Elopement photographer in Oregon

Before Our Eyes Photography

Hi, I’m Mattie, the photographer behind Before Our Eyes Photography! I specialize in Oregon Coast elopements, capturing the wild beauty of the coastline and the intimate, meaningful moments that make your love story unique. Having lived in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington, I’ve developed a deep love for the rugged, breathtaking landscapes each place has to offer. From moody coastal cliffs and windswept beaches to towering evergreens, glacier-carved landscapes, and wild mountain scenery, I love helping couples find the perfect place to celebrate their love. Whether your dream elopement takes you along the Oregon Coast, into the mountains of Washington, or to the wild beauty of Alaska, I’m passionate about documenting your day in a way that feels authentic, adventurous, and true to you. I believe love is love, and every love story deserves to be celebrated. At the end of the day, I want you to be fully present, soak in every moment, and walk away with photos that bring you right back to the feeling of it all.
