Cindy and Tyler picked Gas Works Park for their Engagement Photography Services session, and we could not have been happier. This one of a kind Seattle park sits on the north shore of Lake Union, at the south end of the Wallingford neighborhood. It juts out into the water on a grassy point. From here, the downtown skyline seems to rise right out of the lake.

The park has a fascinating story. For about fifty years, the site was home to a plant that turned coal into gas for the city. After it closed, Seattle bought the land, and landscape architect Richard Haag helped transform it into a park that opened in the mid 1970s. Instead of tearing everything down, he kept many of the old towers and pipes as giant, rusty sculptures. Today Gas Works Park is a Seattle landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

For engagement photos, this mix of industrial history and waterfront views is so much fun. The rolling green hill gives us wide views of Lake Union, sailboats, and seaplanes gliding in. The old machinery adds texture and a cool urban edge. As the sun goes down, the skyline starts to glow, and the whole scene turns soft and romantic.

Cindy and Tyler’s Seattle Engagement Session

Cindy and Tyler met at a happy hour right before Christmas in 2024. Tyler actually passed on the free champagne that night. But the moment he saw Cindy walk in with her glass, he knew she was the one, and the spark was instant. Since then, these two have been inseparable.

They have shared amazing travel adventures together, including trips to Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean. When they are home, they love going wine tasting and spending time with each other’s families, sometimes even traveling with them. They also enjoy simple nights in with puzzles and Legos.

Our studio is based in Seattle, and we serve the entire state of Washington. City parks, mountain lakes, island ferries, and wineries all make wonderful backdrops for an engagement photographer. If you love seeing different locations, browse our blog for even more Seattle sessions and weddings.

Engagement photography is the perfect warm up for your wedding day. It lets you meet your photographer, practice a few poses, and discover what feels natural for you. We keep the session relaxed and playful, so you can focus on each other instead of the camera. Many couples use these photos for save the dates, wedding websites, and guest books. When the wedding day arrives, you can also add videography to capture vows, speeches, and dancing with full sound. It is a lovely way to remember both the look and the feeling of your celebration.
