Seattle is one of those cities where you can go from grabbing drinks at a tucked-away bar to standing in front of a full skyline—without ever leaving your neighborhood. That’s what makes Seattle such a cool backdrop for engagement sessions. You get a mix of movement and calm, edge and softness, all in one place. Whether you’re after that iconic skyline shot or just want something that feels lived-in and personal, the city is perfect.

For Sharice + Ryan, that’s exactly what we wanted—something that reflected them and felt like an actual day in their life. We started at The Nook, their kind of spot: chill, cozy, and a great way to ease into the session. Then we made our way over to Alki Beach, where the light hit just right and the Seattle skyline rolled out in full behind them. It was fun, casual, and still had that “we’re celebrating something big” kind of feel.

If you’re thinking about a Seattle skyline engagement session and want to see what’s possible, this is one to bookmark.
