September Sunshine | Olympic Sculpture Park Seattle Wedding

It was an uncharacteristically sunny and hot September day for this Seattle wedding.

From the moment that Lauren inquired, I adored her. She has one of the purest, kindest hearts I’ve ever seen in someone. She genuinely takes the time to show that she cares about others. I loved emails from her – I felt like I was talking to an old friend. Her soul is as beautiful as she is, too. One of the best kind of people. Reading her words about life and love, it only made sense that they chose to have their Seattle Wedding at the beautiful location of Olympic Sculpture Park.

When we met them in Seattle for their engagement session, Ed was quiet and reserved, a great match for Lauren’s compassionate personality. And when they mentioned Ultimate Frisbee as their “fun” thing, I was sold. They also have the cutest love story … When they met they discovered that they had the same exact (down to the year) birthday of Christmas Day! It was fate! But as always, we prefer to have the bride tell the tale.

In Lauren’s own words:

We met online, through OKCupid. It was Ed’s first date from online and (thank goodness) Lauren’s last!

We started at Schilling, a cider bar in Fremont, then walked down below the Fremont bridge, along the Burke Gilman trail and found a bench. It was the same spot of our first kiss!

 

One of our favorite thing about Seattle is it’s proximity to water. We love that the Sculpture Park will showcase Seattle’s beauty to our out of town guests.

 

Coral is very bright and happy and beautiful. I just like the color and we’re getting married at the end of summer, when it’s warm, but hopefully not too warm!

 

What special moments do you have planned for the ceremony?

Ed’s sisters will each do a reading. At the very end, we are going to invite everyone to sing along to “Joy to the World.” That might make people laugh!

 

I’m anxious, but excited for our first dance. We’ve been taking lessons and I think it will be fun!

Skip the chaos and the mall crowds—our Santa Sessions are designed for something better.

These 25-minute experiences give your family unhurried time with Santa in a calm, cozy setting. No lines, no rush, no awkward stage smiles—just space for real conversation, giggles, and wonder. Whether your kids want to show Santa their wish list, tell stories, check the nice list, or just soak up the magic, this is your chance to make it personal. We can even create magic storybook photos together!

It’s the kind of Santa experience you’ll actually enjoy—and the kind your kids will remember.

Each session includes a minimum of 25 digital images, a personalized gift for each child from Santa, and a letter from Santa delivered in your gallery. You will also be able to take family photos with and without Santa included.
