Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, Bellevue Hyatt

By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

The Hyatt Regency in Bellevue has a lot going for it.  It has a great lobby area, beautiful suites and rooms, a large set of ballrooms and access to the beautiful downtown Bellevue are for photographs.

Just outside the Hyatt is Bellevue Place and this cool statue. 

Downtown Bellevue is a great place to shoot portraits.  Lots of variety and not too much foot traffic to avoid.

I love this red wall on the side of the Bellevue Art Museum.

This is on one of the skywalks between the downtown shopping areas.  Very cool architectural details.

I liked this moment.

Pickering Barn in Issaquah

By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

Pickering Barn is a converted dairy farm that is now a wedding venue operated by the City of Issaquah.  It has very nice grounds and the barn makes for a great architectural backdrop.

The wedding ceremony area just outside the barn.

The Pickering Barn is painted the proper red!

Underneath the beautiful willow on the grounds.

I was very happy with this image as I was trying to get the flare to come down from the barn. 

This image taken during the first dance was one of my favorites of the day.
