Bride and Groom taking wedding portraits at Tacoma Yacht Club

Few venues possess the romance and elegance of a yacht club wedding. The shimmering waters, the graceful rhythm of boats, and the nautical ambiance create a setting like no other. Nestled along the Puget Sound in Tacoma, the Tacoma Yacht Club offers an unforgettable blend of sophistication and natural beauty. Recently, I had the honor of capturing Kasey and Brian's magical wedding day at this breathtaking venue, where timeless glamour and true love were celebrated against a pristine waterfront backdrop.

A Classic White and Gold Affair

Kasey and Brian envisioned a wedding day centered on classic elegance with a hint of opulence. Their carefully chosen white and gold color palette brought a touch of timeless beauty to every detail, while hints of green added a fresh and organic feel.

Kasey looked absolutely stunning in her A-line wedding gown, complete with a flowing train that exuded grace and refinement. Her veil, adorned with delicate floral details and tiny pearls, cascaded down her shoulders, giving her an ethereal glow. From behind the lens, it was a joy to capture the light in her eyes and her radiant smile.

Not to be outdone, Brian complemented Kasey’s elegance perfectly in his classic tan tuxedo. Paired with a crisp white shirt and a gold silk bow tie, he was the definition of timeless sophistication. Together, they were a picture of love and style, a dream for any Seattle wedding photographer.

The Beauty of the Tacoma Yacht Club

The Tacoma Yacht Club served as a picturesque venue for this unforgettable occasion. Located along the tranquil shores of the Puget Sound, the club offers stunning waterfront views, majestic yachts anchored in the harbor, and a sense of grandeur that set the stage for a truly magical day.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by the shimmering water and the soft sway of boats moored nearby. The ceremony took place on the carefully manicured lawn, with the Puget Sound providing a breathtaking backdrop. Framed by an elegant floral arch of creamy white roses and lush hydrangeas, Kasey and Brian exchanged vows that celebrated their enduring love and deep bond. Photographing these moments was nothing short of magical, as their love was reflected not only in their eyes but in the stillness of the serene waters behind them.

A Love Story Written in the Sky

Kasey and Brian’s love story began with a twist of fate aboard an airplane over five years ago. When Brian kindly traded seats with a young girl so she could sit next to her father, he had no idea that this act of kindness would lead him to meet the love of his life.

During the flight, Kasey fell asleep on Brian’s shoulder, a moment of unspoken connection that would go on to change both of their lives. By the time the plane landed, they had exchanged numbers, and their love story took flight. Being able to document the culmination of their story during their wedding day was an honor.

An Enchanting Evening of Celebration

Once the sun began to set, the wedding festivities moved indoors to the elegantly decorated Tacoma Yacht Club ballroom. The space was adorned with white and gold details that elevated the room to new heights of sophistication. Tables were dressed in crisp white linens with gold accents, while gold-rimmed china and crystal glassware added a regal touch to each place setting.

The reception was filled with moments overflowing with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and powerful emotions. From the humorous stories shared by loved ones to the couple’s first dance as newlyweds, every moment was rich with meaning. The evening ended with a lively dance floor and the music of a DJ and saxophonist, ensuring that every guest felt part of the celebration.
