Bonney Lake Wedding Photographer – Angie & Mark’s Hidden Stone Palace Wedding
ANGIE & MARK’S BONNEY LAKE WEDDING
Angie and Mark’s wedding at The Hidden Stone Palace in Bonney Lake, Washington was quiet, meaningful, and unforgettable. Tucked into the forest, the venue felt like a peaceful retreat. My sister Rita asked me to photograph it, since Mark is her son, and I was honored to capture the day. There was no dancing or alcohol, just live music, great food, a few thoughtful prayers, and two people fully in love. Angie, a beautiful Ukrainian bride, lit up the space with her smile. It wasn’t your typical “American” wedding, but it was absolutely worth remembering. If you're looking for a Washington wedding photographer, this one’s a solid example of how meaningful a quieter day can be.
What I loved about the Hidden Stone Palace
PEACEFUL FEEL
The forest location makes the whole place feel like a retreat. You’re surrounded by trees, filtered light, and quiet. No city noise, no rush. Just space to breathe and take it all in. From the ceremony through dinner, it felt calm and steady—like everyone could actually slow down and enjoy what was happening.
ALL-IN-ONE PLACE
No need to drive or shuffle people around. The ceremony, family prayers, dinner, and music all happened in the same space. That kept things smooth and simple. No downtime, no stress. Just one continuous story, from start to finish.
PHOTOGRAPHER NOTES
As both the photographer and family, it was an easy day to shoot. The forest light worked in my favor, and the layout let me move without getting in the way. Even without dancing or a big crowd, there was plenty to capture.
