Melody by the Water’s Edge: Seattle Alki Beach Wedding Photography
Some weddings feel gentle, quiet, and deeply musical. Yueyi and Tom’s ceremony at Seattle’s Alki Beach was exactly that. The soft waves, the skyline shimmering in the distance, and the moment Yueyi lifted her violin to play for Tom created a scene that felt like a private concert by the water. As a team based here in Seattle, we at Soul Mates Bridal were honored to be part of their day and help bring their vision to life.
A Coastal Ceremony Filled With Music and Light
Alki Beach always offers a special kind of calm. On this day, the tide moved slowly and the afternoon sun stretched across the water, giving everything a warm glow. Yueyi and Tom chose this place for their ceremony because it felt open and free, a setting that matched their quiet and steady connection.
When Yueyi began to play the violin, the beach fell still for a few seconds. Her music carried across the water, turning the moment into something heartfelt and unforgettable. Tom stood listening with a softness in his expression that said more than any words could.
A Bridal Look Made for the Coastline
Yueyi shared that she wanted a gown that moved beautifully outdoors, especially at the beach. During her fitting, she tried several designs before choosing Galaxy of Snow, a dress with a fuller skirt that complemented the natural backdrop. She loved that she did not need to worry about styling or accessories because everything was prepared for her in one place.
From her own words:
“I tried many dresses and finally picked this one because the skirt flowed so well at the beach. There were so many beautiful bouquets and accessories that I ended up not using anything I bought before. Everything felt effortless.”
That is exactly what we want for our brides. Every fitting, every detail, every adjustment is meant to help each woman find a version of beauty that feels natural and true to her.
A Seamless One-Stop Experience
Both Yueyi and Tom mentioned how relieved they felt to have everything handled for them. Their notes on social media echoed something we hear often:
“Makeup, hair, the gown, photography, editing, everything was taken care of. I did not have to worry about anything. The staff were patient and professional, and the experience felt comfortable from start to finish.”

Capturing a Ceremony That Felt Like a Melody
The entire session flowed with a sense of rhythm. The wind lifted the veil at just the right time. The light softened around their faces. The skyline behind them formed a quiet frame for the story unfolding in front.
As the sun dipped lower, Yueyi and Tom stood close together, the waves touching the shore beside them. It felt like the end of a song, gentle and complete.
Conclusion: A Beginning by the Water
At Soul Mates Bridal, we believe a ceremony is more than a date on the calendar. It is the first chapter of a marriage. Watching Yueyi and Tom exchange vows at the water’s edge reminded us once again why we do this work with so much care.
