"I’ve never been totally comfortable in front of a lens, but her calm, warm, and playful energy made all of that melt away. The shoot itself was so much fun! We were laughing and giggling away trying new ideas and poses. My Husband and I were just genuinely enjoying the moment with Desiree. Nothing felt stiff or overly posed, which can be hard to achieve! It was all so natural and easy, which honestly made the entire experience unforgettable.
If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel confident, seen, and completely comfortable, Desiree Dube Photography is the one. Her talent, kindness, and ability to bring out the best in you truly shine through every single photo."

Peak elopement vibes =
Writing vows together outside your cabin
Pop some champagne & celebrate
Get ready together
Head to your ceremony spot & smell the flowers
Arrive at a secluded beach and have some fun
Say your vows & share a first kiss
Hike to your second location
Relax on a cliff edge and listen to the ocean.
Chill vibes while waiting for sunset
Take advantage of that moody dusk lighting
Hike back out and head back to your cabin to celebrate.
Your elopement doesn't have to be some quick 15 minute ceremony and some pictures after. You deserve a day that makes you and your partner feel celebrated in all the ways YOU want to feel celebrated. Here's what can happen when you let go of everyone else's expectations, and have the day of YOUR dreams...
I'm based in Ohio!
Standard travel fees for Oregon are already included in your elopement package on the Oregon Coast - so one less thing to worry about! Any travel involving the use of a 4x4 vehicle or anything other than a normal commercial airline may be an additional charge.
I recommend starting to book at least 9 months out so we can ensure there is enough time to secure your preferred locations and activities for your elopement. Running on a shorter time frame? No worries, just reach out and we can start planning ASAP!
My Oregon Coast elopement packages include planning assistance and recommendations. From there, you would decide on your final locations, activities, and vendors. Then you would book and reserve independently.
As we are planning your elopement, we will think through some back up locations and activities in case of inclement weather. If it is just raining day of, we can likely continue on as normal. In case of more severe weather, we will work together to pivot.
Yes, I am happy to hike with you on your elopement day - I actually think of that as a core part of my role as your elopement photographer!! I am able to accompany you on up to a half-day (4 hour) hike. If you have something longer in mind, please let me know and I can let you know if it will be possible for me to accompany you.
Yes! You can have up to 15 additional people at your elopement ceremony and celebration. If you would like to include more people in your day, however, I would recommend photographers who specialize in weddings.
Yes! Depending on the location of your elopement, you can bring your pet(s) along for the fun! You'll just want to be aware of any leash laws or similar policies.
