Seattle isn't just a beautiful city — it’s a love story waiting to be told at every corner. With its dramatic coastlines, lush parks, and cozy urban spots, Seattle offers endless backdrops that are perfect for capturing your connection authentically.
At Frame by Two, we believe the location you choose should feel like a natural extension of your story — whether that’s barefoot at the beach, wandering a city street, or tucked away under giant evergreens.
If you’re planning a couples session, engagement photos, or just want to celebrate your relationship with a session that feels like you, here are some of our favorite Seattle photoshoot locations — plus a few tips for picking the perfect spot.
Discovery Park: Wild Beauty and Golden Light
Discovery Park is one of Seattle’s true treasures — and easily one of the most requested spots for couples sessions.
Why we love it:
Vast open meadows, windswept beaches, and forest trails all in one location.
Gorgeous sunsets that cast a soft, golden glow across the fields.
Space to explore, play, and move naturally — perfect for capturing real, unposed moments.
For couples who want a mix of nature without leaving the city, Discovery Park feels like a hidden world just minutes from downtown Seattle.
Pro Tip: Discovery Park looks different with every season — wildflowers in the spring, golden fields in the summer and early fall. We’ll guide you to the best spots depending on the time of year!
Kerry Park: Iconic Seattle Skyline Views
If you’ve ever googled "Seattle skyline photo," you’ve probably seen Kerry Park. It's tiny but mighty.
Why we love it:
Epic view of downtown Seattle with the Space Needle front and center.
Stunning sunset and twilight shots with the city lights sparkling behind you.
Feels intimate during early mornings or weekdays when it's less crowded.
For couples who want that classic "we're in love AND in Seattle" feel, Kerry Park delivers effortlessly.
Pro Tip: If you’re up for it, we can pair Kerry Park with a nearby urban neighborhood stroll for variety in your gallery.
Pike Place Market: Playful, Urban, and Full of Life
Looking for something colorful, spontaneous, and fun? Pike Place Market might be your perfect match.
Why we love it:
Endless colorful backdrops — flower stands, neon signs, cobblestone alleys.
A vibrant, playful energy that brings out natural smiles and laughter.
Opportunities for fun, documentary-style photos — sharing a pastry, browsing flowers, dancing on the street.
Pro Tip: Morning sessions (around 7–8 AM) are magic — fewer crowds, beautiful soft light, and the feeling that you have the whole market to yourselves.
Alki Beach: A Slice of Coastal Calm
Dreaming of sunset walks and salty air without leaving the city? Alki Beach is your spot.
Why we love it:
Long sandy stretches, driftwood, and wide-open skies.
Stunning views of downtown Seattle across the water.
Laid-back, romantic vibe that feels effortlessly natural.
Pro Tip: Bring a blanket and we’ll stay for blue hour — the soft, dusky light after sunset that makes everything feel cinematic.
Hidden Gems: Personal Spots That Matter
While Seattle has no shortage of “wow” locations, sometimes the best backdrop is one that already holds meaning for you.
Maybe it’s the park where you walk your dog every Saturday. Maybe it’s your favorite coffee shop. Maybe it’s your own living room, filled with laughter, pets, and coffee mugs.
The best photos come when the location feels like yours. When you book a session with Frame by Two, we always chat about what feels most authentic to you before picking a location. A place that’s meaningful creates natural, comfortable energy — and that’s what truly shines through in your images.
Tips for Choosing the Right Location
1. Think About Your Vibe Are you dreaming of wild and free, cozy and intimate, playful and urban, or timeless and classic? Your location should match the energy you want to capture.
2. Trust the Light Beautiful light can transform a simple location into magic. We always guide you on timing (golden hour is our best friend!) to make the most of natural light wherever we shoot.
3. Bring Your Story Props aren’t necessary, but if there's something meaningful to you — like a picnic setup, your pet, or a favorite book — it can add a personal layer to your gallery.
4. Don’t Stress About Weather Seattle's moody skies? We love them. Even misty, drizzly days can create dreamy, cozy photos. We’ll adapt, bring umbrellas if needed, and chase whatever light the day offers.
Choosing a location for your couples session is about more than just scenery — it's about finding a space where you feel your best, truest selves.
At Frame by Two, we’ll help you choose the perfect place, guide you through the session with ease, and create a gallery that captures not just how you looked — but how you felt.
