The Elegant Dark Side | A Monte Cristo Ballroom Everett Wedding

Monte Cristo Ballroom was the perfect setting for this Friday evening Everett wedding.

When we arrived, people were milling about building the floral wall backdrop for the ceremony, setting the reception area tables, tying bows on the backs of chairs. The bride and her bridesmaids were at the nearby Marriott having their hair and makeup done while the groom and his groomsmen drank beer and hung out in the on site lounge, and we got right to work photographing details.

We loved the sweet father/daughter first look, and of course when Andrew saw his bride, Lanie, for the first time that day. We’d been lucky enough to work with most of the bridal party the weekend before at the rain storm wedding at Lord Hill Farm,, so there was a lot of laughter and joking going on throughout the bridal party photos and reception. They also had what I am fairly certain is the shortest ceremony we’ve ever experienced. It took longer to get everyone down the aisle than it did to get them actually married!

And of course, we couldn’t have Andrew & Lanie’s Everett wedding without the appearance of the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper helmets from their engagement session – we found some great ways to have them cameo during the ceremony.

Don’t forget to leave some comment love for this sweet couple below!

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.
