Tacoma Washington Wedding at Sander’s Estate
August 30, 2024
It was a picture-perfect day for Nate and Taylor’s wedding at Sander’s Estate, nestled just outside Tacoma, Washington. As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve captured love stories across many stunning locations, but this day was truly unique. Not only did we have the beautiful backdrop of the estate, but this wedding held a special place in my heart. Ten years ago, Nate, Taylor, and I were working together at a Peruvian restaurant in Idaho. Little did we know, that was the beginning of their love story—and now, here we are on their wedding day. To be part of their journey from the start and then to capture their wedding day felt like everything had come full circle.
The day was nothing short of magical. Family and friends from all over gathered to celebrate Nate and Taylor, filling the day with warmth, laughter, and endless love. The sun was shining, casting a golden glow over the lush gardens of Sander’s Estate, making it the perfect setting for their wedding. The couple’s vision was to create a day that felt both intimate and grand, and this venue allowed them to do just that.
