Couple eloping on oregon coast

Sami + Kylie | Styled Elopement at the Bowline Hotel in Astoria, Oregon

Sami and Kylie’s styled elopement in Astoria, Oregon

If you love the epic beauty of the PNW, vibrant color, and seeing cuties in LOVE – you have found the perfect corner of the internet. My beautiful friend and co-planner of this shoot, Hope, and I chose the Bowline Hotel as our backdrop for this color-filled elopement styled session.

*Quick note – Bowline Hotel is not only gorgeous and filled with good vibes – it’s also one of the many hotels run by Adrift Hospitality. Here’s why we love Adrift : they run certified B Corp hotels and place sustainability and community at the top of their list of values. Please check out their website and look through their list of values and priorities – it’s incredibly inspiring and I love to support businesses like theirs.

Elopement Session Details

Okay, back to the session. Sami and Kylie are not only a S T U N N I N G couple – they are so fun and kind. During our first meeting they were incredibly open and vulnerable with me about their lives together and I have to say – having that connection before I photograph is truly a gift. It makes such a difference to have that relationship prior to our session. It helps me creatively tell your story and capture your personalities through my photos.

When Hope (Wrong Number Floral) and I first started planning this styled shoot, we knew one thing right off the bat – it needed to be vibrant and playful. We both gravitate towards bold and playful colors so this was a given. It is so fun to create and design for yourself. When you are pulling inspiration from areas of your own life, it makes the process seamless. We started playing around with colors and patterns and just had fun with it. Also, I have to add, Hope is an absolute genius when it comes to unexpected color combinations. Needless to say, if you’re looking for fun and whimsy with your wedding flowers – she’s your person.
