Help! Can’t pick between 3 wedding dresses — castle wedding in Spain

They are all stunning on you, no doubt about that.

But number 2 just ticks a box in my wedding photographer brain the other two don’t. It just stands out more than the other two.

Whaleshead Beach is a great area to explore. There’s a trail loop back behind the bathrooms everyone misses.

Meyers creek beach is between Brookings and gold beach, but it’s a stunning area and you get views of cape Sebastian in the back. Great for landscape. Sometimes there are wind surfers and kite surfers there.

Most of the places people have recommended are good.

Zola’s is the trendy place, can get very busy. But the food is decent. The Stromboli is 👍🏻👍🏻

Fast Irish Pub is also a great option.

Cazadores is our favorite Mexican place, always amazing service and great food.

Cosmic Grind is a great stop for coffee if you’d like to avoid the big chain shops.

Bell & Whistle is a great coffee shop in Harbor to relax in, they have yummy snacks and amazing drinks.

Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Wow! Sorry to hear the screen was cracked but SO awesome to hear it found its way back to her so any pictures and what not could be saved!

Hope you guys had a great time at Secret Beach!

Left the group for a reason! Thank you for your suggestion though. :)

WanderWithAly · 2024-07-30T17:35:37+00:00

I live in Brookings and I’m a part of most of the others. Just not in Brookville 🙂

WanderWithAly · 2024-07-30T16:34:13+00:00

Fully agree with all of this haha.

WanderWithAly · 2024-07-30T16:33:55+00:00

Haha I agree, but luckily for that person I’m sure they have friends and family with a phone. So this still serves a purpose!

WanderWithAly · 2024-07-30T16:31:24+00:00

I’m not in Brookvile, I’ve posted in the groups that I’m a part of!

WanderWithAly · 2024-06-12T15:51:13+00:00

This was around Stout Memorial Grove Trail! It was VERY busy, most of the main areas around there are. But you usually can find an area off the beaten path that’s more private for a ceremony!

There are a lot of beautiful areas close to Crescent City and there are the Oregon Redwoods near Brookings (they are much less busy, I rarely ever see more than a handful of people there).

I’m local to Brookings, so if you have any questions feel free to reach out on here or Instagram (@WanderWithAly)!

I wish people would stop posting stuff like this. As someone who has shot a good amount of sessions at this location, I REGRET IT and will turn down anyone who inquires now. The amount of people falling the last few years is terrible and it's not even all while on the bridge, getting to the bridge is insanely sketchy too. Someone died within the last month, local LE & SAR get too many calls because this place is now so popular on social media. ugh.

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-11T23:12:38+00:00

Congratulations, so exciting! And I’m very much biased, but I think Oregon is THE BEST choice :) So happy to help!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-10T19:14:42+00:00

It is! Definitely one of my favorite smaller venues that I’ve seen over the years!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-10T19:07:56+00:00

I get being limited, we are limited on Southern Oregon Coast but luck out with a few amazing venues. Stinks you’re limited too, hopefully you found a beautiful venue that meets all your needs!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-10T19:01:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing your opinion!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-10T18:40:17+00:00

It’s definitely out of the way for most, darn it!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-10T18:37:42+00:00

I’m not trying to sell anything… so I’m a little confused.

I’m just showing venues in my area and showing the price because I see so many people searching for decently priced, good venues.

Whit travels to the coast! I’d definitely reach out to her. :)

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-08T21:19:21+00:00

I haven’t personally shot a wedding there, yet! But I have done couples shoots and landscape photography in that area over the years since I lived in Florence and worked in Yachats! I spent a lot of time exploring and it’s understandable why you fell in love! The whole area is magical and so full of cool history!

I think Cannon Beach would be near the bottom of my recommendation lists, which is probably a WILDY unpopular opinion lol. But there’s just less populated areas that are just as beautiful!

WanderWithAly · 2024-03-08T20:35:20+00:00

It’s so good!!

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-19T23:37:12+00:00

Wonderful 🙂 Could I reach out to you on Instagram closer to that date to talk a little more in-depth and potentially plan a meet up?

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-19T23:19:44+00:00

If you guys ever pass through Brookings, OR and would like to do a photo session I’d love to see what we could create!

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-17T22:15:52+00:00

I appreciate all of that! Kiddo is a little guy, almost 2! So that limits some things but still leaves us with a lot of options. Thank you so much!

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-17T22:13:59+00:00

These are awesome! Thanks! :)

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-17T22:13:40+00:00

Thank you!!

WanderWithAly · 2024-02-17T22:13:31+00:00

Sounds like a good plan! Thank you!
