Classic Seattle Tennis Club Wedding
Emmie and Jack’s wedding at the Seattle Tennis Club was the perfect blend of classic elegance and joyful celebration. Overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Washington with sweeping views of Mount Rainier in the distance, this venue is one of Seattle’s most iconic spots for couples who want a mix of sophistication and stunning natural beauty. The club’s manicured grounds, charming dock, and airy reception spaces make it a dream location for a summer wedding.
The day began with Emmie surrounded by her closest friends and family, getting ready in the light-filled bridal suite. Laughter, excitement, and happy anticipation filled the air as final touches were made — hair perfectly pinned, makeup polished, and the wedding dress carefully fastened. It was the perfect mix of calm and joyful energy before the big reveal.
Emmie and Jack chose to share a private first look before the ceremony. A beautiful, intimate moment away from the crowd. Set against the backdrop of soft lake breezes, it was the perfect time for them to exchange heartfelt words and let the day’s excitement truly sink in.
The Seattle Tennis Club’s gardens and docks on the waterfront created an incredible setting for wedding party portraits. The group was full of laughter and celebration, making for genuine and joyful photos. The soft summer light reflected off the water, adding a warm, romantic glow to every image.
Their ceremony took place on the club’s lawn, with Lake Washington providing a breathtaking natural backdrop. Guests were greeted by the sound of gentle waves and the scent of fresh blooms in the air. As Emmie walked down the aisle, every eye was on her. The moment was filled with love, excitement, and a few happy tears.
During the reception, friends and family gave heartfelt toasts that blended humor, sentiment, and cherished memories. Each speech offered a glimpse into Emmie and Jack’s relationship and the impact they’ve had on the people around them.
As the evening light softened, Emmie and Jack shared their first dance under the open-air tent. Guests gathered around, watching the two sway together, completely in the moment. It was romantic, joyful, and the perfect way to kick off the night’s celebration.
Once the dance floor opened, the celebration truly took off. From fun group dances to spontaneous twirls, everyone was on their feet. The live music, the lights, and the energy created a lively atmosphere that carried on late into the night.
