Rainy Wedding at Gray Bridge

This rainy wedding day at gray bridge in sultan, wa was beautiful and filled with incredible details.

How did the two of you meet?
We met in college as students that lived in adjacent suites. We shared friends and coursework and quickly built a friendship that morphed into a romance!

How did the proposal happen?
Ted planned a picnic during our visit to the Brookside Botanical Garden in Maryland, after which he guided us to a gazebo and proposed!

Why did you choose Gray Bridge?
We loved the idea of an outdoor wedding, surrounded by tall trees and water. Gray Bridge being so close to our home is just a plus!

Are there any special moments planned during your ceremony?
We have a love letter ceremony where we have a bottle of wine and will place letters we’ve written to each other. We also have a traditional Indian Christian ceremony called Thali Kettu where Teddy will literally “ties the knot” with a necklace.

If we bumped into you on a relaxed weekend, what would you be doing?
Going on a picnic or exploring Seattle neighborhoods via their coffee shops. On a rainy weekend maybe cooking or watching tv.

“Stunning Photos and a Photography Dream Team!
Kate and Josh of GSquared are a dream team when it comes to wedding vendors. The consultation call gave us so much information and assurances going into the process. Our engagement photos will be cherished forever, and Kate gave us a lot of guidance for what kind of outfits to pack and locations to have the shoot!

On the day of our wedding, we were getting rained out and it was a stressful day. But Kate made sure to assure me that our photos were coming out beautifully even indoors, and made sure we got all the shots we were hoping for. The wedding world isn’t lying when they say your photographer is who you spend the most time with outside of your spouse, and it was both easy and assuring to have Kate nearby. Any concern or request she was there to help us prep for – my husband even told me after the wedding that Kate never said no to me when I had requests and just did her best to make it all work out! It’s also incredible to have two photographers because now we have photos from different perspectives; while we were taking family photos with Kate, Josh grabbed pictures of our guests having a good time. Our photos are amazing and we’re excited to put them into a book soon!

If you’re thinking of booking GSquared as your wedding photographers, do it immediately. I don’t think you could ask for a better team to capture the love and joy on your special day. We are so grateful to have found and worked with Kate and Josh, and cannot wait for future opportunities with our family!” – Junia & Ted

Kate of GSquared Weddings

Kate Gansneder has been photographing weddings since 1997 and has documented over 640 of them across Seattle and Snohomish County. That is not a number for its own sake. It means she has been in the room for enough first dances, enough ceremony tears, enough getting-ready chaos and family dynamics and moments that almost did not happen - that she reads a wedding day the way most people read a room they have been in a thousand times. Automatically. Without thinking about it. Already knowing what comes next. That depth of experience shows up in ways couples do not always expect. She notices you need water before you know you need it. She clocks who in the getting-ready room is spiraling and who is holding it together for everyone else, and she adjusts without announcing it. She handles the thing that almost went wrong before it becomes visible. She walks in and the energy shifts - calmer, warmer, more settled - and most couples cannot tell you exactly why, only that it happened. Couples who were convinced they were camera shy come home with photos of themselves laughing so hard they bent backwards. Couples with complicated family dynamics come home with portraits where everyone looks genuinely happy. Couples who were dreading the formal photo portion of their day come home saying it was actually fun. This is not luck. It is 640 weddings of learning exactly what people need in front of a camera and delivering it before they have to ask. Her 20+ years of experience as a wedding coordinator also helps. The reviews say it better than any bio could. Couples describe Kate as someone who made them feel calm when everything felt overwhelming. Who knew what they needed before they did. Who felt like a trusted friend rather than a vendor they hired. Who shielded them from problems until there was a solution. Who gave them unreasonable hospitality on a day when they deserved exactly that. She is a passionate advocate for Color Integrity editing - your photos should look like your actual wedding day, not a trend that peaks and ages. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, Style Me Pretty, and PNW Weddings. GSquared Weddings has 380+ five-star reviews and 11x WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards. She runs on caramel mochas, arrives 30 minutes early to everything, and will absolutely compliment you during portraits without realizing she is doing it until you giggle. Fair warning.
