UW Arboretum Engagement sessions are always a favorite for our team. This beautiful spot is full of color, nature, and peaceful energy that makes every photo feel alive. We love how the Arboretum changes with the seasons lush greens in spring and summer, warm tones in fall, and soft light year-round. It’s one of those places that feels endless, with winding paths, quiet corners, and open spaces perfect for outdoor engagement photography. Every time we plan a session here, we know we’ll be surrounded by a mix of calm beauty and natural charm that’s ideal for couples who love the outdoors.
Shelley and Jacob’s story feels just as joyful and easygoing as the setting. They met on a ferry during a social event soon after moving to Seattle for their tech jobs. What started as a friendly conversation turned into something special over time. Now they love spending their weekends traveling, cooking new recipes, and signing up for fun classes or lessons. They’re happiest when they’re outside together, hiking, biking, or kayaking somewhere new. Their laid-back energy and sense of humor made this outdoor session feel relaxed and fun just the way we love it.
At Original Weddings, we believe engagement photography should capture the heart of a couple’s story, not just their poses. Our approach is to keep things natural and comfortable so couples can just be themselves in front of the camera. Every professional engagement photographer on our team brings creativity, patience, and genuine care to each session. Whether it’s at the UW Arboretum or another scenic location, our goal is to create photos that feel timeless and full of meaning.
What makes engagement photography so special is how it captures a couple’s connection before their wedding day. It’s a chance to slow down, laugh, and make memories together. We love seeing couples relax as the session goes on, and those moments of laughter and closeness often become the most cherished photos. Many of our clients have shared their thoughts and experiences in their reviews, and hearing how much they enjoyed their time with us always means the world.
Our engagement photography packages are flexible and designed to fit a variety of styles and preferences. We’re happy to talk about prices, options, and ideas to make your experience unique. If you’re planning your own UW Arboretum engagement or looking for a Seattle engagement photographer, we’d love to hear your story and capture your moments beautifully.
