A Dreamy Pacific Northwest Elopement on the Washington & Oregon Coast
Kylah & Ethan’s Wedding Week - Vow Adventure
Kylah and Ethan kicked off their unforgettable wedding week with a dreamy elopement experience along the stunning Washington and Oregon coastlines. This is Day One of their five-day celebration—a beautiful beginning to a weekend full of love, adventure, and intentional moments.
Their journey started at the Sou’Wester Lodge in Seaview, Washington—an eclectic, art-filled retreat known for its collection of restored vintage trailers and cozy cabin rooms. Located just a short drive from Astoria, Oregon, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and retro vibes. For those flying in, Portland International Airport (PDX) is the most convenient option, about two hours away.
Why Sou’Wester Lodge Was the Perfect Choice:
Kylah and Ethan fell in love with the unique charm of Sou’Wester Lodge. The creative atmosphere, vintage trailers, and nearby coastal adventures made it the perfect place to gather with their closest friends and family for an intimate wedding experience. It offered them more than just a venue—it became a destination filled with character and heart they can come back to for years to come.
A Private Vow Exchange at Deadman’s Cove
Before guests arrived, Kylah and Ethan wanted a moment just for themselves. Inspired by Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, they envisioned a whimsical and romantic setting to share their private vows—and they found just that at Deadman’s Cove on the Washington coast.
Tucked between dramatic cliffs and dense forest, this hidden beach created the perfect backdrop for their first look and vow exchange. Sitting barefoot in the sand, they shared heartfelt promises in a moment that felt straight out of a storybook.
Sunset Adventure at Cannon Beach
After their ceremony, we crossed state lines to the Oregon Coast, heading to the iconic Cannon Beach area for a sunset adventure. Surrounded by sea stacks, rugged cliffs, and golden light, it was the perfect ending to their first day. It was a quiet, magical moment—just the two of them soaking in the start of something extraordinary.
