Oregon Coast | Sandy, Wildy in Love — A + R wedding gallery

COASTLINE AND WILD ELOPEMENT | Pacific Coast, OR

Many years after their wedding, Anna and Ruben dreamed of renewing their vows on the Pacific Coast,

before heading East to build a new life together.

By that time, social media had introduced me to the stunning designer Daci Gowns, who pours her heart and soul into every dress she creates. With trembling hands, I wrote the studio a letter, asking if the wedding dress might possibly be available for Anna… and Daci said “yes.” Daci completely stole my heart with her vision - a dress that truly reveals itself in nature, especially in the wind 🌪️ Every piece of silk is hand-dyed using plant- and fruit-based dyes, making it feel alive, almost as if it were breathing. Somehow, everything found its place.

There were three of them: the couple, wildly in love - the dress, and the wind..
