And the Garden is one of the most photogenic locations in Seattle for this kind of photo session.<\/p>\n<p>Once we made the decision on the location it was just a matter of choosing a time, and then hoping that the Weather Gods decided to be kind and not give us a dark and rainy day!\u00a0 As it turned out we were lucky on both counts.\u00a0 The day was actually mostly clear, meaning we had plenty of light as well as dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos from the Kubota session. I will be doing a separate post for the wedding at a later date.\u00a0 You can see lots more of my photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/\">clicking here to see my blog page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Jennyfer-Daniel-006.jpg\" alt=\"Jennyfer and Daniel during their pre-wedding ceremony photo session at the Kubota Garden in Seattle.
