K + M woke up in their little cabin Airbnb, surrounded by a forest of tall trees. They enjoyed a slow morning getting ready for their day together and sipping coffee and eating breakfast before the days adventures started.
Our first stop was a beautiful lush trail in a grove of giant redwoods. The light poured through the forest as they wandered through the grove, hand in hand. We took photos along the way until we came to a spot among some of the massive trees where K + M shared their vows. They spent time exploring the forest together and we captured some beautiful photos.
From there, they drove up the coastline to a restaurant for and shared a meal and celebratory drinks, the restaurant surprised the newlyweds with a beautiful dessert to celebrate!
The adventure wasn’t over, a few more minutes drive brought us to a beautiful beach on the Oregon coast. These two hiked down the trail together, until the trail opened up to an incredible view of the ocean. They stood together for a few minutes overlooking the ocean, just an hour before sunset, drinking it all in.
what Your day on the Coast could be...
Another short scramble down the rocks and we were on the beach, running and dancing in the golden light, popping champagne and cutting their cake. Their picnic even had a guest appearance of a friendly harbor seal that was bathing in the small waterfall that runs into the beach. K + M watched the last bit of light creep below the horizon, and sat on the beach together as the stars started coming out one by one.
The Milky Way sparkle over the ocean and these two lovers to end a beautiful day eloping on the Oregon Coast.
"Mary is one of the kindest, most down to earth photographers we’ve worked with."
We’ve had the absolute pleasure of shooting with marykphotos not once, but twice, and both experiences were nothing short of amazing. Mary is one of the kindest, most down to earth photographers we’ve worked with. She made the entire photo process feel fun, easy, and so full of joy.
One of our favorite touches? At the end of both shoots, she gifted us printed polaroids that now live on our fridge and in our photo diaries!!! Such a sweet little reminder of special moments captured so beautifully. Can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone who brings heart, creativity, and genuine care to every session!
- Gabby
"She spent so much time with me figuring out what I wanted for my wedding."
Mary is absolutely amazing! She spent so much time with me figuring out what I wanted for my wedding. I knew weeks in advance what the plan was. She made me feel so beautiful and our photos are stunning! - Taylor
"Mary did an amazing job of photographing my fiancé and me after our engagement and on our wedding day. from start to finish."
Our session with her were a blast, which was good since my husband had never had photos taken before. She captured the joy of both events, along with keeping it relaxing. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any event I need photographed in the future, and I recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful photos without the stress of photo shoots. She was delightful to work with.
"raw, authentic photos."
My husband and I spent the better part of a day with Mary running around in The Gorge. She was super sweet and directed us incredibly well while still leaving room for us to do our thing to create some raw, authentic photos.
"Mary is so wonderful to work with."
You ask her for something and she makes it happen. She's captured every stage of my life. Senior pictures, Graduation ceremony, engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity, and as my family grows more and more family shoots. All the photos are perfect! That's all that's up on my walls! She even let's us include our 4 legged family members. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed in the quality of photos she provides with such great services!

Oregon weather is notoriously unpredictable. We get a lot of rain here, which we love, it makes everything green and lush, but what if it rains on your elopement day? I got you. I always have some back up plans in my back pocket. But honestly, I will encourage you to embrace the weather as much as possible, we can still get gorgeous photos even if the weather isn't on our side. Some of my fave photos were taken in less than ideal weather! But have no fear, I've got you covered!
Short answer YES!
I want you to be able to present with your partner, and really enjoying the day as much as possible. I will give you prompts and make sure you're comfortable and not worried about "what do I do with my hands?!" I'll be there to guide you through the day with your partner, in a way that feels natural and authentic.
