They Danced by the Light of the Moon | Alki Beach Sunset Engagement

 These two have the best luck when it comes to sunsets.

Their last engagement session was at Washington Arboretum, and we were spoiled with amazing colors. For this engagement session, the warm glow of a late spring sunset danced with the waves on Alki Beach and gave us another perfect picture evening.
Alki Beach can be both a challenge and a dream for engagement sessions. It’s a popular Seattle spot to get views of the Space Needle and downtown, but to also relax and enjoy the sound of waves crashing and is a host to glorious sunrises and sunsets. This evening was no exception – Alki Beach was filled with people – lucky for us, DC and Clarissa are so in love, you’d have never known!

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
   They danced by the light of the moon,
             The moon,
             The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Meet your photographers.

We’re Kate (she/her) and Josh (he/him). Married humans, emotional chaos wranglers, coffee worshippers, timeline nerds, Marvel fanatics, and occasional ugly criers at weddings. (Okay, maybe more than occasional. Look, vows get us. Every damn time.) Kate has been photographing since 1997 and Josh picked up the camera in 2011. We’ve done over 600 weddings together, including wedding coordination (sometimes we even get to do both at the same time!) 600+ weddings → “That’s 600 families who trusted us to be invisible magic and backup problem-solvers.” 14 years → “We’ve seen it all — and we know how to handle anything without making it your problem.” Coordination → Kate is also a certified coordinator which gives that extra boost for you during planning and on the day itself “We don’t just photograph your day — we keep it flowing, calm, and meaningful.”
