After postponing their party due to COVID-19, Tia and Julie decided they would still get married on their original wedding date. The couple eloped at the breathtaking Hug Point State Recreation Site on the Oregon Coast. After saying “I do” beside gorgeous falls, they explored the caves and beaches nearby.
Photographer Nadia Joyce called it “a dreamy, magical adventure.”
