Jessica & Casey // Cape Kiwanda

Cape Kiwanda is one of the most interesting beaches I have ever been on!  It's on the coast of Oregon about 1.5 hours from Portland.  I was on a journey to find a specific wonder of the world-  the Duckbill Rock.  This is way up on a sandstone mountain, quite a climb and behind a wired off fence.  It's legal to hike into this area however is incredibly dangerous.  The sand can give way at any moment.  My couple Jessica & Casey were happy to take the journey to this beautiful and one-of-a-kind location.  With my camera equipment, 3 wedding dresses, 2 flower crowns and a bridal bouquet in tow I climbed up the tallest sand wall I have ever seen.  

I'm really excited for you to see these images.  This Duckbill Rock has been photographed 1,000's of times and has been in existence for 100's of years.  Only 2 or 3 weeks after our bridal session vandals destroyed this rock.  5+ adult men pushed it back and fourth until it collapsed.  The were caught on video.  Watch it here.

Oneonta Gorge in Oregon is one of the most interesting places I have ever visited.  David Schmaus a fellow creative (davidschumas.com) found this wonderful couple to hike back along the Oneonta Gorge for this spectacular shoot.  There is about a 1/2 mile hike along a 20 foot wide chasm to a hidden waterfall. Most of the walk is in calf high water but in some areas waist high.  At the entrance to the gorge there are many fallen trees that have made a giant wall that must first be scaled.  It seemed 20 ft high and 60 ft long.  Lots of unsafe climbing on wet logs and Tiffany did it in a wedding dress!!  
Thanks to Brides for Cause (http://bridesforacause.com) for the lace dress at the beginning of our shoot and Simply Bridal (www.SimplyBridal.com) for our second dress in the water.
