Chinese Reconciliation Park

Apr

27

This engagement session was my first time photographing at Tacoma Chinese Reconciliation Park!

I can’t believe it was my first time here. I’ve driven up and down the road this park is on a million times. It’s really tucked away for how close it is to a main road headed towards Ruston Way and the Point Defiance Rose Gardens.

Amy and Rob will be getting married at the Brown’s Point Improvement Club immediately neighboring one of my favorite portrait locations, Brown’s Point Lighthouse Park!

Here is a wedding I’ve photographed at their venue before. I can’t wait to see how Amy & Rob make the venue their own!

These two are so fun and foodies like me! I love following all of their porch dinners and adventures (before this stinkin lock down!).

When we first arrived the sun was a little high, so we walked to the very edge of the park to see everything available to use during our shoot. My favorites were definitely the beautiful white bridge and the sun dial.

Thank you so much to Amy & Rob for taking the time to meet for your engagement session! Couple’s sessions before the wedding really help prepare us for portraits on your wedding day. They are so much quicker and easier when we’ve worked together before!

July seriously can’t come fast enough! ♥

A little family Wellman Update dump. Morning! I’ve struggled coming back in to write lately. I abandoned my last post in tears over the current state of The Studio. My camera bag was stolen about a year ago. Everything I’ve photographed in 2024 has been on rented equipment. Being abandoned with the children with zero […]

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]
