I’m always searching the PNW for the best locations to capture engagement photos. For Reem & Andre, the Spanish Steps in Tacoma were an exquisite outdoor space that embodied their love story.
Every couple has their own unique love story. Some couples’ love stories are calm and have a sense of peace to them; others fall in love fast and hard. There’s no wrong way to love your spouse, but representing the essence of your story through your engagement photoshoot location is an essential piece of the story.
Hearing more of Reem and Andre’s story and the journey they’ve taken together, the Spanish Steps in Tacoma seemed fitting. A beautiful outdoor stone structure that is versatile in function but filled with the significance of where they are heading in life, together.
Working with them to capture their engagement photos was everything I love about my job as a Tacoma engagement photographer. An evening spent fully immersed in the moment that felt effortless and filled with joy at every turn. Though the beauty of their love was evident in each moment, I have to admit, they are both an absolute joy to be around. Two beautiful souls who are united, honoring the importance of the next step they chose to embark on together.

Engagement Photos at the Spanish Steps Tacoma
If you plan on scheduling your engagement photos at the Spanish Steps in Tacoma, I have two recommendations. First, in order for us to capture photos with that unforgettable glow, the light is always best during golden hour. In photography, golden hour occurs daily at sunrise and sunset. Depending on the season you schedule your Tacoma engagement photos, I can recommend the best hour of the day for sun-drenched photos like Reem and Andre’s.
Secondly, your attire matters, to a certain degree. Reem and Andre have an undeniable sense of style. They arrived looking chic and elegant, which set the tone for our time together. But that doesn’t mean you have to do the same. Wear what feels right to you. When you feel your best, no matter what your style preferences are, it shines through every frame. You can dress as casually or as stylishly as you’d like. This is your time together in front of the camera, and staying true to your love story and who you are is what matters the most.
