A Summer Barn at Holly Farm Wedding

Early in August, we photographed a COVID-compliant, socially distanced and masked Barn at Holly Farm Wedding.

How did the two of you meet?
Caleb and I met via a mutual friend at a church retreat weekend in Leavenworth, WA. We were involved in separate groups and I’m so glad the groups joined together for this retreat.

How did the proposal happen?
Caleb took Chelsea on a date after not seeing each other for a while due to COVID. Chelsea dressed up and Caleb took her for a walk in the woods at a local park before “going to his apartment for dinner”.

Caleb had chalkboards on a side path with how they met (making fish tacos), first date (picnic point beach),  their trip (Banff, Canada), and reasons why he loved Chelsea.  At the end of the walkway, Caleb set up a covered sign (“Will You Marry Me?”) and a blanket set up with a picnic and pictures of our dating relationship. Caleb got down on one knee, popped the question and Chelsea said YES!  We took pictures with Caleb’s roommate, also a photographer and sat down for a picnic.  We came back to my house and celebrated with my roommates over steak and cheesecake while we called family and friends! It was magical and perfect!

P.S. I was surprised Caleb had a ring as everything was shut down due to COVID. Caleb planned ahead and picked out the most brilliant, beautiful ring!

SNOHOMISH WASHINGTON
OPEN TO TRAVEL WITHIN THE UNITED STATES

How long have you been a Snohomish Wedding Photographer?

Kate has been photographing since 1997 and Josh started in 2011. We started photographing weddings together then.

Josh and Kate of GSquared Weddings have photographed over 630 weddings together across more than 15 years — specifically in the Seattle and Snohomish County area. That’s not a flex for its own sake. It means that when your timeline runs 20 minutes late, when the clouds roll in over your outdoor ceremony, or when your reception venue is lit exclusively by Edison bulbs and bad overhead lighting, we’ve been there. Hundreds of times. And we know exactly what to do.

As a husband and wife team, we also bring something no two-photographer strangers can replicate — we communicate without words, we read a room together, and we move through your day as a unit. A Snohomish wedding photographer with genuine field experience doesn’t just take better photos — they protect your entire day experience. That’s what 630 weddings actually buys you.

How do I know GSquared Weddings is the right Snohomish wedding photography team for us?

Honestly? You’ll know pretty fast. If you read through our work and our words and thought these people get it — trust that instinct.

We’re built for couples who want their day to feel like themselves, not a performance. Couples who want a team that genuinely shows up — not just with cameras, but as timeline wranglers, veil fixers, chaos calm-ers, and two people who will absolutely tear up at your first look. We’ve spent 15 years and 630 weddings earning the trust of couples across Seattle and Snohomish County, and our approach has never changed: protect your vision, protect your experience, and keep your messy, beautiful, real love story safe.

If you’re looking for heavily staged, ultra-polished, everybody-stand-still photography — we’re probably not your people, and we’ll tell you that honestly. But if you want someone to be there for all of it, exactly as it happens? That’s exactly what we do.

What is your photography style, and will my Snohomish wedding photos look natural or overly edited?

At GSquared Weddings, our photography style is rooted in one core belief: real is always better than perfect. We shoot in a documentary-editorial style — meaning we’re capturing what’s actually happening, not directing a magazine spread. Candid tears, windblown hair, belly laughs mid-vow, the flower girl losing it in the corner — that’s what we’re after.

Our editing is clean, timeless, and true to life. We don’t chase trendy presets or heavy filters that will feel dated in five years. What you see in our galleries is what actually happened that day — the light, the color, the emotion — preserved honestly. Your Snohomish wedding photos will look like you, not like a template.
