Southern Oregon Wedding Photographer

A weekend celebration in the Northern California redwoods

Wedding photographer serving Northern California and Southern Oregon

Kate Donaldson is a wedding and elopement photographer for couples who seek an immersive wedding experience unique to the Southern Oregon coast. Elope along the Samuel H. Boardman corridor, say your vows with family and share a chic dinner party with your closest friends. Walk hand in hand with your favorite person as the Pacific Ocean turns to gold in the last light, your veil trailing in the coastal breeze. Plan an elegantly curated wedding weekend at Crook Point with a full timeline of events. A first dance by lantern light on Harris Beach. Settle in for s’mores and champagne. Elope at the Chetco Inn in Brookings, then wind your way down 101, through the redwoods and all the way to the Bay. I can’t wait to hear about the ways you are keeping your wedding day true to you, and I would be thrilled to document your wedding celebration in Southern Oregon.

Images that immerse you in a moment and a landscape all at a once
