First Covenant Church in Seattle

By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

First Covenant Church is right downtown Seattle.  It has a beautiful and unusual circular design with twin grand staircases on either side of the altar. 

This is the beautiful exterior.

This stain glass window is in the getting ready area upstairs.

Here is Lindsey coming down the staircase to see her groom, Jason.

You can see more of Lindsey and Jason’s wedding photographs here!

Villa Academy - Sacred Heart Villa Academy

Villa Academy as photographed by Seattle Wedding Photojournalist Cory Parris 

Villa Academy, also sometimes called Sacred Heart Villa Academy (that’s what the old sign says out front) is a beautiful old brick building with a wonderfully ornate chapel. 

 

The back of the building, which is where the guests enter from the parking lot. 

 

 

I love this image of the older gentleman walking with his grandson in the chapel. 

 

This is the front of the Villa Academy.   

 

Candle lit hall to the chapel. 

 

Here the bride is being walked down  the aisle in the chapel.

 

This is the wide view of the chapel with the high arching ceilings and ornate decor.   

 

 

This is view from the balcony.  This is also a rarity.  It is a photograph taken by my wife!  She only comes with me a couple times a year, but she always does a great job.   

 

 

 

And one quick formal in front of the altar. 

Sheraton Seattle Hotel and Towers

The Seattle Sheraton offers a huge venue right at the heart of downtown Seattle.  I didn’t get to try the food, but it looked good.  The cake they made was beautiful. 

 

Looking up at the towers. 

 

 

Getting ready in one of the rooms. 

 

Looking out the window before the wedding. 

 

The tea ceremony was in one of the large and beautiful suites. 

 

 

Walking just a couple block away from the hotel in any direction offers great opportunities for portraits.

 

This is taken a TwoUnion Square half a block from the hotel.

They can evidently change the color of the ceiling chandalier things.  I’ve had them be green and blue respectively while I have been there.

Hollywood Schoolhouse

The Hollywood Schoolhouse is a beautiful location in Woodinville.  It features large open spaces with exposed brick and antiques. 

Exterior of the schoolhouse. 

 

 

 

The bride sits upstairs. 

 

The hardwood floors, the antique bar and the exposed brick are shown here before the setup has started. 

 

This is the guest entry from the parking lot. 

 

The wedding party waiting upstairs for the ceremony to begin. This area is usually for getting ready, but I have also seen it used as a cocktail area while the downstairs is reset for dinner.

 

The finished space for this wedding.  The couple added the draps to divide the space. 

 

The groom and his walk to the ceremony.  Again with the antique furniture and rich carpets in the entry area. 

 

 

The Hollywood Schoolhouse also has all sorts of interesting areas for photographs.

Inglewood - The Golf Club at Inglewood

 Posted by Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris

The Golf Club at Inglewood is a beautiful indoor and outdoor location that I have photographed at a few times.  Elegant inside with a wonderful fountain outdoors to have your ceremony in front of.  And the food is pretty good too!  :) 

Putting green and front entry. 

 

 

 

The dining room being set for dinner. 

 

Inglewood has great dressing rooms upstairs.
