South Capitol Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Olympia, WA
South Capitol Olympia — historic homes, tree-lined streets, and the residential glow just behind the dome.
South Capitol is Olympia's prettiest residential pocket — early-1900s craftsman and colonial homes on streets that lead straight back to the Capitol Campus.
We use it for at-home family sessions, porch elopements, and engagement walks that finish at the dome.
