Why choose Private event photography 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 Private event photography 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 3 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?
The typical route runs 3 hours and stays on foot. We start at Kerry Park, Queen Anne and move on to Discovery Park. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops without getting into a car, and the walk between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
