“We got so lucky,” Jim said.
Katrina wore a strapless, hand-beaded dress that was
“flowy and beautiful.” Jim wore a gray suit tuxedo. No shoes
were needed.
Jim’s childhood friend performed the ceremony, and the
couple was attended by friends from Eugene and San Diego.
The ceremony was “pretty casual, quick and sweet,” Kim
said.
“It will be a day we will never forget; it will always be in
our hearts,” Jim added.
Their wedding photos, taken by Julie Adams, of Cannon
Beach, capture the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse and Haystack
Rock in the background and the dunes in the foreground.
“She had us run up and down the beach, and she had me
swing Katrina around,” said Jim. “It was a good time.”
If other couples asked for advice for planning a wedding at
the beach, Katrina would suggest going through a resort. “The
resort has working relationships with vendors and shops,” she
said. “I would also suggest booking the hotel far in advance.”
The location is important, too. Cannon Beach will be long
remembered, Jim said.
“I’d be surprised if I could ever forget Cannon Beach,” Jim
said. “There’s no place like Cannon Beach.”
