Adventure with Me | Lookout Lodge Snohomish Wedding

We have been looking forward to this Snohomish wedding at The Lookout Lodge since Jessica & Jacob’s engagement session at Deception Pass.

Not only are they complete naturals in front of the camera, but they’re head over heels in love with each-other. They have a sweet familiarity and story… but of course that’s always better told by the bride:

How did you meet?

We met the week before winter camp but didn’t really notice each other. Then came winter camp. I saw him playing drums and instantly developed a crush. He had no interest in me and actually accused me of following him around (I wasn’t, I just happened to be doing the same things he was). The day camp ended we became friends on Facebook.

There was a snow storm that week and school was closed every day. We texted from the time we woke up until we went to sleep. That Friday, I was staying at my friend’s house and she skyped Jacob so I could talk to him. He decided to brave the storm and drive to hangout with me. I put on some snow gear and walked to the park to meet him.  We hung out and talked for awhile and then parted ways. I remember telling my friend that I didn’t think he liked me because he didn’t try to kiss me.

Jacob ended up skyping me later on that night and we talked for hours. My friend kept laughing at us, so Jacob decided to start writing notes to me instead of talking. At around 2:40 am on January, 21, 2012 he wrote on a piece of paper, ” Would you like, maybe, to be my girlfriend? Y/N?” I said yes, and here we are almost five years later, more in love with each other every day.

 

And what about the awesome proposal details?

We took a trip to Oregon for the weekend. We were walking around all day at the Japanese Gardens and then we went to the International Rose Gardens. Jacob was joking about stealing a rose. A little while later he said he took a rose for me, we joked about it and then he pulled a beautiful glass rose out of his pocket and opened the top and the ring was inside. He was so nervous, it was very sweet. He asked me to marry him and I of course said yes.

 

Why did you choose the Lookout Lodge?

We went on the Snohomish wedding tour last summer, the Lookout lodge was one of the first venues we visited, we loved everything about it, the ceremony space, the woodsy feel, and the mountain backdrop.

 

Did you DIY any of your decor?

I DIYd most of the decor. All the centerpieces, wood signs ( seating, reserved, gifts, hashtag), the welcome mirror, the best day ever banner, the birdcage card holder. The groom made the state cut out sign and the cupcake stand.

 

What inspired your clothing choices?

I fell in love with the first dress I tried on but had lots of alterations done to make it perfect for my style (such as making it more fit n flare vs the original a line and adding the lace scallop on top. The groom looked perfect in navy blue which complemented the blush really well.

 

Tell us about the unique moment in your ceremony?

Jacobs sister sang a song (and played her guitar) while we signed our marriage license with ‘everyone as our witnesses’.

How long have you been a Snohomish Wedding Photographer?

Kate has been photographing since 1997 and Josh started in 2011. We started photographing weddings together then.

Josh and Kate of GSquared Weddings have photographed over 643 weddings together across more than 15 years — specifically in the Seattle and Snohomish County area. That’s not a flex for its own sake. It means that when your timeline runs 20 minutes late, when the clouds roll in over your outdoor ceremony, or when your reception venue is lit exclusively by Edison bulbs and bad overhead lighting, we’ve been there. Hundreds of times. And we know exactly what to do.

As a husband and wife team, we also bring something no two-photographer strangers can replicate — we communicate without words, we read a room together, and we move through your day as a unit. A Snohomish wedding photographer with genuine field experience doesn’t just take better photos — they protect your entire day experience. That’s what 643+ weddings actually buys you.

How do I know GSquared Weddings is the right Snohomish wedding photography team for us?

Honestly? You’ll know pretty fast. If you read through our work and our words and thought these people get it — trust that instinct.

We’re built for couples who want their day to feel like themselves, not a performance. Couples who want a team that genuinely shows up — not just with cameras, but as timeline wranglers, veil fixers, chaos calm-ers, and two people who will absolutely tear up at your first look. We’ve spent 15 years and 643+ weddings earning the trust of couples across Seattle and Snohomish County, and our approach has never changed: protect your vision, protect your experience, and keep your messy, beautiful, real love story safe.

If you’re looking for heavily staged, ultra-polished, everybody-stand-still photography — we’re probably not your people, and we’ll tell you that honestly. But if you want someone to be there for all of it, exactly as it happens? That’s exactly what we do.

What is your photography style, and will my Snohomish wedding photos look natural or overly edited?

At GSquared Weddings, our photography style is rooted in one core belief: real is always better than perfect. We shoot in a documentary-editorial style — meaning we’re capturing what’s actually happening, not directing a magazine spread. Candid tears, windblown hair, belly laughs mid-vow, the flower girl losing it in the corner — that’s what we’re after.

Our editing is clean, timeless, and true to life. We don’t chase trendy presets or heavy filters that will feel dated in five years. What you see in our galleries is what actually happened that day — the light, the color, the emotion — preserved honestly. Your Snohomish wedding photos will look like you, not like a template.
