A Beach Photoshoot at Proposal Rock Oregon
What inspired this beautiful beach shoot at Proposal Rock?
The inspiration behind this shoot was falling in love at Proposal Rock. Photographer Keena Good brought the entire session to life by letting Carly (she/her) and Kaitlyn (she/her) express their love naturally. The styling was intentionally minimal, focusing on capturing authentic, intimate moments without any artificial elements to ensure their true connection was the star of the shoot.
Tell us a little about Carly and Kaitlyn’s love story. How did you choose them for this session?
I’ve been Instagram friends with Carly for years, and when I was putting this session together, I knew she and Kaitlyn would be the perfect couple. They’ve been together for three years, and their love is so visible in every moment they share. It’s important to me as a photographer to work with real couples instead of models. Carly and Kaitlyn even co-wrote a poetry book titled Until Our 4evers Run Out, which captures the early stages of their love story through a collection of poems.
Why did you choose Proposal Rock, Oregon, as the location for this engagement shoot?
Proposal Rock, located in Neskowin, Oregon, is a special place that feels both intimate and dramatic, making it perfect for Carly and Kaitlyn’s session. With its scenic cliffs and lush surroundings, it offered a picturesque and private backdrop for the couple to share quiet, loving moments while the waves crashed nearby.
What’s one piece of advice for couples planning their own beach engagement photo session?
Go with a location that feels special to you, and keep everything simple and comfortable. Wear outfits you love and that allow you to move freely, so you can focus on just being present with each other. The most memorable sessions are those where couples can be their true selves, whether that means laughing, hugging, or just soaking in the moment together.
