Rocky beaches, tall evergreens, and wide water views make Manchester State Park a true Pacific Northwest gem. As Seattle wedding photographers, we love any excuse to cross the water to the Kitsap Peninsula, and this park near Port Orchard is one of our favorite reasons. It feels wild and peaceful at the same time.

Manchester State Park sits along Rich Passage, looking out over Puget Sound. On clear days, you can spot the Olympic Mountains in the distance. The park started as a harbor defense post at the turn of the twentieth century, built to help protect Bremerton. Washington State Parks took it over in 1970, and today it is loved by campers, hikers, and couples alike.

The star of the park for weddings is the historic Torpedo Warehouse. Built in 1901 for the Army Coast Artillery, it was first used to assemble and store mines. Later it served as an officers club, barracks, and mess hall. Now the brick building with its arched windows sits right on the shoreline, ready for vows and celebrations. Add in the beach, the forest trails, and the soft island light, and you have a dream setting for photos.

Celebrating Rebekah and John Tyler

Rebekah and John Tyler chose a spot that is full of history and natural beauty. A park wedding like this one lets guests breathe in the salty air, enjoy the trees, and feel close to nature all day long. We were so happy to be part of their celebration on the water.

Our team is based in Seattle, and we serve couples across the entire state of Washington. We photograph weddings in city lofts, mountain lodges, island farms, and parks just like this one. Every wedding photographer on our team keeps the mood calm and easy. We give gentle direction when it helps and let real moments unfold the rest of the time. Our rustic editing style brings out the warm tones of wood, stone, and evergreen, which feels right at home here.

Thinking about a waterfront or park wedding of your own? We know how important it is to plan for light, weather, and travel time, and our team is happy to help you think it all through. We want you to feel ready and relaxed when the big day arrives.

Outdoor weddings in Washington bring their own kind of magic. Clouds can turn into soft, glowing light, and a little mist can make the trees look like something out of a storybook. Our team knows how to work with whatever the sky brings. We help couples plan backup spots and timing, so the day stays smooth from start to finish. We also love taking a short walk with couples to find quiet spots by the water or under the trees. Those few minutes together often turn into the most peaceful part of the day.

Seattle Wedding Photographers at Manchester State Park

Original Weddings is a team of Seattle wedding photographers who love the moody beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We chase the soft light, the tall trees, and the sparkle on the water. More than anything, we focus on you. We capture the nervous smiles, the happy tears, and the laughter that happens when you finally relax. Our photographers give simple prompts that help you feel natural. Then we step back and let the day unfold on its own. We love using the natural setting to frame each moment, from the tall evergreens to the rocky shore. Nature does a lot of the work for us out here.

Our studio is in Seattle, and we travel across Washington for weddings. Our team often works in Tacoma, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Gig Harbor, Bellevue, and Everett. We also catch ferries to the islands and drive out to the mountains when a couple calls. Rain or shine, we come prepared with a plan and a smile. We know how to work with cloudy skies and changing light. Your gallery will show both the big moments and the quiet ones in between. Our goal is a gallery that feels honest and calm, just like the Pacific Northwest itself. Even a gray afternoon can give us some of our favorite frames out here.

Seattle Wedding Videographers at Manchester State Park

Original Weddings also has a team of Seattle wedding videographers who capture the sights and sounds of your day. With video, you can hear the waves, the vows, and the cheers from your favorite people. We turn all of it into a film that feels warm and personal. We also capture little details on film, like the rustle of leaves, the sound of the water, and your guests laughing nearby. These sounds make your film feel like you are right back in that moment.

Our videographers team up with our photographers so the day flows smoothly. We travel from Seattle to Port Orchard, Tacoma, the islands, and beyond. Your film becomes a story you can share with family and watch on every anniversary. We plan around the weather, light, and travel time, so filming feels easy for you. When the day is done, we carefully edit your story with music that fits the mood of your celebration.
