Anniversary photo ideas + locations in Tacoma
Anniversary photos are about the life you've built since the wedding. Some couples go back to where it started; others dress up and make an evening of it. Either way, the place should feel personal.
Tacoma is home for Sunday House, and its best photo spots sit along the water: Commencement Bay, Point Defiance and the Narrows. Add historic brick, a castle-like high school and a glass museum, and you can get three looks without leaving the city.

Plan it like a photographer.
- Go back to where it began — your first date, your proposal spot, your wedding venue.
- Bring something from the wedding: the veil, the bouquet ribbon, the vows, the album.
- Book the session before a dinner reservation and make the evening the gift.
- Summer evenings on the waterfront glow late, and fall turns Wright Park and Point Defiance gold.
