June 4, 2017 Alyssa Ayala

The city of Seattle has some amazing views that make perfect backdrops for wedding and engagement photos. Myself and a few other wedding vendors took these two cuties to Golden Gardens Park for an evening wedding photography session and the results were too perfect! At golden hour, the setting sun reflected off the sparkling water of Puget Sound and cast the most beautiful light onto Hila and Caleb's romantic seaside picnic. The Olympic Mountain Range lingering in the background looked so peaceful and regal in the distance. Just thirty minutes north of Downtown Seattle, this beach destination was the perfect getaway from the big city!
