A Dreamy Styled Shoot at Cannon Beach | Photographs by Emily Zamora!
Posted on June 10 2020
We have the happiest styled shoot for y'all this morning! Emily created the sweetest styled elopement shoot at Cannon Beach a few months back and we can't help but smile huge every time we look at these. Take it away, Emily!
Definitely more creative. Although I did take a photography class in college I am definitely not highly educated in all the technical things about photography. Real life and joy inspires me. Freezing moments in time and capturing them in a way that makes you feel the moment is what I strive to do with every session.

The idea of DIY and unconventional ways to elope was the main theme throughout the shoot. Keeping things simple and do-able, while also leaving room for personal flare. (an excerpt from my own small post about it) - If breaking the norms is your kind of thing, check out this styled “unconventional with and edgy flare” seaside elopement at Cannon Beach in Oregon. From the bride wearing non-white separates, to the minimal decor and intimate ceremony- this little elopement is packed with details you don’t want to miss!
Edgy and unconventional/unique while also being a little whimsical.
I did not hand create anything for the shoot, but did end up bringing a few items from my own closet.
Did anything go wrong during your shoot or in the planning process? What happened and how did you make it work?
Yes! The whole shoot started out from another photographer who reached out to me because she was going to be visiting Oregon. I love any excuse to hang and shoot with fellow photographers from all over so I was more than down. Sadly as the months and weeks progressed, she become more and more aloof and unhelpful with gathering resources and vendors. In the end, she ended up cancelling on me the morning of. But the shoot itself ended up turning out to be stunning and sooo much fun. We had an amazing sunset, AND I ended up asking a insta-photog friend to join me for the shoot and we met in person for the first time and have since created a real-life friendship!
It would be to focus on your communication with and taking care of your other vendors. If you treat them with respect you will get all of that and sometimes more in return. Whether that be helping with product costs (like florals) or giving them some photos of themselves in return for their service. You take care of them and they will take care of you!
Emily, we love how happy these photographs turned out and love all the details + location, too! Thanks for sharing your photographs with us and we cannot wait to see what you create in the future! You're awesome!
XOXO. Lissa and Lauren
