Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland

by Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

The Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland sits right on Lake Washington and has beautiful views. It has a tent right next to the lake where they have the weddings, making for beautiful summer evening weddings with the sides open and beautiful view during dinner.

This is one of the lakeside conference rooms that was provided for the guys to get ready in.

This image of the guys shows the shoreline, the marina and the hotel in the background. The best man only got mildly damp.

I just liked this one.

The dress hanging in the hotel room.

The tent and the views of the lake for the guests.

The bride on the dock.

Just inside the tent area are the ballrooms, the bar and this beautiful staircase to the lobby.

You can see the bride and a bridesmaid on the deck of the lakeview room.

Another view of the wedding area inside the tent.

I loved this boat that went by. Gorgeous.

Some night portraits after the ceremony.

Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle

by Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

Blessed Sacrament in Seattle is my new favorite church to photograph at.  It is stunningly beautiful with exposed brick, stained glass, wood pews, wood supports near the roof.  It’s just a stunning piece of architecture. 

The stunning first impression.

The church is no less impressive inside.

The view from the choir loft.

I love this image with the sun streaming in the windows.

Newcastle Golf Club in Bellevue - Just a few more!

by Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

I photographed quite a few weddings at Newcastle Golf Club last year, so lots of gallerires.  Beautiful place, beautiful day, beautiful couple.

I love this staircase.

 

The first dance.  I really like the domed ceiling and huge light fixtures in the ballroom.

I love this image taken of Neil the bagpiper. 

Palace Ballroom by Tom Douglas in Seattle

by Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

The Palace Ballroom is a beautiful place right in the heart of Seattle.  It sits just a couple blocks from Westlake Center and the surrounding downtown shopping area and less than a mile from Seattle Center.  And, of course, the food rocks!

The welcome sign on the sidewalk.

The Monorail broke down right outside of the Ballroom.  They were evacuating the passengers with a ladder truck.  I took this image in the reflection of the Ballroom window.  The guests got a kick out of going around the police barrier tape to get to wedding reception!

This image shows the big windows and exposed brick.

The little flower girl walking down the aisle.

Here is another image showing the exposed and painted internal structure.

Here is the couple with Kent from A Heavenly Ceremony who performed the ceremony.

Newcastle Golf Club - Always a beautiful place

By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

The wedding planning was done by Janel at Occasions.

The Golf Club at Newcastle is one of my favorite places to photograph.  It has amazing views, is situated perfectly for sunset images, and, of course, a beautiful building and ballroom.

 

Their address is on Six Penny Lane.  Cute.

The sign down at the bottom of the hill before you get up to the golf course.

This is the front entrance of Newcastle.  The guests would normally arrive at the far right side for the wedding.

Another view of the beautiful building.

The dress hanging in the bride’s room.  Probably my favorite on-site room to get ready in.  Lots of natural light.

Guys getting ready in the men’s locker room.

Another view of the bride’s room.

This is just after they saw each other on the patio.

Walking on the grounds.

This image was taken on the patio.

Inside the tent.  This is generally where the ceremony is held.

Cocktails were on the patio.

The amazing view of Seattle from the patio area.

If it is not the best place in the Seattle area to take sunset photographs, it has to be close.

All the guests lined up to watch the sunset and the photographs.

Inside the ballroom.  Very elegant.

Inside the “Star Trek Lounge” that was curtained off in the ballroom.  The bar is made entirely of ice.  Very cool.

The guests really enjoyed the ice bar.

And finally the getaway.
