Golden Gardens Park

Located in Ballard, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Seattle, is the Golden Gardens Park, a fantastic spot for your engagement photos with sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. You’ll find many different backdrops here that will help you capture the look you’re going for, with wetlands, beaches, hiking trails, and picnic areas full of unique elements. 

Imagine walking through sand dunes covered in golden grasses, the sunlight reflecting off their shimmering leaves, or hiking along the coast under the shelter of native trees. The shore is full of small but special textural elements like small rocks, pieces of driftwood, stumps, and even benches painted pink! You’ll have a blast finding the next spot that inspires you. For architectural elements, you can choose from moss-covered walls, charming fences, and the geometry of dock underpinnings for some really unique shots. For a majestic display of color, come in the fall when the hillsides will be painted with yellow and green as the leaves turn. 

For the couple that wants to show off the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest in the convenience of the city, Golden Gardens Park is a perfect spot for Seattle engagement photography.
