Choosing a location to have your wedding is one of the most challenging and important parts of the planning process. Before you do anything else, you need to book your venue. I’ve been in the industry here in Washington for several years, so I have been lucky enough to shoot at many different locations, each with their own beauty and character.
I recently had a friend of mine, who just got engaged, contact me to ask my advice about venues to potentially host her wedding. And I thought I would share it with all of you! I know many of you are in the midst of planning for either this year or next, so I hope you find this post helpful.
I have shot at most of these locations, but some of the venues on the list are for weddings I will be doing this year and it will be a first for me (which I love because I get to be on my “creative toes” to create images of a place I have never been to!)
This list is in no particular order. I will let each one speak for itself. I love all of them for different reasons!!
#1 Beecher Hill House in Peshastin, WA

#9 Warm Springs Inn in Wenatchee, WA

And has a couple rustic barns to take photos by.
#10 Suncadia Resort in Cle Elm, WA
It has amazing views of the mountains.
#11 Imbrie Hall in Hillsboro, OR (this one obviously isn’t in WA, but I loved shooting a wedding there so I thought I would add it!)
The following is list of venues I have NOT photographed a wedding at but are on my schedule for this year!
#1 Wapato Point Cellars in Lake Chelan
#2 Bybee-Nims Farm in North Bend
#3 MAC (Museum of Arts & Culture) in Spokane, WA
#4 Mazama Ranch House in Mazama, WA
#5 High Cedars Golf Club in Orting, WA
I truly hope that this helps all of you who are in the search for the venue of your dreams. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call. I’m happy to share what knowledge I have about the area.
~Happy Planning!!!!!
