Quite possibly the sweetest couple, Caitlin & Michael ventured up from California for their engagement shoot prior to their wedding day. Despite the gloomy coastal weather in Lincoln City, their infectious smiles and natural chemistry brought warmth to the misty surroundings.

We began at their Airbnb before heading to the beach, where we laughed, frolicked in the mist, spotted an adorable seal, and truly connected before their big day. Their easygoing, fun personalities shine through in these photos—so full of genuine joy and spontaneity. It was the perfect Oregon coastal session, embracing the misty rain and all its moody magic.
