Serving Tumwater, WA
Tumwater Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Tumwater Falls is one of the most cinematic ceremony backdrops in Washington — three tiers of waterfall, footbridges, and old-growth forest.
We photograph Tumwater weddings at Tumwater Falls Park, the historic Olympia Brewery, Pioneer Park, and private estates throughout Thurston County.
Engagement sessions thrive at the Falls year round — moody light in winter, lush green in spring, golden warmth in fall.
Tumwater is part of our no-travel-fee South Sound service area — 25 minutes from our Yelm studio.

- Do you photograph weddings at Tumwater Falls Park?
- Yes — Tumwater Falls is one of our most-requested Olympia-area ceremony venues. We know the lighting on each tier, the best footbridge angles, and how to time portraits around park visitors.
