Tumwater Border Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Olympia, WA
South Olympia and the Tumwater border — Tumwater Falls Park, the Brewery District, and the Deschutes corridor.
Where Olympia hands off to Tumwater, we get the South Sound's most famous waterfall photo spot, the brick Olympia Brewery ruins above it, and the Deschutes River trail running between them.
Tumwater Falls Park is our most-booked South Olympia engagement location — a single 90-minute session covers the lower falls, the trail, and the historic brewery skyline.
