annon Beach has been a special getaway
spot for Hailee and Andrew Haley since
they met five years ago. In August 2020,
it solidified its importance in their lives by
serving as their wedding destination.
The couple from Vancouver, Washington,
got engaged in early 2020. After the coronavirus
pandemic hit full-force in March, Hailee said they “didn’t
have to change a thing,” because they were already planning for the
ceremony to take place on the beach.

“Cannon Beach is our happy place,” she said. “It’s where we go for
the day, it’s where we go for the weekend. Whenever we need to get
away, we go to Cannon Beach.”
They also wanted their wedding to be a small affair, attended
only by close friends and family. The ceremony and reception took
place near Breaker’s Point on the north side of Cannon Beach, with
Haystack Rock providing a lovely backdrop in the distance. Everyone
pitched in to help set up chairs and a simple wooden arbor covered in
silky white roses and greens.
“Our families came together to make it happen for us,” Hailee
“Cannon Beach is our
happy place, for the day,
for the weekend, whenever
we need to get away.”
