Katie and Sam’s Beach Engagement Session!
Katie and Sam’s Lincoln City engagement session was such a special and fun-filled day! We kicked things off at Sam’s family beach house, a meaningful spot where they’ve shared countless memories together. The cozy, relaxed vibe perfectly reflected their easy-going personalities and made my job a breeze (ocean pun intended). Since it was also Sam’s birthday, we celebrated with margaritas before heading down to their favorite stretch of beach for sunset photos. Katie and Sam are genuinely the sweetest couple, and the session felt more like spending time with friends than working. I can’t wait to capture their wedding this upcoming summer!
What to Consider: Beach Engagement Photos
If you’re considering beach engagement photos, Lincoln City is a fantastic option. This charming coastal town along the Oregon Coast offers everything from rugged cliffs to soft sandy beaches. It’s a versatile location that works beautifully in any season. Whether you’re hoping for those soft, golden hour moments or love the drama of moody Pacific Northwest skies, Lincoln City delivers.
One thing to keep in mind when planning beach engagement photos is the weather! The Oregon Coast is known for its ever-changing conditions. I always recommend bringing a few extra layers and embracing the wind—it adds a romantic and candid touch to your images. Plus, beaches like the ones in Lincoln City tend to be quieter than other coastal towns, giving couples more privacy and space to relax.
How to Time Your Engagement Session
When it comes to timing, scheduling your session around sunset is ideal. The lighting is soft and flattering, and the beach tends to be less crowded in the evening. Lincoln City also has plenty of hidden gems, from tide pools and driftwood to unique rock formations, making each session feel unique and personal.
If you’re dreaming of a beach engagement session that feels both intimate and adventurous, Lincoln City might be the perfect fit!
