Annie Wright School Wedding

Annie Wright School in Tacoma in a stunning (and I mean stunning) wedding venue. Unexpected, dripping with old-world romance, charming, grand-- it's got all the makings for a perfect host for your wedding soiree. As a Portland wedding photographer, I love traveling to Tacoma to shoot weddings just outside of my hometown. Annie Wright School weddings can be indoors or outdoors in their on-site wedding chapel or the magnificent brick courtyard adjacent. The Annie Wright school property is also a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography, bridal portraits and golden hour photos. I mean, who wouldn't want to have portraits against all that Downtown Abby-esque beauty? 

  On a recent trip to Tacoma for a wedding, I shot 5 or 6 rolls of medium format film. Of course, these fine art images are by far my favorite of all the wedding photos captured that day. I really just need to shoot all film (except for the expense- eek!) 

  Enjoy these fashion inspired Annie Wright School wedding photos!

First Presbyterian Tacoma Wedding: Sarah + Steve

First Presbyterian Tacoma is a historic edifice of romantic grandeur. Bride and Groom's have been making their wedding vows under the stain glass windows for decades and on this chilly Saturday in Janurary, Steve and Sarah joined the throng. 

  With only a brief 3 month engagement, many hands joined together to put on this classic Tacoma wedding. A plethora of friends and family gathered around as Sarah was escorted down the aisle by her beloved Grandfather. Light filtered softly from the windows high above as Steve and Sarah committed to love each other faithfully till death do us part. 

  As a Portland wedding photographer, I loved the opportunity of getting out of my hometown for fresh photographic inspiration in the urban environment of downtown Tacoma. After the wedding Steve and Sarah opted to finish their wedding portraits at the nearby Hotel Murano, and it was truly worth the extra effort. 

  Steve and Sarah, I couldn't stop smiling at your wedding, your bridal party, immediate family and dear relatives were warm, hilarious, and such a tribute to you both. Clearly you have an amazing heritage behind you. Many blessings on your new marriage, I am confident that it will stand the test of time :)
