When I first met Maura at the Kitsap Wedding Expo in 2024, I was immediately struck by how thoughtful and thorough she and Alex were in choosing their wedding vendors. Their careful consideration of every detail made it clear they were the kind of couple who values genuine connections – and I was honored to make the cut as their Seattle engagement photographer.
They chose a stunning Washington Park Arboretum engagement session in Seattle, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect backdrop. The lush greenery, vibrant hydrangeas, and towering trees created an enchanting setting that perfectly captured their love story. As a Seattle wedding photographer, I’m always amazed by how the Arboretum’s natural beauty provides endless opportunities for romantic portraits.

A Special Balance
What makes Maura and Alex so special is their beautiful balance of opposites. Maura brings incredible energy and passion to everything she does, while Alex provides the calm, steady presence that keeps them grounded. Their connection is undeniable – you can see it in every stolen glance and genuine laugh captured during their session.
The couple’s love story began five years ago. While working at the same company, Alex locked himself out of the building. Maura came to his rescue and the rest is history! (Talk about a meet cute!) Alex’s proposal was perfectly them – intimate and meaningful, happening in their new home with their beloved pets Pancake and Luna as witnesses.

Washington Park Arboretum Engagement Session
Walking through the Arboretum’s winding paths and peaceful gardens, it’s clear these two are meant to be together. My job as their engagement photographer was effortless due to their obvious chemistry. I’m beyond excited to capture their October wedding celebration in Port Gamble, WA – one of the most iconic fall wedding destinations in the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle couples looking for engagement photography locations should definitely consider Washington Park Arboretum – it’s truly magical!
