With that in mind, Keeney always tells couples to choose a location that&#8217;s meaningful to them. \u201cIf hiking is a big part of their lives, it makes sense to involve that in the location,&#8221; she says. &#8220;If their idea of a good time is brunch and record shopping, then an urban setting makes a lot of sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeney, along with other top wedding photographers Jonas Seaman of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jonas-seaman.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonas Seaman Photography<\/a>, Malorie Kerouac of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maloriekerouac.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Malorie Kerouac Photography<\/a>, and Dacia Pierson of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eagerheartsphotography.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eager Hearts Photography Co<\/a>., share their top picks for stunning locations to take engagement photos in Seattle and the surrounding communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-belltown\"><strong>1.
