Thornewood Castle is pretty much the most unique wedding venue in the state of Washington. Brick by brick, this now 500 year old castle was brought over from England in the early 1900s and rebuilt using the original wood, bricks, paneling, stained glass, and other part. It took three ships to bring everything over to the Pacific Northwest! Not only is this amazing piece of architecture so beautiful, it is also located in the most beautiful, peaceful garden and waterfront setting. We love working at Thornewood, not only for the amazing charm but the current owners take such care in making sure every wedding is flawless. The landscaping is so perfect for the setting and there are countless romantic places to take photographs of the couple; it’s a photographer’s dream and Megan Montalvo obviously had a glorious time! We just love the images she captured! Continue reading “James and Veronica’s Fairytale Thornewood Castle Wedding”

What a gorgeous winter wedding this was last January at Thornewood Castle! Katie at Red Sparrow Photography did a beautiful job of photographing this sweet couple and all of the dreamy little details that made this intimate wedding so special! We had some yummy hors d’oeuvres tray passed after the ceremony and then there was a royal seated dinner followed by dessert from NY Cupcakes.
