Fairytale Winter Wedding at Lords Hill Farm & UW | Monroe WA
Winter Weddings are amazing. Especially when they have fairytale inspiration and feature a bride as beautiful as a princess.
Lord Hill Farm weddings are stunning in the summer, but the beauty of the grounds for a winter wedding is beyond compare. Katerina and Vincent’s decor was simple, but beautiful. They pulled in tones of blush pink & gold for romance, and hints of navy and gray for sophistication for this beautiful Snohomish Winter Wedding. One of my favorite touches was the simple Beauty and the Beast inspired rose on the table near the fireplace. It was understated and elegant, and truly captured the feel of the event. Even better, we got to explore the gorgeous architecture and grounds of University of Washington with them a few days later.
We always believe that our couples tell the story the best, so let’s hear all the fun stuff from Katerina:
He lived 2 floors above me at an apartment near University of Oregon. He was starting his PhD program for physics, and I was just finishing up my Post-bach. We met at a friend’s house that was a floor between us.
We went to whistler to go snowboarding, and we were staying at this romantic bed and breakfast. After dinner, we went walking around with light snow falling around us. We stopped in front of Christmas lights to take pictures. My fiance gave the phone to a complete stranger as told him to take as many pictures as possible. Then he turns around and proposes. I was so surprised the photographer (the stranger) took pictures of me jumping up and down.

Yes, that sobbing lady in green is me.
I didn't even have time to put makeup on ... Not that it would have mattered because I would have just cried it all off.
My whole face did me wrong. Who cries like that?!?
No matter what, just know you don't look like THIS when you're crying on the wedding day.
Also, that's my awesome kid on their wedding day. Don't they look amazing???
There is something magical and powerful about seeing yourself for the first time on your wedding day.
And yet, this moment is often overlooked. We make sure it happens.
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.
