Monochrome Winter Wedding at Seattle’s SODO Park

November 25, 2022 Alyssa Ayala

On Cameron and Jaylen’s crisp winter wedding day, guests bundled in their best ascended the candle-lined stairway before entering the warm, industrial foyer of SODO Park. Upon entering the venue, guests then walked through the tied-back ivory drapes which led them to the cozy, candle-lit ceremony space. The front of the ceremony was defined by an asymmetric pair of free-standing floral-covered columns, consisting of baby's breath, white roses, dried grasses, and lunaria.

Hanging bistro lights dangled gracefully above the ceremony space, creating a canopy of illumination that cast a warm and romantic glow over the entire scene. The soft, golden light from above was mirrored by the aisle lined with hundreds of ivory pillar candles within clear glass hurricane vases. The soft flicker of candlelight illuminated the path, casting a soft, intimate ambiance that seemed to come alive with every step. The candles, in their varying heights, added depth to the atmosphere, creating a sense of intimacy to the setting for the couple to exchange their vows.

Following the ceremony, guests were invited to indulge in an assortment of hors d’oeuvres and cocktails in the adjacent room while the ceremony space was transformed into an industrial monochrome wedding dinner reception. Long exposed wood reception tables lined the center of the venue, surrounded by round tables covered in white table linens. These tables were adorned with flickering candlelight and plumes of playful baby’s breath, creating a rustic yet elegant ambiance. At the front of the room, the bride and groom sat at their candle-lit, rustic sweetheart table facing their wedding guests so they could fully witness and take in the special gathering.

Find Your Perfect Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

December 3, 2018 Alyssa Ayala

Having your wedding in the wintertime means bundling up if you are having your wedding in a cold location. As a bride, staying warm while dressing fashionably can be a challenge. Our solution? Choose a wedding dress with long sleeves to keep out the cold. Even if your wedding dress sleeves are simply made of lace, that lace detail will do wonders at keeping your body heat in.

Check out our favorite long sleeve wedding dresses for the winter wedding season. And feel free to go bold with showing skin in other places besides your arms…opting for a high slit in your skirt or a revealing, open back can make all the difference in showing off your personal style on your wedding day.

Wintry Snoqualmie Pass Engagement Session

February 7, 2018 Alyssa Ayala

Oh my goodness, everyone. These images of Neta and Evan's snowy engagement session are TO DIE FOR. I wanted to give them the opportunity to enjoy picture-perfect engagement photos because they were telling me how they were thinking of maybe just having their friend take one or two for their save-the-dates, and obviously, I was like no, no, no - that will not do. For a couple who has been together for NINE years and who has never had any professional photos taken of them together, their engagement session had to be done the right way.
