Discovering the perfect blend of natural beauty and authentic joy, I recently photographed this delightful couple at Discovery Park in Seattle. As a Seattle Engagement Photographer, having sessions like these truly reminds me of the joy I feel whenever I capture a couple’s love.

A 70s Vibe in Modern Times

This summer engagement session had a distinct 70s vibe, starting with the couple in matching “Camp M&M” shirts. Their playful energy was palpable, and the matching outfits added a touch of charming and unique nostalgia. As the session progressed, they switched outfits, with him in a collared shirt and her in a knit vest. The change in attire brought a different, yet equally fun, dimension to the shoot.

The Perfect Summer Day

The day could not have been more perfect. The sun shining brightly, cast a warm glow that highlighted the couple’s happiness. The natural light at Discovery Park has always been a photographer’s dream, but this day was exceptional. The sun’s rays magnified the couple’s joy, making each photograph a glowing representation of their love.

Words from the Happy Couple

When the couple received their photos, their reactions were heartwarming. Here’s what they had to say:

“These are STUNNING, oh my gosh!!!! That sunset is just insanely beautiful and makes these images even more special. The light looks even better than we could have hoped for! Thank you so much for letting us reschedule to get the gorgeous glow!

I’m so so so grateful you included this many photos, each one is a total delight to us. We had SO much fun with you in Discovery Park, and we love that you captured all of the joy in these images 🙂 What a truly special keepsake of this time for us. Ahhhhh, we’re just over the moon!”

Tips for Preparing for Your Seattle Engagement Session

1. Choose Meaningful Outfits: Select outfits that reflect your personality and relationship. The matching “Camp M&M” shirts in this session were a perfect example of how attire can add a personal touch.
2. Consider the Season and Time of Day: The best natural light is often during the golden hour, shortly after sunrise or before sunset. This session’s stunning sunset light was no accident; it was carefully planned.
3. Communicate with Your Photographer: Discuss your vision and any specific ideas you have for the shoot. This ensures your photographer can capture the moments that matter most to you.
4. Be Yourself: The best photos come from genuine interactions. Relax, have fun, and let your love shine through.
5. Plan for Flexibility: Weather can be unpredictable, so being open to rescheduling can result in much better photos, as seen in this session’s beautiful sunset.

A Seattle engagement session is more than just a photo shoot; it’s a celebration of your love and a preview of the wonderful journey ahead. Capturing these special moments is an honor. If you’re looking for timeless, joy-filled engagement photos, Discovery Park is a breathtaking choice, especially on a sunny summer day.
