the bride laughs during her wedding ceremony

Kiana Lodge – Washington Wedding Photographer

December 26, 2019

In September, I traveled to Washington state to assist friend and fellow photographer, Sarah Joy Fields, to photograph two weddings. This one was held at the beautiful Kiana Lodge along the shore in Poulsbo, Washington approximately seventeen miles northwest of Seattle. To reach Kiana Lodge, one is required to travel via ferry about twenty four minutes. We were en-route as the sun was setting. The sky was glorious with color as we navigated across the water with anticipation.

The Kiana Lodge wedding venue sits on six acres with 1,000 feet of no-bank waterfront. It has beautiful, manicured gardens and abundant plant life with fragrant cedars and firs. It is one of the most scenic backdrops on the Puget Sound. It can accommodate up to 350 guests for weddings. Two different options are available for the ceremony site.

David and Morgan’s wedding day was brisk with rain occurring during their ceremony. The weather did not dampen the love and excitement that took place that day.
