This gem of a venue is nestled deep in the woods in North Snohomish, near the tiny town of Machias. It boasts magnificent views of the mountains on one side, and a direct line to the summer sunsets on the other. This venue is filled with wooded charm – it can be rustic and country or a pacific northwest dream filled with bohemian elegance.

The grounds are immaculately landscaped with photography – and hidden surprises for guests – in mind. There is a wide open grassy lawn, a ferned mini-forest, old tractors and machinery, and plenty of charm all over this breathtaking property. The venue is spacious, and entirely outdoors. They do have tents, though, so don’t be afraid of the rain! There are two ceremony sites, and the main one can hold up to 200 guests.

While the ceremony spots are hilly and earthy, the reception area is paved and easy for all members of the family to enjoy. The parking area is nestled behind the majority of the festivities, making loading and unloading easy, and hidden away enough that they will have little to no impact on the photos from your wedding.

The venue has tables (rounds and rectangle), chairs, and lots of room for your ideas. Most couples use the rounds, but we found that the gorgeous family-style seating we so love worked perfectly in the reception space. Check out that gorgeous dessert table above – that lives in the bar area of the venue, and is there for you to use! How cool is that! They also have a wooden bar, and some awesome wine barrels and spools.

The grooms space faces away from the bride’s ready area, and is close to the parking area. The brides ready area is located beneath the Lodge’s main house, and next to the Lookout Lodge Getaway (which many couples rent out for the night of the wedding). Bonus: They also host another private rental nearby on Lake Bosworth, which is perfect for family or bridal party traveling to the wedding (or even for the couple if they’d rather stay offsite. Check out the Bosworth Bungalow here.

Our overall review? This is a beautiful space for the couple that wants to be out of the city. Not only is it quiet and peaceful here, but you’ll literally feel like you’ve rented your own private mountain for your wedding day. There are so many options for photos, incredible spaces for the ceremony, and did we mention – a view that takes your breath away??

DOUBLE BONUS:
 We have an AMAZING special for couples that book at the Lookout Lodge – we will take 40% off the Complete or VIP wedding package.

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.
