There are sessions that feel less like photos and more like bookmarks in someone’s life — a quiet pause, a breath, a before-and-after moment. Har and Brynn’s session at Hug Point was exactly that. Soft, golden, emotional, and carrying the weight of a goodbye.

They were only a few weeks away from packing up their life in Oregon and moving across the country to Florida. This session wasn’t just an evening on the coast — it was their last chapter here. Their farewell to the place where they built memories, fell deeper in love, and carved out a life together.

Hug Point greeted us with that moody-warm glow the Oregon Coast does so well — reflections in the waves, soft wind, cliffs catching the last light. Har and Brynn showed up in the gentlest, most present way. Every touch, every laugh, every quiet look between them felt deliberate… like they were imprinting the moment into their bones.

Halfway through, they pulled out the love letters they wrote for each other. No audience, no pressure — just them, reading their words aloud with the Pacific as their witness. Pages fluttering, hands shaking, voices soft. It was private, sacred, and incredibly moving. The kind of moment you feel honored to be invited into.

We wandered the beach afterward — running into the water, holding each other close against the wind, soaking up every last bit of Oregon before beginning their new chapter as newlyweds. They had gotten married shortly before this shoot, and you could feel that newly-married glow all over them. So sure. So steady. So in love.

This session wasn’t just portraits on a beach.
It was closure.
It was gratitude.
It was the final sunset on a season of their life — captured gently, honestly, and with so much heart.

Har & Brynn, thank you for letting me document your goodbye to Oregon. Florida is so lucky to have you.
