Mitch and Sophie at the most vibrant wedding at the MV Skansonia the summer of 2024. Surrounded by friends and family, this stylish couple showed off Seattle, rainbow and all.
I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph their nuptials by none other than Belathee, a studio I’ve admired for the longest time. Thanks Dorotheé for the honor!
And thank you vendor partners for putting on such a fine show!

About the Venue: The MV Skansonia
The MV Skansonia, a beautifully restored historic ferry, is one of Seattle’s most unique wedding venues, offering a perfect blend of vintage charm and breathtaking waterfront views. Managed by Landmark Events, this iconic vessel is permanently docked on Lake Union, providing couples with a stunning backdrop of the Seattle skyline, shimmering waters, and scenic sunsets. Built in 1929, the Skansonia once ferried passengers across the Puget Sound before being transformed into a distinctive event space, preserving its maritime heritage while offering modern elegance for weddings and celebrations.
The venue features multiple versatile spaces to accommodate ceremonies and receptions of various styles. The open-air bow deck is an ideal setting for a romantic waterfront ceremony, with panoramic views creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Inside, the spacious main deck showcases original woodwork, vintage nautical details, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The cozy bar area adds a warm, intimate touch for cocktail hours, while the expansive reception hall allows for a seamless transition from dinner to dancing.
With Landmark Events providing expert planning, gourmet catering, and personalized service, the MV Skansonia delivers an unforgettable wedding experience, where history, elegance, and waterfront beauty come together to create a one-of-a-kind celebration.
