A Day That Felt Unforgettable at Capitol Building Olympia
When Reed and Liangliang reached out to us, it was the night before their courthouse ceremony. No timeline, no stress, just the two of them looking for something natural and meaningful. They weren’t after staged moments. What they wanted was simple: photos that felt like them.
The morning began at our studio, where Liangliang got ready with our makeup services and a quiet sense of excitement. After changing into her gown, we headed to the Capitol Building in Olympia, one of the most cinematic elopement spots near Seattle. From the moment she stepped onto the marble steps, we knew the day would unfold beautifully.
No Poses, Just Presence
Some couples show up with Pinterest boards. Others like Reed and Liangliang — show up with trust. “We’ll leave it all to you,” they told us. So we kept things light and easy. We guided gently, captured quietly, and let their chemistry take center stage.
They wandered the marble halls hand in hand, laughed under the stone arches, and danced like no one was watching in the garden outside. The result? A gallery full of honest, elegant moments. Nothing forced, nothing overly planned, just a real couple living in their joy.
The Dress That Brought It All Together
Liangliang’s bridal look was effortlessly graceful, perfectly suited to the quiet romance of the Capitol’s grand marble halls. With a delicate bouquet in hand and a soft A-line silhouette that moved gently with every step, she brought a calm, cinematic beauty to the space. Each glance, each gesture between the couple felt natural, like they had always belonged in this moment.
And Reed? He kept it classic with a black suit and easy charm that balanced the session perfectly.
