Weddings at the Hollywood School House Woodinville, WA
I recently completed a wedding at the Hollywood School House in Woodinville, WA
and again was pleasantly surprised on how nice a location this is.
The grounds are well kept and pleasant to just walk around.
Although outdoor weddings can create problems for photographers,
there is a great setting for one if you wish and plan it correctly.
Your photographer will just have to do some work to remove the many power lines,
telephone poles and the neighbors house and their car.
Inside, with the many windows, it was a great place to shoot photography.
I was able to use natural light during the entire daytime wedding ceremony and reception.
The angle of the photographs just has to be right in order to keep the bright sunlight from the
windows making everything a silhouette.
The couple had given me permission to move during the wedding which allowed me to be up front behind the minister.
I was able to capture many great shots of the bride and groom as they gazed into each other’s eyes.
The hall is smaller, so events of more than 150 people would be impractical.
The Bride was able to drive up in a classic car right to the side door of the school house
making her arrival a grand event and she was able to walk right in and down the aisle to meet her groom.
After the wedding, the downstairs hall had to be re-arranged for the reception,
(chairs moved and tables added)
so all the guests had to make their way upstairs where drinks and snacks were served during this transition.
During this time, as the photographer,
I was able to take the bride and groom outside for portrait pictures with them and the family.
Outside there is many shrubs, trees and brushes for backgrounds and a cool brook that flows
along the school house building.
All and all, a very nice place for any event.
