Allison and Jay are two of the warmest and most welcoming souls. From the moment you meet them, you feel like you’ve known them forever. Photographing their Seattle wedding at Court in the Square was a joy from start to finish. Their celebration was heartfelt, intimate, and full of the tenderness that makes documenting love stories in the city so meaningful.
Why Court in the Square Is a Dream Seattle Wedding Venue
Court in the Square (Europa Events Seattle) sits in the center of Pioneer Square. It’s surrounded by historic buildings and the city. The venue’s signature glass ceiling and one wall lets in soft light that gives off such a cool affect. It’s the perfect blend of urban charm and romantic ambiance, ideal for couples who want a Seattle wedding that feels modern and also historic.
Allison and Jay shared their first look on the private rooftop above the courtyard, with the skyline stretching out around them. It was such a unique spot to capture the city around them.
Exploring Pioneer Square for Seattle Wedding Photos
One of the best parts of Court in the Square weddings is the built-in access to multiple photo locations. After the rooftop first look, we wandered through Pioneer Square. We stopped at tucked-away alleys, historic brick corners, and the tree-lined paths of Occidental Square. Seattle weddings allow for a full range of backdrops without needing to travel far. We love that for all of us on a hot summer wedding day.
Allison and Jay embraced that fully. They let themselves laugh, wander, play, and be themselves throughout their portraits, which is always my favorite way to work. The result is a gallery that feels true to them.
