Seattle Engagement Photography
A little direction. A lot of room to be yourselves.
Your engagement session should feel more like spending time together than performing for a camera. I’ll give you enough direction that you never feel awkward or wonder what to do, but I’m not interested in turning the whole thing into a long list of poses — and I’m guessing you aren’t, either.
We’ll walk around, talk, laugh, move, and make a mix of relaxed photos and a few more intentional portraits along the way. Nothing overly complicated or forced. Just photos that feel like the two of you.
We can choose somewhere that already means something to you, or I can help you find a spot around Seattle or the Pacific Northwest that fits the scenery, season, and overall feel you’re drawn to.
Because No Two Stories Are The Same
When your engagement session is designed around who you are, it feels relaxed and natural — free from the awkward "what do we do with our hands" energy.
We hang out for a bit. I give gentle direction.
You forget the camera is there.
The result is photos that feel like you, not like a Pinterest board you tried to recreate.

Why an Engagement Session Matters (Even If You Hate Being Photographed)
It's your warm-up before the wedding. Most couples have never been professionally photographed together. This is where you learn what feels natural — without the pressure of your wedding day timeline.
It's a gallery you'll actually use. Save-the-dates, your wedding website, holiday cards, the wall behind your couch.
It's a date night. I'm serious. Couples spend the whole session laughing, holding each other, and being affectionate. It's the best date night you'll have all year.
It builds trust between us. By your wedding day, the camera feels familiar. Being present in your day comes naturally because we already know each other.

Lindsey is AMAZING!!! My fiancé and I took our engagement photos with her, and despite the gloomy weather, Lindsey created absolute magic. She is so fun to work with and made us feel so comfortable.
We had such a blast and cannot recommend her enough!!! We can’t wait for the next occasion to work with Lindsey!

Where Your Engagement Session Could Happen
Seattle is spoiled with incredible engagement session locations — coastal, urban, alpine, garden, beach, forest, downtown rooftops, you name it. I'll suggest the right spot based on your vibe and the season. Here are a few favorites:
- Discovery Park — bluffs, beach, lighthouse, forest
- Carkeek Park — Puget Sound views, driftwood beach
- Volunteer Park — polished gardens, conservatory
- Mount Rainier — for couples who want a real mountain backdrop
- Gas Works Park — Seattle skyline, industrial-chic
- Your favorite neighborhood, coffee shop, or hiking trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should we wear?
Earthy tones, layers, things you actually feel good in. Skip neon and giant logos. I send a full outfit guide once you book — and you can also see my complete what-to-wear guide here.
Can we do multiple locations?
Yes — especially with The Adventure collection. We can do an urban + nature combo, or any other mix that fits your vision.
What if it rains?
We embrace it. Some of my favorite Seattle engagement photos have happened in the rain. (But if it's truly unsafe, we reschedule.)
How long until I get my photos?
Within 2-4 weeks of your session. Each image is individually edited.
Do you travel outside Seattle?
Yes. Mount Rainier, the San Juans, the coast — anywhere in the PNW. Travel beyond a 2-hour radius may include a small travel fee.
Can we bring our dog?
Please. Dogs make the photos better, full stop.
How far in advance should I book?
4-6 months out is ideal, especially if you want a peak summer date.
When during our engagement should we shoot?
Most couples book 8-10 months before the wedding so the photos arrive in time for save-the-dates.
