    RHIPO Photography

    The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge sits east of Seattle with the Cascade mountains as a backdrop. We photographed Ananya and John’s Christian vows and reception here, the last of three ceremonies in a wedding that began with an Anand Karaj and a Vedic ceremony.

    This page shows how the day looked at the venue, from the ceremony lawn to the clubhouse, and what we plan for when we photograph an Indian or fusion wedding here.

    The ceremony lawn

    The ceremony was set out on the lawn: rows of white chairs, a pink-draped arbour, pink and white roses, and the mountains behind it all. A setting like this does a lot of the work, so we photograph the space before guests arrive, while it is still empty.

    With every guest in one place on the lawn after the vows, it was the moment for the one photo of everyone together, the mountains behind them.

    Portraits by the clubhouse windows

    The clubhouse has tall windows with soft daylight and green views beyond. Between the ceremony and the reception we used them for the couple’s portraits: quieter, closer photos away from the guests.

    The reception in the clubhouse

    The reception followed indoors in the clubhouse: dinner, speeches, a first dance, a champagne tower and a dance floor where the grandparents held their own.

    Planning your photos at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge

    • Time the ceremony with the light. The lawn faces the mountains, and the clearer the sky, the more of the Cascades you see behind you.
    • Plan the all-guests photo on the lawn straight after the ceremony, while everyone is still there.
    • Use the clubhouse windows for portraits between the ceremony and the reception. They work in any weather.
    • Ask the venue about its wet-weather plan for the ceremony, so you know where it moves if it rains.
    • If your wedding has a Hindu or Sikh ceremony elsewhere, as Ananya and John’s did, allow travel time between venues in the day’s timeline.

    For weddings that bring two families and more than one tradition together, see our fusion and interfaith wedding page. The full story of Ananya and John’s three ceremonies is in their real wedding, and every photo is in the full gallery.

    Questions couples ask

    Have you photographed a wedding at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge?
    Yes. We photographed Ananya and John’s ceremony on the lawn and their reception in the clubhouse. The photos on this page are from that wedding.
    Can you photograph Indian ceremonies held at other venues on the same weekend?
    Yes. For Ananya and John we covered an Anand Karaj at a gurdwara, a Vedic ceremony at home and the vows at Snoqualmie Ridge, each planned in advance with its own timeline.
    Do you offer wedding films as well as photos?
    Yes. Photo and film come from one team. Ananya and John’s film covers all three ceremonies.
