Olivia and Carson’s MV Skansonia Wedding was pure coastal charm with a touch of modern romance. Perched right on Lake Union, this floating venue, MV Skansonia, is one of our favorite places to photograph weddings in Seattle. There’s just something so special about how the city skyline glimmers across the water and the gentle breeze adds life to every candid moment. The mix of vintage nautical style and panoramic views makes MV Skansonia a photographer’s dream. Every corner tells a story, especially when the light hits just right.
We began the day by capturing the tiniest details that make a wedding uniquely yours, the rings that symbolize forever, the soft wildflower florals in shades of sage, eucalyptus, and orange, and the carefully set tables waiting for celebration. Inside the chic lodge, Olivia and Carson shared their getting-ready moments, surrounded by laughter, anticipation, and the kind of love that makes the air feel light.
Their outdoor ceremony on the dock was breathtaking, framed by glistening waters and the Seattle skyline in the background. You could feel the joy in every smile, every breeze, every word exchanged. Before and after the ceremony, we captured countless portraits of the couple both inside the lodge and outdoors by the water, each image radiating that effortless elegance that defined their day.
There’s just something about weddings at MV Skansonia that never loses its magic. Imagine saying “I do” with the soft lake breeze wrapping around you and the water glistening in the background, it’s the perfect mix of serenity and celebration. Each time we photograph a wedding here, the feeling is truly one of a kind, and this venue gives us a flawless canvas to create unforgettable photos.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the space transformed into a lively evening celebration. The reception was filled with laughter, toasts, and so much dancing, all reflected beautifully on the water around them.
