BRIAN & ANDREA – SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Brian and Andrea began their day with a romantic horse-drawn open carriage ride through Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square neighborhood and Occidental Park, ending under the impressive arched entrance of the Court in the Square.

Their cosmopolitan urban style wedding took place in a room filled with natural light pouring through the Court’s five-story glass-enclosed architecture.  The emotional and spirit filled ceremony took place in front of the reflecting pond with gerbera daisies and floating candles adding to the dreamy atmosphere.

Immediately after the ceremony, the couple was whisked away to the rooftop for a private moment alone enjoying sunset with Seattle’s towering skyline as their private backdrop.

Rejoining their guests, the bride and groom enjoyed their reception mingling with guests and dancing around the Court’s historic glowing streetlamps.
