A romatic night at Canlis


At L&C's wedding in Canlis, the indoor setting under Seattle's night sky was nothing short of enchanting. Despite the challenges of nighttime photography, the soft indoor lighting created a warm, inviting atmosphere. As a photographer, I thrive in any lighting condition—whether it’s the ideal soft daylight or less-than-perfect indoor lights. The evening was filled with beautifully lit, candid moments that truly reflected the joy and uniqueness of their celebration.


They chose Canlis for its renowned ambiance and its exceptional bar. They both love a great drink and were captivated by Canlis's reputation for top-notch cocktails. This venue not only matched their taste but also added a touch of sophistication to their evening. It was an environment where every sip reflected their love for fine beverages, enhancing the celebratory feel of their special night.
