Carillon Point Winter Engagement Session

Kirkland, Washington

On a foggy winter morning, I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful engagement session at Carillon Point in Kirkland, Washington. The misty atmosphere created a romantic and ethereal backdrop for the couple's engagement on the Washington waterfront.


As the couple neared the waterfront at Carillon Point, the grey skies provided a soft, diffused light that made the couple stand out beautifully against the lake. The fog rolling in from Lake Washington added an extra layer of intimacy to the photos, creating a sense of seclusion in this popular location.

These candid shots, set against the foggy backdrop, truly embodied the cozy and intimate feel of a Pacific Northwest winter - Whether you're planning an engagement session, elopement, or wedding in the Seattle area, don't shy away from embracing the unique charm of our winter weather. As this session at Carillon Point demonstrates, a foggy morning can provide the perfect backdrop for creating unforgettable, romantic shots.
