Fircrest Golf Club

Aug

28

Amanda and Brian’s Fircrest Golf Club wedding took place on May 29, 2021. I just had to look that up and my gosh it does not feel like that long ago.

We started the day at Amanda’s aunts house for getting ready photos. From there, we had a beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church in Tacoma, Washington. It was my second Catholic wedding ceremony at this chapel and WOW! I will jump at the chance to document a wedding at this chapel any day. I love the classic traditional feel of this gorgeous building. Whereas I love my profoto Speedlight’s, the opportunity and challenge to document a wedding ceremony with no flash in an old chapel is just fun. Especially with the use of their balcony.

After the ceremony, we party bussed to Point Defiance Park for couples & bridal party photos. From there, it was straight to Fircrest Golf Club for the massive party they had all been waiting for!

Dancing was so fun and the perfect conditions for “dragging the shutter”. Take a look at the reception photos to see what I’m talking about. It’s a really fun technique to portray motion but it only works when there is a lot of it. This crew loved to dance!

Congratulations, Amanda & Brian! Clynn and I loved documenting your big day.

They’re all taking great care of me, too! Working my booty offf. Trying to eat healthy and navigate adulting more […]

The in between

Life has been very romantic lately. Unknown and confusing and both flighty and grounded all at once. I remember being 14 and seeing my entire life by your side. Life is wild. I remember a water bottle and abandoned bleachers. I remember axe body spray and the way I had never been kissed. I know […]

Nirvana & I think of you

I hope you know better than to think I’d want to be anywhere but here right now. It was true on NYE and it’s true right now in my car outside the café. This may have felt seamless. Too seamless. Happenstance. But I’m here on purpose, now. I see your soft heart and I see […]

I hope you know better

You’ll walk through a glittering white veil, uncharacteristically soft compared to what you’ll find behind it. It has no need to keep you out. You quickly realize it’s the aura within that turns most around. The texture disorients. I’ll already be inside. What do you see? Upon first impression, you’re in a desert. Interesting considering […]
