A Wedding at the Environmental Services Building / The Almonte's

Anne and Michael’s wedding at the Environmental Services Building at University Place was one for the books. The Pacific Northwest weather kept us all on our toes with scattered rain showers throughout the day, but nothing could stop this amazing couple from having the best celebration ever.

From the very start, the love between Anne and Michael radiated—not just between them, but also in the way they included their adorable son, Leo, in the celebration. Watching the three of them together was such a sweet reminder of what weddings are truly about: family, joy, and starting a new chapter together.

The venue itself offered the perfect backdrop. The Environmental Services Building overlooks the Puget Sound, and even with the unpredictable weather, the day was absolutely beautiful. Between the moody skies, bursts of sunshine, and a glowing sunset to close out the night, it felt like the universe was showing off just for them.

And let me tell you—the party did not disappoint. The dance floor? Utter chaos. Glow sticks flying, people screaming lyrics like their lives depended on it, and Anne—our fearless bride—leading the charge. I swear I saw her invent new dance moves on the spot. Put simply: iconic.

This Tacoma wedding was the perfect mix of heartfelt moments, laughter, and pure fun. Anne and Michael, thank you for letting me capture your unforgettable day. Rain or shine, you two proved that love (and a little glow stick magic) makes everything better.
