Megan + Paul Wedding | Tacoma, WA

Megan and Paul had a beautiful wedding at the First Presbyterian Church in Tacoma. Julia and I love shooting ceremonies in beautiful old churches, and this one was as good as it gets. The reception was held at the Fircrest Golf Club in Tacoma.

After the reception, Megan and Paul took off in their Ferrari… Julia and I followed in my little Honda all the way to Seattle. I did the driving and Julia was half-way out of the window trying to snap some shots on I-5 at 80 MPH. On a side note, if you want to piss people off, try using a flash on your camera, on the freeway, at night, we got a few honks for that. But we wanted to get some paparazzi-style photos and last time I checked that’s how the paparazzi roll, anyways, it was a fun way to finish off the night.

Congratulations Megan and Paul!
