Kevin & Abhi’s Surprise Proposal at Aerlume in Seattle
Proposals are some of my favorite moments to photograph—real emotion, pure surprise, and joy you can’t recreate. Kevin’s proposal to Abhi at Aerlume in Seattle had all of that and more.
A Balcony with a View
Kevin chose Aerlume’s private balcony overlooking Elliott Bay. With the water, sunset skies, and Seattle Great Wheel in the distance, it was the perfect mix of romance and city charm. As he got down on one knee, Abhi’s shock quickly turned into a huge smile. Capturing that raw “yes!” moment is what proposal photography is all about.
Celebrating the Moment
After the ring was on her finger, the two toasted with custom champagne flutes by the fire. From there, we strolled through Pike Place Market and wrapped up with portraits in front of the glowing Great Wheel. Downtown Seattle made for the perfect celebratory backdrop.
Why Aerlume Works for Proposals
Aerlume is a top choice for a Seattle proposal because:
The balcony gives you privacy and a view.
The cozy fire features and modern vibe feel romantic and special.
It’s steps away from iconic Seattle spots for extra portraits.
