Hug Point Oregon Elopement at Sunset
Here’s another backlogged blog for you. Kaila and Erika held a small wedding ceremony on the beach. We had one of the most amazing sunsets for about 10 minutes as you’ll see. The light was absolutely insane. Enjoy!
As an elopement photographer on the Oregon Coast, I’ve had the privilege of capturing couples in some of the most breathtaking locations—but Hug Point is truly something special. Just a few miles south of Cannon Beach, this hidden gem offers a stunning mix of rugged cliffs, soft sandy shores, and a picturesque waterfall that trickles down onto the beach at low tide. The best part? The moody coastal mist and ever-changing tides create an atmosphere that feels like something out of a dream. Whether you’re exchanging vows against the backdrop of the sea-carved caves or sharing your first kiss with the ocean breeze swirling around you, Hug Point offers an intimate, adventurous setting that’s perfect for couples looking to break away from tradition.
Beyond the magic of Hug Point, the surrounding coastline is filled with incredible spots for photos and exploration. Just to the north, Ecola State Park boasts jaw-dropping panoramic views, lush forested trails, and dramatic cliffs that make for an epic elopement backdrop. If you’re craving even more adventure, Short Sands Beach—nestled within Oswald West State Park—is a dreamy cove surrounded by towering evergreens, perfect for a private post-ceremony picnic or sunset portraits with the waves crashing at your feet. Each of these locations offers a unique slice of Oregon’s wild beauty, making them ideal additions to your elopement experience.
If you’re dreaming of an intimate, breathtaking elopement that blends romance with adventure, Hug Point is the place to say “I do.” From the striking rock formations to the tranquil beauty of the Pacific Ocean, it’s a location that feels untouched and timeless. And with so many stunning nearby spots to explore, your elopement can turn into a full-fledged Oregon Coast adventure. If you’re ready to plan your dream day, let’s chat—I’d love to help capture the magic of your love story in this incredible place.
