When Ashley and Connor said “I do,” they invited their guests into a world of timeless refinement—think crisp black-tie elegance meets endless Pacific Northwest summer light. Their celebration at Fox Hollow Farm was radiant, joyful, and effortlessly luxurious.
Venue + Vibe
Nestled just outside Seattle, Fox Hollow Farm is a 1940s manor estate surrounded by lush gardens, rolling hills, and a charming barn—offering the perfect blend of classic and natural.
For Ashley and Connor, the summer afternoon sun bathed the manor’s grounds in warm light, giving the gardens a luminous glow and the clear-top tent reception space a fresh, airy ambience. Clean white linens, polished glass-ware, and refined black accents made the décor feel modern yet timeless.
The Aesthetic: Classic Luxury + Summery Ease
- Attire: Guests were in full black-tie; tuxedos for the gents, elegant gowns for the ladies. Ashley floated down the aisle in a gown of minimalist elegance, and Connor was dashing in a classic tux.
- Color Palette: A crisp palette of ivory, deep charcoal, and lush green from the gardens. Subtle touches of champagne metallic kept things clean but warm.
- Decor & Details: Think white roses and greenery, sleek taper candles in hurricane vases (the venue only permits LED/contained flames outdoors) Landmark Event Company. A cocktail hour by the garden path invited mingling in the golden light before the formal reception.
- Lighting & Atmosphere: As evening fell, soft uplighting around the tent structure glowed warm, creating a dreamy summer twilight ambiance. The dance floor kicked off under string lights, summer breeze in the air.
Storytelling Through Our Lens
As your Seattle-based wedding photography & videography team, Kayla & I brought our full energy to Ashley and Connor’s day—matching the vibe with a calm and considered approach. I handled the filmmaking (Truth), Kayla captured the photography, and together we blended the candid, the emotive, the cinematic.
- We began with detail shots in the manor’s dressing suites: cufflinks, the invitation suite, the bride’s shoes against the garden backdrop.
- The first look took place in the garden, sunlight filtering through leaves, Ashley smiling with anticipation, Connor turning to see her—so genuine.
- The ceremony: simplicity at its finest. Under a classic archway framed by white blooms and greenery, the vows echoed in the open air.
- Reception highlights: the entrance—choreographed but natural—gave way to laughter, the clinking of champagne glasses, and moments that only a deep-lens can catch (a father wiping a tear, a best friend dancing like no one’s watching).
- Our film captured the day’s narrative: the morning calm, the ceremony’s promise, the formal dinner’s elegance, and the night’s carefree dance.
- Photography preserved the moments you’ll show your grandkids: the groom’s proud smile, the bride’s lighthearted twirl, the whole crowd under stars.
Why It Matters
Luxury isn’t about opulence—it’s about intentionality. Ashley and Connor didn’t just pick black-tie and grand décor; they created an experience rooted in love, in meaningful moments, but with the polish of a summer soirée. And we were honored to document every second.
