The Kelley Farm and 6 More Must-See Wedding Venues in the Seattle - Tacoma Area

The Kelley Farm - Bonney Lake, WA

One of the best parts of being wedding photographers in the PNW is getting to work at some of the most beautiful venues around, and yes, we definitely have our favorites!

Whether you're still searching for the perfect spot or narrowing down your top choices, here are the venues we always get excited about. These are the places that deliver stunning backdrops, smooth timelines, and happy couples - every single time.

🌼 The Kelley Farm – Bonney Lake, WA

Rebecca’s #1 favorite and most-photographed venue—hands down.

We’ve photographed over 150 weddings at The Kelley Farm and shoot around 20 weddings a year here alone. Why? Because it’s just that good. The getting-ready spaces are beautiful and functional, the barn and outdoor ceremony areas are always photo-ready, and the light at golden hour? Chef’s kiss. This place is basically our second home, and we love it more every time.

🏰 Thornewood Castle – Lakewood, WA

A true fairy tale setting and one of Rebecca’s personal favorites. From the ivy-covered walls to the lakeside views and romantic gardens, every inch of Thornewood is like stepping into another world. It’s dramatic, elegant, and gives us all the romantic vibes.

🪻 Laurel Creek Manor – Sumner, WA

Another one of Rebecca’s favorites, Laurel Creek has that perfect blend of elegance and charm. The gardens are pristine, the architecture is timeless, and the photo opportunities are endless. It’s a dream venue that feels intimate and grand at the same time.

🌿 Genesis Farm & Garden – Enumclaw, WA

Rebecca also adores this venue for its peaceful, garden-filled setting and thoughtful layout. It has a storybook feel that’s perfect for romantic portraits, with a variety of backdrops all within walking distance. It’s one of those places that just feels good to photograph.

🌲 Cedar Springs – Port Orchard, WA

Alex’s favorite. Tucked in the woods with towering trees and rustic charm, Cedar Springs feels like a hidden forest escape. The light here filters beautifully through the trees, making it one of the most magical spots for photos—especially if you're dreaming of a woodsy, nature-forward wedding.

🎉 Red Cedar Farm – Poulsbo, WA

Also a top pick for Alex. This venue blends fun and elegance in a unique way, with red barn vibes, vintage games, and beautifully maintained grounds. It’s ideal for couples who want something a little different but still totally gorgeous.

🌊 Kiana Lodge – Poulsbo, WA

Another of Alex’s favorites. Located right on the water with views of the Olympics, lush gardens, and a stunning log cabin-style reception space, Kiana Lodge is perfect for couples who want that classic PNW vibe - romantic, natural, and unforgettable.
