Fox Hollow Farm Wedding Photography, Seattle WA

Best Seattle outdoor wedding venues

Oh boy, I may have found my new very favorite outdoor Seattle wedding venue. Emily and Warner celebrated their love at the gorgeously curated and nature-infused Fox Hollow Farm, hidden within the hills of Issaquah WA. This 1940 manor is striking all on its own, and features manicured gardens throughout the property, a forested creekside, dreamily beautiful views of Tiger Mountain and a rustic barn/tent/lawn area for wedding guests to explore. It’s one of those places where your happiness increases simply by standing there, so a wedding in this space is absolutely picture-perfect. Check it out for yourself at the gallery feature below!
