Perched above the dunes inside the Adrift Hotel, Pickled Fish pairs panoramic ocean views with elevated comfort food and craft cocktails that hit just right. It’s the kind of spot where you can sip something seasonal, listen to live music from emerging PNW artists, and watch the sun dip into the Pacific—all in one evening.
I partnered with Pickled Fish to capture the mood and magic of their space: the golden hour light bouncing off a glass of wine, the steam rising from a bowl of clams, the laughter from a table mid-toast. These aren’t just food photos—they’re a full sensory experience built to reflect the restaurant’s coastal soul.
