Oswald West State Park

...a huge forest with a beautiful pathway through, purple starfish on the beach, a waterfall on the far end, and a gorgeous cove full of surfers made it a favorite stop on the Oregon Coast.

For Erin and Josh, it's an especially-romantic place for their relationship.  Bringing them back here for their engagement session was very meaningful, and we had the perfect June day for it...
