Oregon Coast Inspiration Shoot

I’m so excited to share this shoot today — it’s one I worked on awhile back with a great team at one of my favorite places: Pacific City, Ore. I imagined a simple beach celebration with s’mores and laid-back style. Here’s what we came up with!

I love working with fun vendors, and this group was so amazing. First, I brought on local florist Annie Chen from Floral Sunshine, who did the fabulous centerpiece and bouquet, plus this cute little chair-back heart piece (above left). Above right, gorgeous “seagulls” letterpress invitations from Hello, Lucky!

This lovely model is Courtney Jade — she’s a local photographer, too, and was our bride for the day. I love her hair and makeup, which was done by the genius DeAnn at Face Body Beauty.

The gals at Hello, Lucky! also created table numbers and placecards that match the invitations. Love those guys!

Courtney’s headband and dress are from Nordstrom, and we found a lot of the little details at IKEA (those blue glass bottles, plus the little anemone-looking pink ceramic dealie on the table and the lantern). Love budget shopping!

Courtney’s earrings and dainty gold necklace are from Elephantine. They are gorgeous and I love how soft and simple they both are.
