Old Town Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Tacoma, WA
Old Town Tacoma — the waterfront's most photogenic stretch, with the historic dock, Job Carr cabin, and Ruston Way just steps away.
Old Town gives us Tacoma's most varied half-mile: a brick-front commercial strip, a pier-end view straight at Vashon Island, and the start of the Ruston Way waterfront promenade.
It's our default Tacoma pick for engagement sessions that want water, urban texture, and skyline all in one walk.
