Bloedel Reserve Engagement on Bainbridge Island, WA | Brett and Katie

Seattle Wedding Photographer Kirk Mastin — Sun, 15 May 2011 03:03:40 +0000

I’m so thankful I met Brett and Katie. This is not just because they are a wonderful couple, but also because they introduced me to this hidden gem: Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island has just announced that they will host their first wedding. This is really cool because, until recently, it was a private residence and closed to the public.

What better way to wrap up a fun northwest engagement photography session than to take a romantic ferry ride back to Seattle?

Thank you Brett and Katie for a great day. I look forward to your wedding!

Thanks to Polka Dot Bride for featuring one of our favorite engagement sessions. I photographed Tiffany and Paul at Snoqualmie Falls last year on a gorgeous day. If you’re not familiar with the location, it’s where the famous Twin Peaks t.v. series was filmed. It’s a fabulously picturesque spot. Check it out.

The Clark House on Hayden Lake, Rehearsal Dinner Photography | Mike + Laura

Seattle Wedding Photographer Kirk Mastin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:16:49 +0000

The wedding really starts the night before at the rehearsal dinner. Friends and family convene to share stories about the bride and groom, eat fantasic food, and renew bonds of family and friendship.

Mike and Laura’s rehearsal dinner at The Clark House on Hayden Lake was the perfect example of this. Nestled on the bank of Hayden Lake, the Clark House was originally constructed as a private summer home for the powerful and very wealthy. Princes and presidents came to the Clark House to enjoy Hayden Lake and entertain guests from around the world.

The entire evening was very special. Cocktails were served on the veranda, and guests mingled among the well kept grounds of the mansion. I had a great time meeting Mike and Laura’s family, who were incredibly nice and easygoing. Towards the end of the evening, everyone gathered in the great hall for a slide-show about Mike and Laura’s life together. It was so much fun to be part of the excitement leading up to their wedding day.
