Wedding Photographer in Puyallup, WA

Puyallup sits in the river valley that carries the Puyallup River from the slopes of Mount Rainier to Commencement Bay — a geographic position that gives the city one of the most dramatic mountain-and-valley wedding landscapes in Western Washington. On clear days, Mount Rainier dominates the eastern sky from most elevated positions in Puyallup. The valley floor's agricultural history persists in the hop fields and daffodil farms that Puyallup is historically associated with.

That agricultural heritage directly produced the wedding venue landscape here. Puyallup and the surrounding Puyallup Valley have an extraordinary concentration of farm and countryside wedding venues — more per square mile than almost anywhere else in Pierce County. Love's Manor on State Route 162, Rock Creek Gardens, Farm 12 Events, and Farmhouse 14 all occupy the valley's farmland position within a few miles of each other.

Love's Manor on WA-162 is a well-established Puyallup Valley wedding property with grounds that photograph with the valley's characteristic mix of open farmland and mountain backdrop. Rock Creek Gardens Wedding and Event Venue on 164th Street East is a garden venue with lush Pacific Northwest plantings and a creek running through the property — the water feature creates portrait options that dry-land venues lack.

Farmhouse 14 on WA-162 is a farmhouse-aesthetic venue that fits naturally into the Puyallup Valley's agricultural landscape. The Kelley Farm in Bonney Lake northeast of Puyallup is one of Pierce County's most-booked barn venues — a working farm with significant guest capacity and strong outdoor ceremony options. Laurel Creek Manor in Sumner provides a more formal manor-and-garden option for couples who want structure alongside the valley's pastoral character.

We arrive during getting-ready and stay through early reception — eight hours covers most Puyallup wedding days. The Puyallup Valley's geography concentrates venues within a relatively compact area, which makes multi-venue days efficient. Pioneer Park Pavilion in downtown Puyallup provides a public park portrait option for couples whose venues don't have extensive grounds.

Mount Rainier visibility is a factor in portrait planning at Puyallup's valley venues. On clear summer days, the mountain's presence in the eastern sky is extraordinary — we position outdoor couple portraits to include Rainier in the background whenever the venue's layout and orientation allow. Galleries are delivered within six weeks.
