Wedding Hair and Makeup at The Lodge at St. Edward State Park — Kenmore's Most Enchanting Wedding Venue
The Lodge at St. Edward State Park sits in the old-growth forest on the north end of Lake Washington — thirty minutes from Seattle and completely removed from anything that feels ordinary. The 1931 seminary has been restored into one of the most visually stunning wedding venues in the Pacific Northwest. The Remington Ballroom. The Grotto. The Great Lawn. That hallway with the white arches and the natural light that photographers specifically plan their entire day around.
We showed up here for one of our brides. And the morning was exactly what a getting-ready morning at this venue should be.
The Getting-Ready Morning
The Lodge's suites are beautifully appointed and full of the kind of natural light that makes our work easier and the results more beautiful. Cool, soft, Pacific Northwest light filtering through original windows. Space for a full team to set up and move through a wedding party without any sense of rush.
What we build at The Lodge tends toward the organic and the intentional. Skin that glows in forest light. Hair that moves — textural, effortless, styled to hold through an outdoor ceremony and a full ballroom reception without losing what made it beautiful. A look that belongs in the trees and in the Remington Ballroom and in every image captured in that hallway.
The photography at this wedding was captured by Anna Peters — a Seattle-based film wedding photographer whose honest, connection-forward approach to documenting a wedding day is exactly the kind of work that makes a bridal look come alive in images. If you are getting married at The Lodge and looking for a photographer, Anna's work is worth your time.
