Smith Tower Wedding | Beka & Joe

Beka and Joe in one of the incredibly cool elevators at Smith Tower.

I met Beka and Joe at the Smith Tower in Seattle before their wedding. I love Smith Tower and have used in the background of so many of my wedding and elopement images. For this event, the wedding was inside the tower, which I hadn’t been inside for year. I am very glad that camera gear has improved so much in the time between and now has enough dynamic range to allow there to be detail in both the couple and the much brighter background.

Beka and Joe were a lot of fun to photograph. We walked around Occidental Square and then took some images by the amazing elevator bank, on one of the floors in the 20s, and then went up to the observation and bar floor for their wedding. After their wedding, Joe and some friends serenaded Beka with a country song they all might have heard at some point.
