Bald Hill Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Yelm, WA
Bald Hill wedding photography — Yelm's working farms, big skies, and the wildflower meadows above the prairie.
Bald Hill Road is where we shoot most of Yelm's backyard and barn weddings: working farms, long gravel driveways, and the kind of golden-hour sky you can't get anywhere closer to Seattle.
Spring brings camas wildflowers; summer brings warm hay-field light all the way to 9pm.
