Why choose Destination wedding in Seattle?
Eight months of the softest light in America, and a mountain that is visible about a third of the time. That is what decides how a Destination wedding session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Seattle and shoots across Washington all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Kerry Park, Queen Anne, the window to aim for is blue hour. The session runs 10 hours and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Seattle look like?
Coverage runs 10 hours and follows your schedule rather than a fixed route. When a gap opens for composed frames, we step out to Kerry Park, Queen Anne or Discovery Park — a few minutes on foot, which is that much less taken out of the day.
