Cannon Beach was the backdrop to this simple elopement and will always be remembered as the beginning of John and Rachael's journey together. There's something about the way John looks at his bride that gives me tingles. He's proud of her, desires her, protective of her...try to capture all of that in a photo. Gee. Here's my small attempt in 30 minutes to capture the love of a lifetime.

I love shooting at Cannon Beach, or any beach really, because the wind brings a ton of energy to the photo and hooks you in. Give me a flowey dress and some wind and I am one happy photographer. It's hard not to take a beautiful photograph when the wind, weather and wardrobe are all working in my favor. Course, John and Rachael weren't bad looking either ;)
