Tacoma Wedding Photographers | Hilary Mercer Photography | Tacoma Newborn Photographer

Lynne is certainly a beautiful bride. I went to high school with her and I know a thing or two about her and this was exactly how I imagined her looking on her wedding day. She was beautiful even in the crazy Florida heat this summer. These photos werent taken on her wedding day though. A few days before her big day I met up with her and we stopped in at a few spots for photos.

The first was one of my favorite fields.we then made a pitstop at Milton Bakery and picked up some doughnuts and then on to her church. I hadnt been in there in quite a while and I think I had only been on Christmas Eve anyway and at night. It was nice to get to see the inside of where she and Ben would marry eachother.One of our first thoughts when brainstorming where she wanted bridals was in Bagdad. I grew up in Bagdad and I had always wanted to shoot there so I was happy to oblige. She wanted some of the bigger, old homes and my first thought was The Thompson House and apparently that was her first thought too. Cause, I was following her when she stopped there. That house has a lot of history and I have always loved it but mainly because of the mystery of it. Id never been able to go inside. So.. we pulled up and knocked. I was surprised to hear dogs barking and a little old lady answered the door. She asked if we had any interest in shooting inside and well, I wasnt going to pass up a chance to see the inside of this house. The first room she took me to was lovely and I knew I wanted to photograph Lynne inside. and in case you want to read up on this awesome historical home…
