One of the most frequently asked questions I get as a wedding photographer is “Where should we photograph our engagement session?” Luckily for us, the Pacific Northwest and the Seattle area offer no shortage of options. We are surrounded by many beautiful locations that facilitate amazing engagement sessions. The hardest part is choosing! Below, I have compiled some more unique locations to help you plan the perfect engagement session - and more importantly, capture perfect pictures.
1. My first favorite is Saltwater State Park. This location shines at sunset for an amazing session. You and your fiancée can share an ice cream and explore the tide pools at low tide!
2. Another amazing sunset location is Coulon Beach Park. Here you can watch the boats as they come and go and maybe even toss around the football.
3. One on my favorite city parks is Volunteer Park. Here you have beautifully landscaped grounds and a backdrop of the city skyline. If it rains? There is the conservatory that also yields amazing photos.
4. Lake Union Park is a great urban park. Hidden within it is the Center for Wooden Boats. This is a gem of a find for boat lovers as it features a collection of historic boats that make a great background for engagement sessions. This park also offers the option of capturing city skylines.
5. If you are a graduate of the University of Washington then you can wax nostalgic and have your pictures taken on campus. Even if you are not, it is a beautiful location. With great architecture, a large collection of cherry trees that blossom in the spring and an amazing lakefront view, you will have a hard time choosing where to pose!
Some of my favorite woodsy locations close to Seattle:
6. For those in the South End I love Lake Wilderness Arboretum in the spring it is full of beautiful booms and has a great lake view.
7. Close to town but feels way out, is The Seattle Arboretum, you can not beat the fall colors here!
Again, these are just a few of my favorite locations to in the Seattle area. There are many more to choose from that suit nearly any couples style and taste. I would love to chat with you and get to know your goals. Together we can select the perfect location for your Seattle area engagement session!
